| Abstract: |
Carbon stars in the Galaxy do not constitute a single family, but may
be divided over several types with distinctive spectroscopic and
photometric properties. A subtype of the N stars, characterised by
high velocities and weak CN bands, may have been captured by the
Milky Way from a cannibalised dwarf galaxy. |
