CARBON-ENHANCED METAL-POOR STAR FREQUENCIES IN THE GALAXY: CORRECTIONS FOR THE EFFECT OF EVOLUTIONARY STATUS ON CARBON ABUNDANCES

We revisit the observed frequencies of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars as a function of the metallicity in the Galaxy, using data from the literature with available high-resolution spectroscopy. Our analysis excludes stars exhibiting clear overabundances of neutron-capture elements and takes...
