Chemical yields from low- and intermediate-mass stars

Abstract

We present new sets of chemical yields from low- and intermediate-mass stars with 0.8 Msun <= M <= Mup ~ 5 Msun, and three choices of the metallicity, Z=0.02, Z=0.008, and Z=0.004 (Marigo 2000, in preparation). These are then compared with the yields calculated by other authors on the basis of different model prescriptions, and basic observational constraints which should be reproduced.
