Carbon Stars

Authors: Jeffrey Joseph Wolynski

In astronomy, carbon stars are stars which have more carbon than oxygen in their atmospheres. This is measured in spectroscopic surveys. It is also inadequate for 21st century astrophysics. It is more fitting to remove the designation of “carbon star” as being some specific type of star, and to understand that carbon increases in abundance as the star evolves, as measured against helium.
