Diffusion in hot subdwarf progenitors from the common envelope channel

Diffusion of elements in the atmosphere of a star can drastically affect its surface composition, sometimes leading to unusual mixtures. These chemically peculiar stars can be identified fromthe presence of unusual lines in their spectra. Some hot subdwarf stars show extraordinary abundances of elem...
