We investigate the relationship between R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars and hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) stars by measuring precise O-16/O-18 ratios for five cool RCB stars. The O-16/O-18 ratios are derived by spectrum synthesis from high-resolution (R similar to 50,000) K-band spectra. Lower limits to the O-16/O-17 and N-14/N-15 ratios as well as Na and S abundances (when possible) are also given. RCB stars in our sample generally display less O-18 than HdC stars-the derived O-16/O-18 ratios… CONTINUE READING
