  • Are C60 Molecules Detectable in Circumstellar Shells of R Coronae Borealis Stars? 
    García-Hernández, D. A; Kameswara Rao, N; Lambert, D. L (IOP Publishing, 2011-03-10)
    The hydrogen-poor, helium-rich, and carbon-rich character of the gas around R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars has been suggested to be a site for formation of C60 molecules. This suggestion is not supported by observations ...
