The dC star mystery
• dC stars have typical carbon (giant) spectra
• Red dwarf stars with C/O > 1
• What is the origin of the carbon abundance?
• What are the galactic origins of dC stars?

Carbon Enhanced Metal-Poor stars
• Defined as stars with: [C/Fe]≥+0.7, [Fe/H]≤-1.0
• CEMP-s stars are polluted with slow neutron capture elements
• CEMP-s stars are also consistent with a 100% binary fraction
• Are dC stars the progenitors to CEMP-s stars?

Ongoing and future work
• Continue and complete the radial velocity survey
• Calculate the space velocities of dC stars
• Create MARCS models to measure abundances
• This can unlock secrets of the chemical history of the early Milky Way

Take home points
• dC stars are low mass stars with C/O>1
• Our radial velocity survey is consistent with a 100% binary fraction
• dC stars are possibly the progenitors to (giant) CEMP-s stars
