The barium stars are Population I G-K giants that have enhanced abundances of carbon and s-process elements, and are probably related in their peculiarities to several other carbon enhanced red-giant types such as CH, R, N, and S stars. Since the abundance anomalies in the barium stars are likely the result of mixing of processed material from deep within a stellar interior, and since they are numerous with many bright examples suitable for detailed observations, these stars provide very valuable information on nucleosynthesis, and the advanced stages of stellar evolution. A clue to the origin of the anomalous abundances in the barium stars is the recent discovery that they are likely all members of binary systems.
