Title: Constraining the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch phase with resolved stellar populations in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Abstract

The thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) experienced by low- andintermediate-mass stars is one of the most uncertain phases of stellar evolution and themodels need to be calibrated with the aid of observations. To this purpose, we couplehigh-quality observations of resolved stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) withdetailed stellar population synthesis simulations computed with theTRILEGALcode.The strength of our approach relies on the detailed spatially-resolved star formationhistory of the SMC, derived from the deep near-infrared photometry of the VISTAsurvey of the Magellanic Clouds, as well as on the capability to quickly and accuratelyexplore a wide variety of parameters and effects with theCOLIBRIcode for the TP-AGB evolution. Adopting a well-characterized set of observations – star counts andluminosity functions – we set up a calibration cycle along which we iteratively changea few key parameters of the TP-AGB models until we eventually reach a good fit tothe observations. Our work leads to identify two best-fitting models that mainly differin the efficiencies of the third dredge-up and mass loss in TP-AGB stars with initialmasses larger than about 3 M. On the basis of these calibrated models we providea full characterization of the TP-AGB stellar population in the SMC in terms of stel-lar parameters (initial masses,more » C/O ratios, carbon excess, mass-loss rates). Extensivetables of isochrones including these improved models are publicly available« less
