The Effect of Helium Shell Flashes on Asymptotic Giant Branch Evolution
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Abstract
Mass-loss has been incorporated into a series of evolutionary calculations of low to intermediate mass stars during Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) evolution. When helium shell flashes occur a superwind phase is a natural consequence of the mass-loss process. The structure of the stellar wind envelopes that result has been computed. The models may explain some previously curious features seen in OH/IR and CO line emission spectra.
