Abstract
The classification of carbon stars and the nature of various species included among them are reviewed. Emphasis is given to recent results that shed light on problems such as the source of their ultraviolet opacity, how their classification is correlated with effective temperature and variability types, their mean luminosity, and their evolutionary relationship with other objects. Attention is called to the need of limiting statistical studies of carbon stars to those of type N. These include much more homogeneous objects than stars of type R.Similar Articles
