Full spectrum of turbulence convective mixing: II. Lithium production in AGB stars
I. Mazzitelli, F. D'Antona, P. Ventura
We present results from new, detailed computations of lithium production by hot bottom burning (HBB) in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of intermediate mass. The dependance of…
