Abstract

It is now widely recognised that peculiar red giants such as S stars are overgrown with “extrinsic” stars. Those binary masqueraders share the same abundance peculiarities as the prototypes of their spectral family (as judged from low-resolution spectra), but have a totally different evolutionary history (chemical peculiarities originating from mass transfer across a binary system instead of internal nucleosynthesis). Some characteristic properties of these extrinsic stars are investigated and the importance of un-masking them in stellar population studies is stressed.
