The absolute carbon abundance (A(C)) as a function of [Fe/H] for the five CEMP stars compared to a literature sample from the local Milky Way halo where the [Ba/Fe] abundances are also measured. The literature sample is separated by [Ba/Fe], where stars with [Ba/Fe] > 1 are labeled CEMP-s stars and are shown in blue, while stars with [Ba/Fe] ≤ 0 are labeled CEMP-no and are shown in red. The black dashed line indicates [C/Fe] = 0.7. The gray dashed lines indicate the classification system of CEMP introduced by J. Yoon et al. (2016), where Group I is the top-right section and comprises mainly CEMP-s, while Group II and II are the bottom and top-left sections and are mainly CEMP-no stars.
