Super-AGBs are stars massive enough to ignite carbon off center and to climb the asymptotic giant branch (where they undergo thermal pulses) after core carbon exhaustion. The destiny of these stars, ONe white dwarfs or neutron stars, depends essentially on the ability of the mass loss to peel the stellar envelope before the core reaches the critical mass for electron captures to occur. Here, we focus on a super-AGB stars of 8.5 Msolar at Z=0.0001 and investigate the effects of various mass loss prescriptions. We study the interplay between mass loss and diffusive overshooting below the convective envelope. The former determines the duration of the AGB phase and the final state of the star; the latter affects the increase of the core mass and the nucleosynthesis as well.
