Abundances and kinematics of carbon-enhanced metal

Abundances and kinematics of carbon-enhanced metal

Abstract

Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars span a wide range of stellar populations, from bona fide second-generation stars to later-forming stars that provide excellent probes of binary mass transfer and nucleosynthesis processes. These stars are of particular interest for understanding the early formation and evolution of the Galaxy. The study of CEMP stars has been hindered by the lack of a clear understanding of their origins, which has led to a variety of competing theories. Recent studies have suggested that CEMP stars may be the result of binary mass transfer, while others propose that they are the product of mergers between two or more stars. The kinematics of CEMP stars are also of great interest, as they can provide insights into the dynamics of the Galaxy and the role of binary interactions in shaping the stellar population. In this research activity, we aim to investigate the abundances and kinematics of CEMP stars in the context of binary mass transfer and nucleosynthesis processes. We will use a combination of spectroscopic and photometric data to determine the chemical composition and kinematic properties of a large sample of CEMP stars. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the origins and evolution of CEMP stars, and to shed light on the role of binary interactions in shaping the stellar population of the Galaxy.
