Partial mixing and the formation of 13C pockets in AGB stars: effects on the s-process elements
J. F. Buntain, C. L. Doherty, M. Lugaro +3
The production of the elements heavier than iron via slow neutron captures (the s process) is a main feature of the contribution of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of low mass…
Super-AGB Stars and their role as Electron Capture Supernova progenitors
Carolyn L. Doherty, Pilar Gil-Pons, Lionel Siess +1
We review the lives, deaths and nucleosynthetic signatures of intermediate mass stars in the range approximately 6.5-12 Msun, which form super-AGB stars near the end of their lives…
Stellar yields and abundances: new directions from planetary nebulae
Maria Lugaro, Amanda I. Karakas, Marco Pignatari +1
Planetary nebulae retain the signature of the nucleosynthesis and mixing events that occurred during the previous AGB phase. Observational signatures complement observations of AGB…
