Their chemical compositions place the pair among the majority class of RCBs. ASAS-RCB-10 is one of the most N-poor majority RCBs with an above average O abundance. Relative to ASAS-RCB-10, ASAS-RCB-8 is H poor by 1.6 dex, O-poor by 0.7 dex but N-rich by 0.8 dex suggesting a higher contamination by CNO-cycled material.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-07-05T09:21:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coronae borealis stars", "abundance analyses", "n-poor majority rcbs", "higher contamination", "model atmospheres" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
