Are some CEMP-s stars the daughters of spinstars? (2017)
Journal Article
Choplin, A., Hirschi, R., Meynet, G., & Ekström, S. (2017). Are some CEMP-s stars the daughters of spinstars?. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 607, Article L3. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201731948

Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP)-s stars are long-lived low-mass stars with a very low iron content as well as overabundances of carbon and s-elements. Their peculiar chemical pattern is often explained by pollution from an asymptotic giant branch (... Read More about Are some CEMP-s stars the daughters of spinstars?.
