摘要:

基于高分辨率、高信噪比的光谱,我们研究了86颗[Fe/H] <-3.0的恒星样本中的金属丰度分布函数(C_1)和碳增强贫金属(CEMP)恒星的分数,其中约32颗恒星低于[Fe/H] =-3.5。在考虑了完备性函数之后,“修正的”Fe/H并没有表现出在[Fe/H] = -3.6时突然下降的现象,而这种现象在汉堡/欧洲南方天文台最近的矮星和巨星样本中发现。相反,Fe/H平稳下降至[Fe/H] =-4.1。从“原始”样品中获得了类似的结果。当采用Beers等人和Aoki等人的CEMP定义时,我们发现低于[Fe/H] = -3.0的CEMP物体的分数分别为23 +/- 6%和32 +/- 8%。前者的价值是在公平的协议与以前的一些测量,采用比尔斯等人。标准。

英文摘要:

We examine the metallicity distribution function (MDF) and fraction of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars in a sample that includes 86 stars with [Fe/H] < -3.0, based on high-resolution, high-S/N spectroscopy, of which some 32 objects lie below [Fe/H] = -3.5. After accounting for the completeness function, the "corrected" MDF does not exhibit the sudden drop at [Fe/H] = -3.6 that was found in recent samples of dwarfs and giants from the Hamburg/ESO survey. Rather, the MDF decreases smoothly down to [Fe/H] = -4.1. Similar results are obtained from the "raw" MDF. We find the fraction of CEMP objects below [Fe/H] = -3.0 is 23 +/- 6% and 32 +/- 8% when adopting the Beers et al. and Aoki et al. CEMP definitions, respectively. The former value is in fair agreement with some previous measurements, which adopt the Beers et al. criterion.
