Descripción
We explore the formation and evolution of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB
white dwarf stars by computing the complete evolution of an initially
2.7 Msun star from the ZAMS through the thermally pulsing
and mass-loss phases, the born-again stage to the white dwarf stage.
A time-dependent scheme for the simultaneous treatment of abundance
changes caused by nuclear reactions, diffusive overshooting, salt
fingers and convection is considered. In addition, microscopic element
diffusion is taken into account during the white dwarf
evolution. Relevant aspects for PG 1159 stars and DB evolution are
studied in the frame of these new evolutionary models. The scope of
the calculations is extended to the domain of the helium-rich,
carbon-contaminated DQ white dwarfs with the aim of exploring the
plausibility of the evolutionary connection PG 1159-DB-DQ.
