While observations and theory agree at close-to-solar metallicity, stellar models at lower metallicities overestimate the fluorine production with respect to that of heavy elements. We present F-19 nucleosynthesis results for a set of AGB models with different masses and metallicities in which magnetic buoyancy acts as the driving process for the formation of the C-13 neutron source (the so-called C-13 pocket). We find that F-19 is mainly produced as a result of nucleosynthesis involving secondary N-14 during convective thermal pulses, with a negligible contribution from the N-14 present in the C-13 pocket region. A large F-19 production is thus prevented, resulting in lower fluorine surface abundances. As a consequence, AGB stellar models with mixing induced by magnetic buoyancy at the base of the convective envelope agree well with available fluorine spectroscopic measurements at low and close-to-solar metallicity.}, organization = {German-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development I-1500-303.7/2019}, organization = {Agencia Estatal de Investigacion of the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion through the FEDER founds projects PGC2018-095317-B-C2}, publisher = {EDP Science}, keywords = {Abundances}, keywords = {AGB and post-AGB}, keywords = {Magnetic field}, keywords = {Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)}, keywords = {Carbon}, keywords = {Nuclear reactions}, keywords = {Nucleosynthesis}, keywords = {Abundances}, title = {Magnetic-buoyancy-induced mixing in AGB stars: Fluorine nucleosynthesis at different metallicities}, doi = {10.1051/0004-6361/202141173}, author = {Vescovi, D. and Abia LadrĂ³n De Guevara, Carlos Antonio}, }
