Table 1: Characteristic values for the VLTP, for various MTS values. Note the dispersion in born again times according to the adopted MTS value. The third column shows characteristic time for the duration of the peak of proton burning. The born-again times correspond to the time interval from the moment of maximum $T_{\rm eff}$ after the H burning (and at high luminosity) until $\log{T_{\rm eff}}=3.8$ is reached for the first time.
Table 2: Surface abundances of the models presented in Sect. 4. Abundances are taken at the moment the models reach the giant region for the first time after the VLTP. Abundances from Lawlor & Macdonald (2003) are taken from models of similar metallicity (z=0.02).
