The modern review of the stars which are located at the position of asymptotic giant branch at the HRdiagram is presented. The most interesting problems connected to these objects are noted, as well as attention is paid to classification and to the ...

Systematic Search for Water Fountain Candidates Using the Databases of Circumstellar Maser Sources
Water fountains (WFs) are thought to be objects in the morphological evolution of the circumstellar envelopes of low- and intermediate-mass evolved stars, transitioning from spherically symmetric to asymmetric shapes.

Pulsating post-asymptotic giant branch stars [PDF]
Numerical stability analyses of envelopes of post-asymptotic giant branch stars show instabilities towards radial pulsations over a broad range of effective temperatures, although only stars with sufficiently high luminosity-to-mass ratios and high enough iron abundances are excited.

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] .

Dredge-Up in Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars [PDF]
The third dredge-up phenomenon in asymptotic giant branch stars, responsible for the formation of C stars, is discussed based on detailed evolutionary model calculations. The structural readjustment of the star as dredge-up proceeds is analyzed, and its consequences on dredge-up predictions discussed.

Mass loss and rotational CO emission from Asymptotic Giant Branch stars [PDF]
: We present submillimeter observations of rotational transitions of carbon monoxide from J = 2 -> 1 up to 7 -> 6 for a sample of Asymptotic Giant Branch stars and red supergiants.

Gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters can create extreme magnification (μ > 1000) near the cluster caustics, thereby enabling detections of individual luminous stars in high-redshift background galaxies.

Extra–Mixing Processes in Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars [PDF]
Extra mixing is the mixing of material in regions that are stable against convection. We identify two situations in asymptotic giant branch stars where extra mixing is thought to be required.

Multiple populations along the asymptotic giant branch of the globular cluster M 4 [PDF]
Nearly all Galactic globular clusters host stars that display characteristic abundance anti-correlations, like the O-rich/Na-poor pattern typical of field halo stars, together with O-poor/Na-rich additional components.
