With [ Fe / H ] \sim - 3.3 , CD -24 ^ { \circ } 17504 is a canonical metal-poor main sequence turn-off star .
Though it has appeared in numerous literature studies , the most comprehensive abundance analysis for the star based on high resolution , high signal-to-noise spectra is nearly 15 years old .
We present a new detailed abundance analysis for 21 elements based on combined archival Keck-HIRES and VLT-UVES spectra of the star that is higher in both spectral resolution and signal-to-noise than previous data .
Our results for many elements are very similar to those of an earlier comprehensive study of the star , but we present for the first time a carbon abundance from the CH G-band feature as well as improved upper limits for neutron-capture species such as Y , Ba and Eu .
In particular , we find that CD -24 ^ { \circ } 17504 has [ Fe / H ] = - 3.41 , [ C/Fe ] = + 1.10 , [ Sr/H ] = - 4.68 and [ Ba/H ] \leq - 4.46 , making it a carbon enhanced metal-poor star with neutron-capture element abundances among the lowest measured in Milky Way halo stars .
