Theoretical Abundances in Planetaries
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 September 2016
Extract
A satisfactory model of the formation of planetaries should explain the observations indicating that nitrogen and carbon in planetaries are overabundant by about one order of magnitude. These large abundances imply that substantial fractions of the galactic nitrogen and carbon originate from planetaries; one should then also investigate if the low value of the ratio C13/C12 measured on the Earth is compatible with an assumed dominant rate of the CNO cycle in the formation of planetaries.
