Abstract

We review the structural and nucleosynthetic evolution of stars in the mass range 0.8–11 M๏, focusing on the AGB and super-AGB phases. The effects of transport processes associated with rotation and overshooting are described and their impact on nucleosynthesis analyzed. We present selected observational properties of AGB stars and discuss the weaknesses and failures of current stellar modeling.
