Abstract

MOLINA, R. E. et al. Spectroscopic analysis of four post-AGB candidates. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2014, vol.50, n.2, pp.293-306. ISSN 0185-1101.

We have done a detailed abundance analysis of four unexplored candidate post-Asymptotic Giant Branch(AGB) stars IRAS 13110-6629, IRAS 17579-3121, IRAS 18321-1401 and IRAS 18489-0629 using high resolution spectra. We have constructed Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) for these objects using the existing photometric data combined with infrared (IR) fluxes. For all sample stars, the SEDs exhibit double peaked energy distribution with well separated IR peaks showing the presence of dusty circumstellar material. The CNO abundances indicate the production of N via CN cycling, but observed [C/Fe] indicates the mixing of carbon produced by He burning by third dredge up although C/O ratio remains less that 1. A moderate DG-effect is clearly seen for IRAS 18489-0629 and IRAS 17579-3121 while a large scatter observed in depletion plots for IRAS 18321-1401 and IRAS 13110-6629 indicate the presence of other processes affecting the observed abundance pattern.

Keywords : stars [abundances]; stars [AGB and post-AGB]; stars [evolution].
