Yields from single AGB stars
نویسنده
چکیده
In order to understand the composition of planetary nebulae we first need to study the nucleosynthesis occurring in the progenitor star during the thermally-pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase. I present an overview of single AGB evolution, with an emphasis on the mixing processes that alter the envelope composition, followed by a discussion of the stellar yields available from single AGB stellar models.

Intermediate-mass Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars and Sources of Al, Fe, Pd, and Hf in the Solar System
We explore the possibility that the short-lived radionuclides A 26 l, F 60 e, P 107 d, and H 182 f inferred to be present in the proto-solar cloud originated from 3–8M☉ asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Models of AGB stars with initial mass above M 5 ☉ are prolific producers of A 26 l owing to hot bottom burning (HBB). In contrast, F 60 e, P 107 d, and H 182 f are produced by neutron capture...
متن کاملNew theoretical yields of intermediate mass stars
We present theoretical yields of H, 16 O for stars with initial masses between 0.8 and 8 M ⊙ and initial metallicities Z = 0.001, 0.004, 0.008, 0.02, and 0.04. We use the evolutionary tracks of the Geneva group up to the early asymptotic giant branch (AGB) in combination with a synthetic thermal-pulsing AGB evolution model to follow in detail the chemical evolution and mass loss up to the end o...
متن کاملStellar Models and Yields of Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
We present stellar yields calculated from detailed models of low and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We evolve models with a range of mass from 1 to 6M⊙, and initial metallicities from solar to 1/200 of the solar metallicity. Each model was evolved from the zero age main sequence to near the end of the thermally-pulsing AGB (TP-AGB) phase, and through all intermediate pha...
متن کاملFluorine in carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars: a binary scenario
Aims. A super-solar fluorine abundance was observed in the carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) star HE 1305+0132 ([F/Fe] = +2.90, [Fe/H] = −2.5). We propose that this observation can be explained using a binary model that involve mass transfer from an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star companion and, based on this model, we predict F abundances in CEMP stars in general. We discuss wether F can be...
متن کاملThe Impact of the 18f(α,p)21ne Reaction on Asymptotic Giant Branch Nucleosynthesis
We present detailed models of low and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with and without the 18F(α,p)21Ne reaction included in the nuclear network, where the rate for this reaction has been recently experimentally evaluated for the first time. The lower and recommended measured rates for this reaction produce negligible changes to the stellar yields, whereas the upper limit ...
