  12. Base of the convective envelope H-burning shell Depth of the convective envelopeas a function of time 1M Z=0.02

  15. Salted envelope C-red N-blue O-black

  16. Low mass stars synthesis 3He crisis Clue for extramix ?

  17. He ignition in degenerate core The high density developed near the center induces the production of thermal neutrinos by plasma Oscillations and the maximum temperature move off center

  18. He-flashes

  20. Convective envelope 5 M Z=0.02 Y=0.28 H 4He,14N 12C,16O Early-AGB: the second dredge up

  21. Convective envelope H-shell He-shell CO core The onset of the thermal pulses The E-AGB terminates when the H shell re-ignites, while the He shell dies down. When the mass of the intershell region exceeds a certain critical value, the He shell suffers a thermal instability.

  22. H-Burning luminosity He-Burning luminosity Evolution of TP stars: 5 M

  23. Thermal instability & nuclear runaway Temperature evolution in the intershell zone Nuclear energy production in the intershell zone

  24. Third dredge up M p TP 13C pocket TP time Third dredge up and 13C pocket After the thermal pulse the envelope expands and cools down. The H shell becomes inactive and the convective envelope can penetrate the H/He discontinuity, bringing to the surface the ashes of the He burning: 12C and s-elements. 1)Few protons diffuse below the base of the convective envelope, where about 20% of the mass is made of carbon. 2)When the H shell re-ignites, a 13C pocket is produced by the 12C+p reaction. 3) During the interpulse, the temperature in the pocket becomes larger than 90x106 K and neutrons are realized by the 13C+a reaction.

  27. The formation of the 13C pocket In this model, an exponential decay of the convective velocity has been assumed below the convectively unstable zone. H black 13C red 12C green 14N blue
