The chemical evolution of the Universe is governed by the chemical yields from stars, which
in turn are determined primarily by the initial stellar mass. Even stars as low as 0.9 M⊙ can …

We present stellar evolutionary tracks and nucleosynthetic predictions for a grid of stellar
models of low-and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars at Z= 0.001 …

We present new theoretical stellar yields and surface abundances for asymptotic giant
branch (AGB) models with a metallicity appropriate for stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud …

Lead (Pb) is predominantly produced by the slow neutron-capture process (s process) in
asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In contrast to significantly enhanced Pb abundances …

We have carried out a search for optically visible post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB)
stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). First, we selected candidates with a mid-IR …

We review the observational properties and possible carriers of the 21 and 30 μm features
seen in the spectra of evolved carbon-rich objects. The 30 μm feature is generally taken to …

We have carried out a search for optically visible post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB)
candidates in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). First, we used mid-IR observations from …

The s-process nucleosynthesis in Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars depends on the
modeling of convective boundaries. We present models and s-process simulations that …

We present a novel approach to address dust production by low-and intermediate-mass
stars. We study the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase, during which the formation of dust …

Context. This paper is part of a larger project in which we systematically study the chemical
abundances of Galactic and extragalactic post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars …
