Difference between Dredge-up and S-type star

Dredge-up vs. S-type star

A dredge-up is a period in the evolution of a star where a surface convection zone extends down to the layers where material has undergone nuclear fusion. 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 Dredge-up and S-type star

Dredge-up and S-type star have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Asymptotic giant branch, Carbon, Carbon star, Helium flash, S-process.

Asymptotic giant branch

The asymptotic giant branch (AGB) is a region of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram populated by evolved cool luminous stars.

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.

Helium flash

A helium flash is a very brief thermal runaway nuclear fusion of large quantities of helium into carbon through the triple-alpha process in the core of low mass stars (between 0.8 solar masses and 2.0) during their red giant phase (the Sun is predicted to experience a flash 1.2 billion years after it leaves the main sequence).

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.

Dredge-up and S-type star Comparison

Dredge-up has 22 relations, while S-type star has 58. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 6.25% = 5 / (22 + 58).
