Low mass AGB stellar models for 0.003 < Z < 0.02: basic formulae for nucleosynthesis calculations

Abstract

We have extended our published set of low mass AGB stellar models to lower metallicity. Different mass loss rates have been explored. Interpolation formulae for luminosity, effective temperature, core mass, mass of dredge up material and maximum temperature in the convective zone generated by thermal pulses are provided. Finally, we discuss the modifications of these quantities as obtained when an appropriate treatment of the inward propagation of the convective instability, caused by the steep rise of the radiative opacity occurring when the convective envelope penetrates the H-depleted region, is taken into account.
