Notes. Models marked with a star (★) experience proton-ingestion episodes. Thermal pulses gradually decrease in intensity and vanish in the models marked with a club symbol (♣). In these cases models fail to converge while their convective envelopes have very high masses (≳3 M), and thus their fates are unknown (see text for details). Mini corresponds to the initial mass. NTP is the number of thermal pulses and, in parenthesis, the number of proton-ingestion episodes. τTP-(S)AGB, and ΔtIP are, respectively, the duration of the TP-(S)AGB (given from the first thermal pulse until the end of our computations), and the interpulse period. Mc, ini, Mc, f and Menv, f are the masses of the H-exhausted cores prior to the TP-(S)AGB, the masses of the H-exhausted cores, and the remnant envelopes at the end of the TP-(S)AGB. ⟨THeBS⟩, ⟨THBS⟩, ⟨TBCE⟩ are the temperatures at the times of maximum luminosity for each pulse, given at the centre of the He-burning shell, at the centre of the H-burning shell, and at the base of the convective envelope, and averaged over the number of thermal pulses in each sequence. is the total mass dredged-up ⟨λ⟩ is averaged over the number of thermal pulses in each case, and ⟨wind⟩ is the average mass-loss rates due to winds, that is, the envelope mass lost over the duration of the (S)AGB phase.
