Abstract:
The abundance patterns of the most metal-poor stars in the Galactic
halo and small dwarf galaxies provide us with a wealth of information
about the early Universe. In particular, these old survivors allow us
to study the nature of the first stars and supernovae, the relevant
nucleosynthesis processes responsible for the formation and evolution
of the elements, early star- and galaxy formation processes, as well
as the assembly process of the stellar halo from dwarf galaxies a long
time ago. This review presents the current state of the field of
"stellar archaeology" -- the diverse use of metal-poor stars to
explore the high-redshift Universe and its constituents. In
particular, the conditions for early star formation are discussed, how
these ultimately led to a chemical evolution, and what the role of the
most iron-poor stars is for learning about Population III supernovae
yields. Rapid neutron-capture signatures found in metal-poor stars can
be used to obtain stellar ages, but also to constrain this complex
nucleosynthesis process with observational measurements. Moreover,
chemical abundances of extremely metal-poor stars in different types
of dwarf galaxies can be used to infer details on the formation
scenario of the halo and the role of dwarf galaxies as Galactic
building blocks. I conclude with an outlook as to where this field may
be heading within the next decade. A table of 1000 metal-poor stars
and their abundances as collected from the literature is provided in
electronic format.
Description:
All tables contain all the stars collected from the literature
studies. However, they do contain a significant number of duplicates
because many studies observe for example the same standard stars.
