The s process in rotating low-mass AGB stars - Nucleosynthesis calculations in models matching asteroseismic constraints [PDF]
AimsWe investigate the s-process during the AGB phase of stellar models whose cores are enforced to rotate at rates consistent with asteroseismology observations of their progenitors and successors.MethodsWe calculated new 2 M?, Z = 0.01 models, rotating

Post-AGB stars in the AKARI survey
Obscured by their circumstellar dusty envelopes post-AGB stars emit a large fraction of their energy in the infrared and thus, infrared sky surveys like IRAS were essential for discoveries of post-AGBs in the past. Now, with the AKARI infrared sky survey we can extend our knowledge about the late stages of stellar evolution.

Evolution and Pulsations of Population I Post-AGB Stars [PDF]
Evolutionary calculations of population I stars with initial masses $M_0=1M_\odot$, $1.5M_\odot$ and $2M_\odot$ were carried out up to the stage of the proto--planetary nebula. Selected models of post--AGB evolutionary sequences with effective temperatures $3.6\times 10^3\,\mathrm{K}\lesssim T_\mathrm{eff}\lesssim 2\times 10^4\,\mathrm{K}$ were used as

FRUITY Upgrades on AGB Evolution and Nucleosynthesis [PDF]
Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars are among the major polluters of the interstellar medium. These objects produce both light (C, N, O, F, Na) and heavy elements (via the slow neutron capture process, the s-process).

This review presents the latest advances in the nebular studies of post-AGB objects. Post-AGB stars are great tools to test nucleosynthesis and evolution models for stars of low and intermediate masses, and the evolution of dust in harsh environment.

Evolutionary Models for AGB Stars in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) are the most robust calibrators for the modelling of this phase, thanks to the large collection of high-quality data (photometry, chemistry, pulsation properties, mass-loss, dust features, etc.) presently ...

NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY OF POST-AGB STARS [PDF]
The results of a medium resolution near-infrared spectral survey of 18 post-AGB candidate stars are presented. Most of the stars have near-infrared hydrogen lines in absorption, which is normal for their spectral types.

Post-AGB Stars with Circumbinary Discs
Circumbinary discs are commonly observed around post-asymptotic giant branch (AGB) systems and are known to play an important role in their evolution. Several studies have pointed out that a circumbinary disc interacts through resonances with the central binary and leads to angular momentum transfer from the central binary orbit to the disc.

Starlight and Sandstorms : Mass Loss Mechanisms on the AGB
There are strong observational indications that the dense slow winds of cool luminous AGB stars are driven by radiative pressure on dust grains which form in the extended atmospheres resulting from pulsation-induced shocks.

Spectroscopic survey of post-AGB star candidates
Aims.Our goal is to establish the true nature of post-AGB star candidates and to identify new post-AGB stars. Methods.We used low resolution optical spectroscopy and we compared the spectra of the candidate post-AGB stars with those of stars in ...
