Pulsating stars in the VMC survey
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) began observations in 2009 and since then, it has collected multi-epoch data at Ks and in addition multi-band data in Y and J for a wide range of stellar populations across the Magellanic system ...

Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesAccording to a standard initial mass function, stars in the range 7–12 M ⊙ constitute ∼50% (by number) of the stars more massive than ∼7 M ⊙, but in spite of this, their evolutionary properties, and in particular their final fate, are still scarcely ...

Evolution of asymptotic giant branch stars. I. Updated synthetic TP-AGB models and their basic calibration [PDF]
, 2007 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 Large Magellanic Cloud as a laboratory for hot bottom burning in massive asymptotic giant branch stars [PDF]
, 2015 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.

The accretion of brown dwarfs and planets by giant stars -- I. Asymptotic giant branch stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1999 We study the response of the structure of an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star to the accretion of a brown dwarf or planet in its interior. In particular, we examine the case in which the brown dwarf spirals-in, and the accreted matter is deposited at the base of the convective envelope and in the thin radiative shell surrounding the hydrogen burning ...

Stellar Models and Yields of Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars [PDF]
Publications Astronomical Society of Australia, 2007 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 ...

Planetary nebulae: a key tool to reconstruct the evolutionary history of stars
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesPlanetary 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 ...

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]
, 2016 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 ...
