Description
AGB stars, in particular those of carbon types, are excellent laboratories to constraint the theory of stellar structure, evolution and nucleosynthesis. Despite the uncertainties still existing in the chemical analysis of these stars, the determination of the abundances of several key species in their atmospheres (lithium, s-elements, carbon and magnesium isotopic ratios etc.) is an useful tool to test these theories and the mixing processes during the AGB phase. This contribution briefly review some recent advances on this subject.

    Ultra-deep imaging of M33: exploring its stellar halo with broad band imaging for the first time
    The star counting technique by the PAndAS survey reveals that M33 is undergoing a tidal interaction with its massive neighbor, M31. Due to this interaction, the stellar halo of M33 shows faint tidal features. These features are only visible at extremely low surface brightness levels (i.e. >30 mag/arcsec^2). For this reason, M33 is a perfect test
