摘要:We present a new set of low mass AGB star models having the same mass (2 M) and different
metallicities. For each metallicity we follow the evolution from the Pre Main Sequence up to the
end of the Thermally Pulsing AGB Phase. By means of an exponential decay of the convective
velocities at the inner border of the convective envelope we obtain the formation of a tiny 13C
pocket after Third Dredge Up episodes, whose extension in mass decreases along the AGB path.
Detailed pulse by pulse surface enrichments and final yields at different metallicities, computed by
using a full nuclear network coupled to the FRANEC stellar evolutionary code, are presented and
discussed. We follow the production of both light and heavy elements describing nuclear chains
responsible for their production and show new results for the synthesis of radioactive isotopes
such as 26Al and 60Fe.
