1 Calibrating the role of TP-AGB stars in the cosmic matter cycle Paola Marigo Department of Physics and Astronomy G. Galilei University of Padova, Italy Why Galaxies Care about AGB Stars III. University of Vienna July 29, 2014
2 OUTLINE 1. The TP-AGB star conundrum in galaxy models up to high redshift. 2. The need for a physically sound calibration of the TP-AGB over the age-metallicity plane. 3. Magellanic Cloud clusters as classical calibrators and insidious problems. 4. Magellanic Cloud clusters as novel and more powerful calibration tools. 5. Moving beyond the MC clusters: excellent quality data for resolved AGB are available to be fully exploited! 6. A few steps along calibration cycle.

9 We need to calibrate the contribution of TP-AGB stars over the age-metallicity plane Nuclear fuel L(t)dd = integrated light No carbon stars at old ages and high metallicity What are the precise limits? How efficient is the third dredge-up? What is the minimum mass for the onset of hot-bottom burning? TP-AGB is maximum at ages 10 9 yr What is the exact peak amplitude? How does it depend on metallicity? How long is the TP-AGB lifetime (Mi,Zi)? What is the rate of mass (gas and dust) injection from AGB stars?
10 I. MAGELLANIC CLOUD CLUSTERS AS CLASSICAL TP- AGB CALIBRATORS: Pioneer work Frogel, Mould & Blanco 1990 Fuel Consumption Method AGB luminosities nuclear fuel Stellar Isochrone Method AGB star counts lifetimes Integrated colors Maraston 1998, 2005 Girardi & Marigo 2007 Noel et al. 2013
11 TP-AGB calibrations on MC clusters seem not to work well for other external galaxies EPS model based on Maraston 2005 TP- AGB models overestimate the SEDs in the IR of high-z post star-burst galaxies (Kriek et al 2013, Zibetti et al. 2013) Nearby dwarf galaxies with HST : Marigo & Girardi 2007 TP-AGB models show an average excess: 40% in the AGB star counts factor of 2 in the integrated near-ir flux RGB + AGB stars responsible for 21% + 17% of the integrated flux emitted by galaxies in the near IR (Melbourne et al. 2012, ApJ, 748, 47)
12 Girardi et al. 2013, ApJ, 777, 142 The peak of TP-AGB contribution has been likely overestimated due to an AGB boosting effect at ages 1.6 Gyr (M TO 1.7 M ) Fuel Consumption Method AGB luminosities nuclear fuel Stellar Isochrone Method AGB star counts lifetimes Integrated colors Maraston 1998, 2005 Girardi & Marigo 2007 Noel, Greggio, Renzini, et al. 2013

14 The insidious TP-AGB boosting A triple TP-AGB develops at an age of 1.65 Gyr! Reason: abrupt change in core He-burning lifetimes close to the ciritical mass M HeF (degenerate/non degenerate He cores) Girardi et al. 2013, ApJ, 777, 142

28 II. The core mass growth depends on: b) efficiency of the third dredge-up Reduction of the core mass O.Pols 2 M, Z=0.02 The efficiency λ = Δm du Δm H is poorly known from theory General trend: the third dredge-up goes deeper at M and Z

36 Take away Classical calibration on MC clusters: TP-AGB likely overestimated due to a boosting at ages aroung 1.7 Gyr. Complete revision needed. Novel and extensive calibration on MC clusters: wealth of additional information (long-period variability, chemical abundances, mass loss). Good constraints of the TP-AGB core mass growth and fuel: accurate and homogeneous initial-final mass relation data. Calibration beyond the MC clusters: unprecedented high-quality data in other nearby galaxies to probe unexplored regions of the age-metallicity plane (very low-and supersolar metallicities). The «island» of TP-AGB stars: stronger TP-AGB contribution at intermediate ages ( 1 Gyr) and MC solar metallicities (ongoing calibration).
