The Initial-Final Mass Relation of White Dwarfs: A Tool to Calibrate the Third Dredge-Up
The initial mass-final mass relationship (IFMR) of white dwarfs (WD) represents a crucial benchmark for stellar evolution models, especially for the efficiency of mixing episodes and mass loss during the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase. In this study, we argue that this relation offers the oppor...
