Full computation of massive AGB evolution. II. The role of mass loss and cross-sections
Paolo Ventura, Francesca D'Antona
In the course of a systematic exploration of the uncertainties associated to the input micro- and macro-physics in the modeling of the evolution of intermediate mass stars during t…
Helium self--enrichment and the second parameter problem in M3 and M13
V. Caloi, F. D'Antona
Inspection of the CM diagrams of globular clusters having similar heavy element content shows that the luminosity of the red giant bump relative to the turnoff (Delta V_{TO}^{bump}…
The early evolution of Globular Clusters: the case of NGC 2808
Francesca D'Antona, Vittoria Caloi
Enhancement and spread of helium among globular cluster stars have been recently suggested as a way to explain the horizontal branch blue tails, in those clusters which show a prim…
Exploring Brown Dwarf Disks in rho Oph
A. Natta, L. Testi, F. Comeron +5
This paper discusses evidence for and properties of disks associated to brown dwarfs in the star-forming region rho-Oph. We selected nine objects fr om the ISOCAM survey of Bontemp…
Where May Ultra-Fast Rotating Neutron Stars Be Hidden?
L. Burderi, A. Possenti, F. D'Antona +7
The existence of ultra-fast rotating neutron stars (spin period P < 1 ms) is expected on the basis of current models for the secular evolution of interacting binaries, though they…
Lithium and mass loss in massive AGB stars in the Large Magellanic Clouds
P. Ventura, F. D'Antona, I. Mazzitelli
The aim of this work is to use full evolutionary models to derive observational constraints on the mass loss rate of the upper Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. The observations…
