Scientific paper

All five gases in interstellar silicon carbide grains have grossly nonsolar isotopic and elemental abundances that vary with grain size but are strikingly similar to calculated values for the helium-burning shell of low-mass carbon stars. Apparently these grains formed in carbon-star envelopes, and were impregnated with noble gas ions from a stellar wind. Meteoritic SiC provides a detailed record of nuclear and chemical processes in carbon stars.
