Thermohaline mixing and the photospheric composition of low-mass giant stars

Aims. By means of numerical simulations and different recipes, we test the efficiency of thermohaline mixing as a process to alter the surface abundances in low-mass giant stars. Methods. We compute full evolutionary sequences of red giant branch stars close to the luminosity bump by including state...
