Final stages of AGB evolution

Extract
The final stages of AGB evolution still remain difficult to study theoretically. From the stellar point of view, the main theoretical problems are the evolution of the stars (involving shell flashes and dredge-up of carbon and s-process elements), pulsation, and the production of mass loss by pulsation and radiation pressure on grains. In this paper I will discuss these topics. A recent review concentrating more on the circumstellar aspects of AGB evolution is given by Habing (1996).
