Winds from Low Mass Stars: impact on the ISM
A large fraction of all stars, after experiencing heavy winds at the end of the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase, leave behind a core that is below the Chandrasekhar mass limit. This core eventually photoionizes the stellar ejecta giving birth to a planetary nebula (PN). PN and AGB stars are therefore the remnants of stars that through their
