Life on the MS Leaving the main sequence L M 3 (rather 3.5) nuclear timescale: t ms ɛmc 2 /L M 2 radiative cores: shell-burning, onion-like composition convective cores: shells are mixed, chemically homogeneous conv. zone convective core: all H in the core converted into He; convective core grows, hence t ms t nucl radiative core: H burnt only in the very center of the radiative core where nuclear reactions take place; t ms < t nucl ; Complication: mass loss P.

15 9 Evolution from the Main-Sequence 3. The red giant phase The onset of core collapse End of MS: H converted into He; inert He accumulates He core is isothermal and radiative (no nuclear energy prod.) Mass of the He core grows (H shell-burning) Upper limit of the He-core (Schönberg-Chandrasekhar limit): M c /M 0.37(µ env /µ core ) 2 Beyond the limit, hydrostatic eq. of the core is impossible µ env /µ core 0.6/1.34: M c /M 0.1 M c > 0.1M: core collapses Valid for M > 2M ; smaller mass stars become degenerate before it reaches the S-C limit P. Hily-Blant (Master PFN) Stellar structure and evolution / 159
16 9 Evolution from the Main-Sequence 3. The red giant phase The sub-giant branch Collapse of core: no longer isothermal; heat from gravitational collapse; core contracts on KH timescale (time to restore hydro. eq.) T c increases and also in surroundings: H-burning accelerates (ind. of collapse) thermal equilibrium is lost (L nuc is too high) Virial for hydrost. eq.: Ω + 2U = 0 Moreover: Ω + U = L nuc L so that Ω/2 = L nuc L > 0 Ω GM 2 /R, U M T : Ω increases, U decreases R increases, T decreases Envelope expands Star moves to the right and up P.

Helium burning phase The helium burning phase (low mass) Temp. of isothermal core: T 3 c µ 4 M 2 c ρ env /µ env On the RG branch: ρ e decreases, M c increases, T c rises M c reaches the S-C limit: gravitational contraction of the core, heating up further During RG phase: T c increases P.

Hily-Blant (Master PFN) Stellar structure and evolution / 159
24 9 Evolution from the Main-Sequence 4.

25 9 Evolution from the Main-Sequence 4. Helium burning phase Low-mass: 1 1.8M core becomes e -degenerate before S-C limit T c increases (P e ind. of T ) Runaway: T c further increases until degeneracy is lost Core expands violently (few sec after He ignition): explosive Helium flash Outer layers contract and heat up Move down and left on KH timescale Star settles in a new state: He burning in non-degenerate core P.

28 9 Evolution from the Main-Sequence 5. Asymptotic Giant Branch and Planetary Nebulae Asymptotic Giant Branch He burning ends in the core: core contracts He burning shifts outwards: envelope expands Star moves to the right (lower T eff ) Stops at 4000 K (fully convective Hayashi limit): can not cool down further R increases and L rises Star goes up along the AGB (Second dredge-up: He and N at the surface) P.
