An Update on the OZ Project

چکیده
We give an update on our OZ Survey to find more extremely metal poor (EMP) stars with [Fe/H] < —3 dex through mining the database of the Hamburg/ESO Survey. We present the most extreme such stars we have found from -̂ 1550 moderate resolution follow up spectra. One of these, HE1424—0241, has highly anomalous abundance ratios not seen in any previously known halo giant, with very deficient Si, moderately deficient Ca and Ti, highly enhanced Mn and Co, and low C, all with respect to Fe. We suggest a SNII where the nucleosynthetic yield for explosive a—burning nuclei was very low compared to that for the hydrostatic a—burning element Mg, which is normal in this star relative to Fe. A second, less extreme, outlier star with high [Sc/Fe] has also been found. We examine the extremely metal-poor tail of the HES metallicity distribution function (MDF). We suggest on the basis of comparison of our high resolution detailed abundance analyses with [Fe/H](HES) for stars in our sample that the MDF inferred from follow up spectra of the HES sample of candidate EMP stars is heavily contaminated for [Fe/H](HES) < —3 dex; many of the supposed EMP stars below that metallicity are of substantially higher Fe-metallicity, including most of the very C-rich stars, or are spurious objects.
