Abstract
The intermediate mass stars in their final stage of evolution as red giants can exhibit the effects of interesting astrophysical processes like the mixing to the stellar photosphere of products of the nucleosynthesis in their interior i.e carbon stars. In recent years observational studies of late type giants i.e M and C type stars in the Magellanic Clouds and theoretical investigations of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) have allowed a valuable comparison between theoretical predictions and observations for this final evolutionary stage of low and intermediate mass stars.
