The Elemental Abundances in Bare Planetary Nebula Central Stars and the Shell Burning in AGB Stars
Open accessAbstract
We review the observed properties of extremely hot, hydrogen‐deficient post–asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of spectral type [WC] and PG1159. Their H deficiency is probably caused by a (very) late helium‐shell flash or an AGB final thermal pulse, laying bare interior stellar regions that are usually kept hidden below the hydrogen envelope. Thus, the photospheric elemental abundances of these stars allow us to draw conclusions about details of nuclear burning and mixing processes in the precursor AGB stars. We summarize the state of the art of stellar evolution models that simulate AGB evolution and the occurrence of a late He‐shell flash. We compare predicted elemental abundances to those determined by quantitative spectral analyses performed with advanced non‐LTE model atmospheres. Good qualitative and quantitative agreement is found. Future work can contribute to an even more complete picture of the nuclear processes in AGB stars.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
