Why Galaxies Care About Agb Stars (Iau S343) - A Continuing Challenge Through Cosmic Time

Spans research on AGB stars and their applications to the modelling of stellar populations and the chemical evolution of galaxies.

Sommario

1. Stellar structure and evolution to, on and past the AGB; 2. New and future observational perspectives; 3. Nucleosynthesis, mixing, and rotation; 4. Pulsation, dynamical atmospheres, and dust formation; 5. Circumstellar envelopes of AGB stars and their progeny, planetary nebulae; 6. Binarity, planets, and disks; 7. AGB stars in the cosmic matter cycle; Resolved and unresolved AGB populations; 8. Galaxy evolution, including the first AGB stars; 9. Posters.

Riassunto

Stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB stars) are prime laboratories for studying different physical and chemical processes. IAU S343 builds a bridge between research on AGB stars themselves and their applications to the modelling of stellar populations and the chemical evolution of galaxies, for a broad, interdisciplinary audience of astronomers.
