The Carbon Abundance of Population II Stars

Abstract

Curve of growth analyses available to date for Population II stars have indicated that carbon is more deficient relative to the sun than iron. A refined treatment, which takes into account stratification and molecular equilibrium, shows that carbon is not more deficient than iron, assuming a solar oxygen-to-iron ratio.
