Notes. Values are given at the end of the second dredge-up or dredge-out episode, at the time when surface carbon abundance reaches its maximum value, at the 20th thermal pulse of the TP-(S)AGB phase and at the end of our calculations. For the maximum Xsurf(C) entries the column labelled “stage” tells when this maximum is reached.
