Catalog Service: SAGA extremely metal-poor stars
Description
We discuss the characteristics of known extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars in the Galaxy using the Stellar Abundances for Galactic Archaeology (SAGA) data base. We find the transition of the initial mass function to be at [Fe/H]~-2 from the viewpoint of the distribution of carbon abundance and the frequency of carbon-enhanced stars. Analyses of carbon-enhanced stars in our sample suggest that nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars can contribute to carbon enrichment in a different way depending on whether the metallicity is above or below [Fe/H]~-2.5, which is consistent with the current models of stellar evolution at low metallicity.
