Scientific paper

It has been suggested that if stars accrete interstellar material in significant quantities, the well-known scarcity of metal-poor G dwarfs may result from surface contamination. However, the accretion rate required to match the abundance distribution of G dwarfs in a simple theory of galactic enrichment would leave a large number of M dwarfs metal deficient, as the deep convective envelopes of these stars are not so easily contaminated. Current evidence on the abundance distribution of M dwarfs runs contrary to this prediction.
