12C/13C Ratios and Li Abundances in Low-Mass C Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
High-resolution and high signal-to-noise-ratio spectroscopy is used to derive 12C/13C ratios from the Red System of the CN molecule at 8000 Å in several galactic low-mass C stars previously analyzed for lithium. It is found that Li-rich C stars usually have low isotopic ratios (< 15). This suggests that the Li and 13C enrichments in C stars might be produced by a similar mechanism. However, due to the large uncertainties in the abundance derivations for both Li and carbon isotope ratios, this result must be confirmed with further studies.
