Description

The chemical analysis of the photospheres of M stars, S stars, and N stars is addressed. Methodological aspects are discussed, emphasizing the calculation and use of model atmospheres and synthetic spectra. Abundance determinations of metals from atomic lines is reviewed, and the derivation of abundances of lithium, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen is discussed. Estimates of isotopic ratios are considered
