Post-Asymptotic Giant Branch Evolution of Low- and Intermediate-Mass Stars. Preliminary Results [PDF]
Preliminary results from an ongoing project to compute a grid of post-AGB models is presented. Our preliminary results show that stellar evolution computations that include an updated treatment of the microphysics predict post-AGB timescales that are ...

Ecological Implications of Germination Temperature on Native and Invasive Rumex Spp.
ABSTRACT Rumex alpinus L. (R. alpinus) is a non‐native invasive plant in Czech mountain regions, altering ecosystem structure and function in protected areas. Rumex obtusifolius L. (R. obtusifolius) is a native species and a problematic weed in Czech meadows, while Rumex longifolius DC. (R.

Observations of Molecular CN toward S-type Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
S-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are defined by their carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio approaching unity. However, observations of circumstellar molecules in these stars are limited and challenging.

Spitzer observations of large amplitude variables in the LMC and IC 1613
The 3.6 and 4.5 ìm characteristics of asymptotic giant branch variables in the LMC and IC 1613 are discussed. For C-rich Mira variables there is a very clear periodluminosity-colour relation, where the [3.6] .

On the Origin of Morphological Structures of Planetary Nebulae
We suggest that most of the mass in planetary nebulae (PNe) resides in the equatorial region and the spherical envelope and the optically bright lobes of PNe are in fact low-density cavities cleared out by fast outflows and photoionized by UV photons ...

Blueprint for a Universal Theory of Learning to Read: The Combinatorial Model
The Reading Tree. Abstract In this essay, I outline some of the essential ingredients of a universal theory of reading acquisition, one that seeks to highlight commonalities while embracing the global diversity of languages, writing systems, and cultures.

Topographic Drag at the Core‐Mantle Interface
Abstract The length of day variations with periods from five to one hundred years are mainly due to core‐mantle interactions. Assuming a differential velocity between the core and the mantle, we investigate the pressure coupling on a core‐mantle boundary (CMB) interface with topography. Including rotation, buoyancy, and magnetic effects in local models

EVOLUTION AND NUCLEOSYNTHESIS OF ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH STELLAR MODELS OF LOW METALLICITY [PDF]
We present stellar evolutionary tracks and nucleosynthetic predictions for a grid of stellar models of low- and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars at Z = 0.001 ([Fe/H] =−1.2).
