Carbon- and Oxygen-Rich Progenitors of Planetary Nebulae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Extract
This review concerns stars on the Asymptotic Giant Branch that are about to develop into planetary nebulae (=PNe). They are still termed “stars”, and properly so, and yet they have already, in statu nascendi, the structure of a PN. There are two different kinds: oxygen-rich stars (spectral class: M) and carbon-rich stars (spectral class: C).
