The chemical composition of the rare J-type carbon stars

Abia, Carlos · Isern, Jordi

Original · EN

Abundances of lithium, heavy elements and carbon isotope ratios have been derived in 12 J-type galactic carbon stars. The abundance analysis shows that in these stars the abundances of s-process elements with respect to the metallicity are nearly solar. Tc is not present in most of them. The Rb abundances, obtained from the resonance 7800 Å RbI line, are surprisingly low, probably due to stroong non-LTE effects. Lithium and ¹³C are found to be enhanced in all the stars. These results are used to discuss the origin of J-stars.
