Long-lived stars in GCs exhibit chemical peculiarities with respect to their halo counterparts. In particular, Na-enriched stars are identified as belonging to a 2d stellar population born from cluster material contaminated by the H-burning ashes of a 1st stellar population. Their presence and numbers in different locations of the CMDs provide important constraints on the self-enrichment scenarios. In particular, the ratio of Na-poor to Na-rich stars on the AGB has recently been found to vary strongly from cluster to cluster, while it is relatively constant on the RGB. We investigate the impact of both age and metallicity on the theoretical Na spread along the AGB within the framework of the fast rotating massive stars scenario for GC self-enrichment.

  1. Multiple populations along the asymptotic giant branch: a Gaia+APOGEE study of 22 Galactic globular clusters

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    In nine of 22 globular clusters the most extreme second-population stars are underrepresented on the AGB relative to the RGB, with anomalous stars showing even stronger AGB-manqué signatures.
