Difference between Asymptotic giant branch and S-type star

Asymptotic giant branch vs. S-type star

The asymptotic giant branch (AGB) is a region of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram populated by evolved cool luminous stars. An S-type star (or just S star) is a cool giant with approximately equal quantities of carbon and oxygen in its atmosphere.

Similarities between Asymptotic giant branch and S-type star

Asymptotic giant branch and S-type star have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Carbon, Carbon star, Long-period variable star, Mira variable, Oxygen, S-process, Stellar wind.

Carbon

Carbon (from carbo "coal") is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6.

Carbon star

A carbon star is typically an asymptotic giant branch star, a luminous red giant, whose atmosphere contains more carbon than oxygen; the two elements combine in the upper layers of the star, forming carbon monoxide, which consumes all the oxygen in the atmosphere, leaving carbon atoms free to form other carbon compounds, giving the star a "sooty" atmosphere and a strikingly ruby red appearance.

Long-period variable star

The descriptive term long-period variable star refers to various groups of cool luminous pulsating variable stars.

Mira variable

Mira variables ("Mira", Latin, adj. - feminine form of adjective "wonderful"), named for the prototype star Mira, are a class of pulsating variable stars characterized by very red colours, pulsation periods longer than 100 days, and amplitudes greater than one magnitude in infrared and 2.5 magnitude at visual wavelengths.

S-process

The slow neutron-capture process or s-process is a series of reactions in nuclear astrophysics that occur in stars, particularly AGB stars.

Asymptotic giant branch and S-type star Comparison

Asymptotic giant branch has 63 relations, while S-type star has 58. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 5.79% = 7 / (63 + 58).
