摘要:

我们提出了太阳金属丰度的渐近巨分支(AGB)模型,允许银河系AGB恒星,其距离应该很快就可以在盖亚目录的第一次发布后的观测解释。我们发现AGB的物理和化学性质的突变,发生在阈值质量点燃热底部燃烧,即$3.5M_{\odot}$。质量低于$3.5 M_{\odot}$的恒星达到C星阶段,并喷射到富含碳、氮和$^{17}O$的星际介质气体中。质量较高的对应物在大光度下演化,介于$3\times 10^4 L_{\odot}$和$10^5 L_{\odot}$之间。从大质量AGB星排出的物质显示出质子捕获核合成的印记,大量产生氮和钠,并破坏$^{12}C$和$^{18}O$。与其他研究小组的最新结果的比较进行了讨论,以评估目前的研究结果的鲁棒性。最后,我们比较了模型与最近的观测银河AGB星,概述了盖亚提供的可能性,揭示了这类物体的演化特性。

英文摘要:

We present asymptotic giant branch (AGB) models of solar metallicity, to allow the interpretation of observations of Galactic AGB stars, whose distances should be soon available after the first release of the Gaia catalogue. We find an abrupt change in the AGB physical and chemical properties, occurring at the threshold mass to ignite hot bottom burning,i.e. $3.5M_{\odot}$. Stars with mass below $3.5 M_{\odot}$ reach the C-star stage and eject into the interstellar medium gas enriched in carbon , nitrogen and $^{17}O$. The higher mass counterparts evolve at large luminosities, between $3\times 10^4 L_{\odot}$ and $10^5 L_{\odot}$. The mass expelled from the massive AGB stars shows the imprinting of proton-capture nucleosynthesis, with considerable production of nitrogen and sodium and destruction of $^{12}C$ and $^{18}O$. The comparison with the most recent results from other research groups are discussed, to evaluate the robustness of the present findings. Finally, we compare the models with recent observations of galactic AGB stars, outlining the possibility offered by Gaia to shed new light on the evolution properties of this class of objects.
