We describe our first attempt at modelling nucleosynthesis in massive AGB stars which have undergone core carbon burning, the super-AGB stars. We fit a synthetic model to detailed stellar evolution models in the mass range 9<=M/Msun<=11.5 (Z=0.02), and extrapolate these fits to the end of the AGB. We determine the number of thermal pulses and AGB lifetime as a function of mass and mass-loss prescription. Our preliminary nucleosynthesis calculations show that, for a reasonable mass-loss rate, the effect of hot-bottom burning in super-AGB stars on the integrated yield of a stellar population is not large. There are many uncertainties, such as mass-loss and convective overshooting, which prevent accurate yield calculations. However, as potential progenitors of electron-capture supernovae, these stars may contribute 7% of non-type-Ia supernovae.
Based on evolutionary computations of 90 stellar models, we have analysed the impact of initial composition and core overshooting on the post-He-burning evolution and the associated nucleosynthesis of Super-AGB stars, pointing particular attention on
Stars of $sim$ 8 - 10 $M_{odot}$ on the main-sequence form strongly electron-degenerate O+Ne+Mg core and become super-AGB stars. If such an O+Ne+Mg core grows to 1.38 $M_odot$, electron captures on $^{20}$Ne$(e, u_e)^{20}$F$(e, u_e)^{20}$O take place
Abridged: Getting a better understanding of the evolution and nucleosynthetic yields of the most metal-poor stars (appr. Z<=10^-5) is critical because they are part of the big picture of the history of the primitive Universe. Yet many of the remainin
The evolution of a star of initial mass 9 M_s, and Z = 0.02 in a Close Binary System is followed in the presence of different mass companions in order to study their influence on the final evolutionary stages and, in particular, on the structure and
We present new synthetic models of the TP-AGB evolution. They are computed for 7 values of initial metal content (Z from 0.0001 to 0.03) and for initial masses between 0.5 and 5.0 Msun, thus extending the low- and intermediate-mass tracks of Girardi
