Extract

Carbon stars have always been amongst the most intriguing of stars which show grossly non-solar abundances. All such stars raise the questions:

(a) at what stage of stellar evolution does this peculiar abundance phase occur?

(b) do all stars pass through this stage?

(c) is the phase significant in the overall picture of galactic nucleosynthesis?
