Astrophysics and Space Science Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A brief review is given of some of the recent SAAO observational programmes concerning various types of Hydrogen-deficient stars with some attempt to relate this work to general research in the field. The review covers R Coronæ Borealis (RCB) stars, Hydrogen-deficient Carbon (HdC) stars, and Extreme Helium (EHe) stars in the Carbon-rich group and AM CVn stars and the (apparently) unique star V652 Her in the Carbon-normal group.
