[0910.1086] Massive binaries as the source of abundance anomalies in globular clusters →

S.E. de Mink, O.R. Pols, N. Langer, R.G. Izzard :: Abundance anomalies observed in globular cluster stars indicate pollution with material processed by hydrogen burning. Two main sources have been suggested: asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and massive stars rotating near the break-up limit (spin stars). We propose massive binaries as an alternative source.
