Fe-deficiency in H-deficient post-AGB stars due to n-capture nucleosynthesis
Falk Herwig, Maria Lugaro, Klaus Werner
Abstract
H-deficient post-AGB objects, e.g. PG1159 type star K1-16 and born-again AGB star Sakurai's object, have been reported to be significantly iron-deficient. We find that the iron deficiencies expected due to neutron-capture nucleosynthesis during either the progenitor AGB evolution and/or the neutron burst that occurs as a result of the rapid burning of protons during a post-AGB He-flash are generally in line with observations.
