52° CONGRESSO SAIT TERAMO, MAGGIO 2008 The s-nucleosynthesis process in massive AGB and Super-AGB stars M.L. Pumo CSFNSM - Università di Catania & INAF - Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania In collaboration with: P. Ventura, F. Dantona & R.A. Zappalà

Super-AGB stars & the ZAMS M up M mas M ZAMS (~ 7-9M ) (~ 11-13M ) AGB: low-mass & intermediate-mass Super-AGB massive M ZAMS < M up : unable to ignite core C-burn. M ZAMS M mas : able to evolve through all nuclear burning stages

After H- & He-burn. partial degenerate CO core C-burn. (off-centre) through a flash Super-AGB: evolution After flash: development of a flame that reaches the stellar centre, transforming the CO core into a NeO mixture C-burn. proceeds outside the core before extinguishing, just leaving H- & He-burn. shell (e.g. Garcia-Berro & Iben 1994 ApJ; Pumo & Siess 2007, ASPCS )

Structure is similar to the one of AGB stars, except that their cores are: more massive (1-1.37M ) made of Ne (15-30%) and O (50-70%) After completion of C-burn., the core mass increases due to the H-He double burn. shell AGB Super-AGB

M M f core =M EC ~ 1.37 M M EC M f core < M EC collapsing electron captures supernovae Neutron star NeO White Dwarf Final fate (Nomoto, 1984, ApJ)

Interplay between mass loss and core growth 1.37 M M end,2 M end,1 M end,2 NeO White Dwarf M end,1 Neutron Star mass loss so efficient envelop is lost before the core has grown above ~ 1.37 M The minimum initial mass for the formation of a neutron star is usually referred to as M N (transition NeO WD / EC SN) (e.g. Woosley et al. 2002, ARA&A)

Existence of 2 final evolutionary channels (e.g. Siess 2007; Pumo 2007, Pumo & Siess 2007, Poelarends et al. 2008) Adapted from Pumo, 2006, PhD thesis, Catania Univ. the less massive Super-AGBs NeO WD the most massive Super-AGBs SN EC Mass distr. of WDs Neon-novae Sub-luminous Type II SNe Self-Enrichment in GCs Trans-iron nucleosynthesis

Self-Enrichment in GCs & the Super-AGB stars No negligible fraction of stars (10-20%) having helium content Y 0.35 Blue MSs in Cen and NGC 2808 (Piotto et al. 2005, 2007) Peculiar HB morphology in NGC 6441 and NGC 6388 (Caloi & DAntona 2007) High helium population originated from the helium-rich ejecta of a previous stellar generation Progenitors having the required high helium abundance in their ejecta

In case of no evidence for a global CNO enrichment, massive Super-AGBs evolve into EC SNe. high number of neutron stars (up to ~10 3 ), thanks to supernova natal kicks low enough not to be ejected by the GC (e.g. Ivanova et al. 2008) Pumo, DAntona & Ventura ApJ, 672, L25, 2008 Super-AGBs may be progenitors

Trans-iron nucleosynthesis: s-process in massive AGB & Super-AGB stars Main neutron source: 22 Ne(α, n) 25 Mg reaction Astrophysical environment: thermally pulsing AGB phase (e.g. Ritossa et al. 1996, Abia et al. 2001, Busso et al. 2001, Siess & Pumo 2006) Efficiency is still uncertain

Preliminary results (for a M=6M Z=0.02 model) Production of 87 Rb is advantaged compared to the one of other nearby elements, such as Zr, Y and Sr. Rubidium–rich AGB stars in our galaxy (Garcia-Hernandez et al, Nature, 2006) The work is in progress: other studies are needed to confirm our hypothesis!
