We use chemically anomalous carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars to investigate the binary properties of very metal-poor stars in the inner Galaxy. One of the main sub-classes of CEMP stars are those enhanced in s-process elements, these are expected to form through binary interaction with a former AGB companion (analogous to Ba- and CH-stars at higher metallicities). In the Galactic halo, the fraction of CEMP-s stars among very metal-poor (-3.0 < [Fe/H] < -2.0) field stars is ~10%. In absence of e.g. large-scale radial velocity monitoring, the fraction of CEMP-s stars can be used to investigate variations in binary fraction among very metal-poor stars in different Galactic environments — for example in the inner Galaxy. The occurrence of CEMP-s stars in the inner Galaxy has not been studied previously, because it is extremely challenging to even find very metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge due to the high density of (mainly metal-rich) stars, and severe foreground extinction. The recent Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS), however, has been very successful at uncovering such stars, efficiently selecting very metal-poor candidates for spectroscopic follow-up using metallicity-sensitive narrow-band CaHK photometry. I will present recent PIGS results on carbon-rich stars in our low-resolution spectroscopic follow-up sample. The fraction of CEMP-s stars in PIGS appears to be lower than in the Galactic halo, which may indicate a lower binary fraction among very metal-poor stars in the inner Galaxy.
