Two Populations of Carbon-enhanced Metal-poor Stars in the Disk System of the Milky Way
2021
We present a chemo-dynamical analysis of low-resolution ($R \sim 1300$) spectroscopy of stars from the AAOmega Evolution of Galactic Structure (AEGIS) survey, focusing on two key populations of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars within the disk system of the Milky Way: a mildly prograde population ($L_z 1000\,$kpc$\,$km$\,$s$^{-1}$) population. Based on their chemical and kinematic characteristics, and on comparisons with similar populations found in the recent literature, we tentatively associate the former with an ex-situ inner-halo population originating from either the $Gaia$ Sausage or $Gaia$-Enceladus. The latter population is linked to the metal-weak thick-disk (MWTD). We discuss their implications in the context of the formation history of the Milky Way.
