A.

The final helium flash LTP is shown to occur in post--AGB stars with initial masses $1.3M_\\odot\\le M_0\\le 1.32M_\\odot$ for the overshooting parameter $f=0.016$. In the case of more effective overshooting ($f=0.018$) the final helium flash occurs at initial masses $1.28M_\\odot\\le M_0\\le 1.3M_\\odot$. Fivefold variations of the parameter responsible for the mass loss rate during the post--AGB stage do not affect occurrence of the final helium flash but lead to perceptible changes of the evolutionary time. Selected models of two evolutionary sequences with initial mass $M_0 = 1.3M_\\odot$ computed with overshooting parameters $f=0.016$ and $f=0.018$ were used as initial conditions in solution of the equations of hydrodynamics describing radial oscillations of stars on the stage of the final helium flash at effective temperatures less than $10^4$ K. The maximum pulsation period $\\Pi=117$ day determined for the evolutionary sequence $M_0=1.3M_\\odot$, $f=0.016$ is in a good agreement with observational estimates of the period of FG Sge. The mass, the radius and the effective temperature of the star are $M=0.565M_\\odot$, $R=126R_\\odot$ and $T_\\mathrm{eff}=4445$ K, respectively. At the same time the average period change rate of FG Sge from 1960 to 1990 is nearly three time larger than its theoretical estimate.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-09-10T14:06:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "radial pulsations", "initial mass", "final helium flash ltp", "final helium flash occurs", "fg sge" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
