AGB stars in binaries and their progeny
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
An AGB star in a binary system is likely to pollute its companion with carbon- and s-process-rich matter. After the AGB star has faded into an unconspicuous white dwarf, the polluted companion enters the zoo of stars with chemical peculiarities. In this paper, the progeny of AGB stars in binary systems are identified among existing spectroscopic classes (Abell 35-like, binary post-AGB, WIRRing, dwarf Ba and C, subgiant CH, Ba, CH, S, yellow symbiotics) and their filiation is discussed from the properties of their eccentricity – period diagrams.
