POSTAGBINGALAXIES Evolved stars: clues to the chemical evolution of galaxies
Coordinator: LATVIJAS UNIVERSITATE (LV)
The late stages in the evolution of intermediate-mass stars (Asymptotic Giant Branch - AGB and post-AGB) are of the greatest importance for the chemical evolution of galaxies. Pulsations, dust formation, and mass loss through massive stellar winds are characteristic phenomena of AGB stars. Stellar pulsations cause waves, which travel into the outer layers of the atmosphere and develop shocks, compressing matter to such a high density that dust formation occurs and mass loss is triggered. However, the nature of the mass loss is still not well understood. The chemistry of gas and dust lost by A…
About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)
The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.
Co-funding: the European Union contributes €81k toward a total project budget of €86k — a funding rate of 95%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2011-04-01 to 2015-03-31.
