Abstract:Abstract. We show that the peculiar surface abundance patterns of Carbon Enhanced Metal Poor (CEMP) stars has been inherited from material having been processed by H-and Heburning phases in a previous generation of stars (hereafter called the "Source Stars"). In this previous generation, some mixing must have occurred between the He-and the H-burning regions in order to explain the high observed abundances of nitrogen. In addition, it is necessary to postulate that a very small fraction of the carbon-oxygen co… Show more
