The Most Metal-Poor Stars. III. The Metallicity Distribution Function and CEMP Fraction

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 signal-to-noise spectroscopy, of which some 32 objects lie below [Fe/H] = –3.5. After accounting for th...
