Hot bottom burning in a 5 solar mass model
Abstract
This paper presents recent stellar evolutionary calculations of the Asymptotic Giant Branch evolution of a 5 solar mass model. It is found that temperatures at the base of the convective envelope reach up to almost 100 million degrees, high enough for much nucleosynthesis to occur. Some implications are discussed briefly.
