Eehumm!??
[edit]Did I really create this article? OK, it's content seems OK, AFAIK. But the name? It should either have been C-H with a hyphen, or less accurately, Carbon-Hydrogen star, which probably is slightly incorrect. ... said: Rursus (Bork, Bork!) 22:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Many journal articles just use "CH star", so I think it's probably okay this way.—RJH (talk) 18:35, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- It is "CH". Not "C-H" or "Carbon-Hydrogen". It is a radical consisting only of a hydrogen and carbon atom, more formally called called either Methylidyne or Hydridocarbon although those terms are almost never seen in astronomy or spectroscopy. So please don't any grammar zealots come along and start changing the name without bothering to understand the term. It isn't H2-O and it isn't Na-Cl, so it isn't H-C.
