Abstract

Evolutionary tracks of 0.9M , 0.7M and 0.6M models for Population II stars have been computed in the post-red giant phase. The stars are initially composed of a helium core containing a mass fraction equal to 0.9 and of a hydrogen-rich envelope. They represent hypothetical remnants of stars after substantial mass loss in previous evolutionary phases or/and at the helium flash.

Со∂ерисанuе

В работе рассчитаны эволюционные пути сдедуюшие за σтадией красных иγантов для моделей звёзд с массами 0,9M , 0,7M и 0,6M населения П типа. Исходние модели состгят из гелиевого ядра, содержащего 90% общей массы, и водородной ободочки. Их можно считать ‘остатками’ звезд, потерявших в акте предшествующей эволюции существенную частъ общей массы.

Riassunto

È stata calcolata per modelli di stelle di 0,9M , 0,7M e 0,6M di Popolazione II l'evoluzione successiva allo stadio di gigante rossa. Inizialmente i modelli constano di un nucleo di elio contenente il 90% della massa totale e di un inviluppo idrogenico. Essi possono interpretarsi come i ‘resti’ di stelle che abbiano perso una frazione di massa considerevole in fasi evolutive precedenti, o all'innesco violento dell'elio al centro.
