Key Highlights
- Metal-poor stars that show enhancement of carbon are technically called Carbon Enhanced Metal Poor (CEMP) stars.
- These stars were formed from the ejected material of the first stars that formed after the Big Bang and carry the chemical imprints of early Galactic chemical evolution.
