Testing a Modified Mixing-Length Theory: Comparison to the Pulsation of AGB Stars

Peter Wood, W David Arnett

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

    Abstract

    Pulsation models of AGB stars have been created with standard mixinglength theory and with a modified version described by Arnett et al. (2010). The modi-fied version of the mixing-length theory gives a better reproduction of the stability and periods of AGB stars than the standard theory.
