Long-term evolution of AGB wind envelopes: insights from hydrodynamical models
Up to now, hydrodynamical models of dust-driven AGB winds do not generally take into account the 'long-term' changes of the stellar parameters (on stellar evolution time scales of 10"3 to 10"5 yrs), although it is well known that the luminosity

On the Connection between Mass Loss and Evolution of C-rich AGB Stars
The mass-loss properties of carbon rich AGB stars are not very well constrained at present. A variety of empirical or theoretical formulae with different parameterisations are available in the literature and the agreement between them is anything but ...

Tracing AGB Mass Loss by (Synthetic) High-Resolution IR Spectroscopy
We report on recent advances in line profile modelling of different near-infrared (NIR) molecular absorption features based on dynamic model atmospheres for pulsating and mass-losing AGB stars (Mira variables).

Searching for heavily obscured post-AGB stars and planetary nebulae
Context. The transition from the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) to the planetary nebula (PN) phase is critical in the shaping of PNe. It has been suggested that the most asymmetric PNe are the descendants of massive AGB stars.

A Possible Solution to the Mass-Loss Problem in M-type AGB Stars
Mass loss is a fundamental, observationally well-established feature of AGB stars, but many aspects of this process are not yet understood. To date, self-consistent dynamical models of dust-driven winds reproducing the observed mass-loss rates seem only ...

Calibrating the TP-AGB phase through resolved stellar populations in the Small Magellanic Cloud
The Thermally-Pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch (TP-AGB) phase is one of the most uncertain evolutionary phase of low- and intermediate-mass stars. The classical calibration based on Magellanic Clouds (MCs) clusters has proved to be unsuitable for other ...
