This symposium considered all kinds of  late-type stars showing altered compositions, the carbon stars being  simply the best-known of these. All stages of stellar evolution from  the main sequence to the ejection of a planetary nebula were  considered, with emphasis on the changes that occur on the asymptotic  giant branch. The spectroscopic properties of the photospheres and  circumstellar envelopes of chemically-peculiar red giant stars, their  origins via single-star evolution or mass transfer in binary systems,  and the methods currently used to study them were all discussed in  detail.\u003cbr\u003e  This volume includes the full texts of papers given orally at the  symposium and abstracts of the posters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792363460\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 616\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265524879500,"sku":"9780792363460","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792363460.jpg?v=1770782144","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792363460","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
