The Barium Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Abstract
The Barium stars are reviewed in terms of their known binary nature and their quantitative abundance peculiarities. It is concluded that the most likely explanation of the 12C and s-process overabundances observed in the Barium stars is mass transfer from a companion, which is now a white dwarf, but was once a 4He-burning thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch star.
