Paper: Cosmic Abundances: The Impact of Stellar Duplicity

Abstract: The mass-transfer scenario links chemical peculiarities with stellar duplicity for an increasing number of stellar classes (classical and dwarf barium stars, subgiant and giant CH stars, S stars without technetium, yellow symbiotic stars, WIRRing stars, Abell-35-like nuclei of planetary nebulae . . .). Despite these successes, the mass-transfer scenario still faces several problems: What is the mass-transfer mode? Why orbital elements of dwarf barium stars do not fully match those of the classical barium stars? What is the origin of the few nonbinary stars among dwarf barium stars?
