The Chemical Composition of Cool Stars: II - The Hydrogen Deficient Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The chemical composition of the R Coronae Borealis and cool hydrogen deficient carbon stars is reviewed. Similarities and differences between these stars and the hot He stars are noted. Proposed origins for the hydrogen deficient stars are sketched. Recent claims that normal (spectral type N) cool carbon stars are hydrogen deficient are shown to be unfounded. Attention is drawn to the curious case of pop. II variables (RV Tauri, W Virginis, and RR Lyrae stars) whose atmospheres show striking deficiencies of heavy elements and may be hydrogen deficient.
