Evolution of asymptotic giant branch stars. I. Updated synthetic TP-AGB models and their basic calibration [PDF]
We present new synthetic models of the TP-AGB evolution. They are computed for 7 values of initial metal content (Z from 0.0001 to 0.03) and for initial masses between 0.5 and 5.0 M , thus extending the low- and intermediate-mass tracks of Girardi et al.

The intermediate neutron-capture process in AGB stars [PDF]
The intermediate neutron-capture process is thought to arise when protons are mixed in a convective helium-burning zone. This can happen during the early Thermally-Pulsing (TP) Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase of low-mass, low-metallicity stars. After

The Large Magellanic Cloud as a laboratory for hot bottom burning in massive asymptotic giant branch stars [PDF]
We use Spitzer observations of the rich population of Asymptotic Giant Branch stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to test models describing the internal structure and nucleosynthesis of the most massive of these stars, i.e.

Stellar Models and Yields of Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars [PDF]
We present stellar yields calculated from detailed models of low and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We evolve models with a range of mass from 1 to 6 M⊙, and initial metallicities from solar to 1/200th of the solar metallicity ...

FLUORINE ABUNDANCES IN GALACTIC ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH STARS
An analysis of the fluorine abundance in Galactic asymptotic giant branch (AGB) carbon stars (24 N-type, 5 SC-type, and 5 J-type) is presented. This study uses the state-of-the-art carbon-rich atmosphere models and improved atomic and molecular line lists in the 2.3 μm region.

A proposed direct measurement of cross section at Gamow window for key reaction 19F(p,α) 16O in Asymptotic Giant Branch stars with a planned accelerator in CJPL [PDF]
In 2014, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) approved the Jinping Underground Nuclear Astrophysics laboratory (JUNA) project, which aims at direct cross-section measurements of four key stellar nuclear reactions right down to the ...

Planetary nebulae: a key tool to reconstruct the evolutionary history of stars
Planetary nebulae, among the most fascinating objects in the sky, have been extensively investigated in the past years, because their study provides important information on the low and intermediate mass stellar populations of the host environment ...

Model Dust Envelopes for Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars. I. OH/IR Stars [PDF]
OH/IR stars are the most massive and youngest subclass in asymptotic giant branch stars which pass through sporadic superwind phases. We have modeled the dust envelopes around OH/IR stars with close attention to the evolution of the structure of the dust
