Extract

The evolution of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars as a function of mass and composition has been studied by Becker and Iben (1979, 1980) for M≥3 M. The results from calculations like these may be used to provide input data for calculations of synthetic AGB star populations, as has been done by Wood and Cahn (1977), Iben (1981) and Renzini and Voli (1981).
