Conclusion

RCB stars offer the astronomer a wealth of information, from their spectacular fadings, through their pulsations and dust shells, to the nuclear waste on their surfaces that traces previous evolution. Even with all of these data, RCBs retain much of their original mystery. This review has attempted to give an accurate impression of their overall properties and an insight into some of the physical processes responsible for them. However, the author is generall more familiar with the physics of stellar interiors and hot star atmospheres. Inevitably there will be omissions of important data and contributors, for which the author apologises. The 200-year history of RCB research is wide-ranging and far from over. The task of future reviewers is unlikely to be easier - but our fascination with some of the most unusual stars in the sky is unlikely to diminish.
