Context.Massive AGB (hereafter super-AGB or SAGB) stars ignite carbon off-center and have initial masses ranging between , the minimum initial mass for carbon ignition, and Mmas the minimum mass for the formation of an iron core collapse supernova. In this mass interval, stars more massive than will undergo an electron capture supernova (EC-SN).
