Third Dredge-up in Low Mass Stars: Solving the LMC Carbon Star Mystery
A long standing problem with asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star models has been their inability to produce the low-luminosity carbon stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Dredge-up must begin earlier and extend deeper. We find this for the first time in our models of LMC metallicity. Such features are not found in our models of SMC metallicity. The fully implicit and simultaneous stel...
متن کاملMass loss and dust formation around oxygen - rich evolved stars
Infrared spectra of a number of evolved O-rich stars have been obtained with the Short and Long Wavelength spectrometers on board the Infrared Space Observatory. The very broad wavelength coverage (2.4–197μm) obtained by combining observations made with the two spectrometers includes practically all of the flux emitted by the sources, and allows us to determine the emission and absorption featu...
متن کاملDeep Dredge-up in Intermediate-Mass Thermally Pulsing AGB Stars
We present results of the evolution of AGB stars of 3M⊙ and 5M⊙ with solar metallicity calculated with the Eggleton stellar evolution code (stars), which has a fully implicit and simultaneous method for solving for the stellar structure, convective mixing and nuclear burning. We introduce the concept of a viscous mesh in order to improve the numerical stability of the calculations. For the 5M⊙ ...
متن کاملIntense Mass Loss from C-rich AGB Stars at low Metallicity?
We argue that the energy injection of pulsations may be of greater importance to the mass-loss rate of AGB stars than metallicity, and that the mass-loss trend with metallicity is not as simple as sometimes assumed. Using our detailed radiation hydrodynamical models that include dust formation, we illustrate the effects of pulsation energy on wind properties. We find that the mass-loss rate sca...
متن کاملMass loss and very low-metallicity stars
Mass loss plays a dominant role in the evolution of massive stars at solar metallicity. After discussing different mass loss mechanisms and their metallicity dependence, we present the possibility of strong mass loss at very low metallicity. Our models at Z = 10−8 show that stars more massive than about 60 M⊙ may lose a significant fraction of their initial mass in the red supergiant phase. Thi...
