Scientific paper

Barium stars and technetium-poor, extrinsic S stars are binary systems with a white dwarf companion, and with orbital elements similar to those of symbiotic systems. One may thus wonder whether these various families of binary systems involving red giant stars are somehow related. This question is actually twofold: (i) Do barium and binary S stars exhibit some symbiotic activity? (ii) Do symbiotic systems exhibit overabundances of s-process elements like barium and S stars? This paper reviews the current situation regarding these two questions.
