Abstract

Curve of growth analyses available to date for Population II stars have indicated that carbon is more deficient relative to the sun than iron. A refined treatment, which takes into account stratification and molecular equilibrium, shows that carbon is not more deficient than iron, assuming a solar oxygen-to-iron ratio.
