Molybdenum (Mo, Z = 42) is a neutron-capture element with seven stable isotopes that can be produced by different processes. Previous studies have shown a large scatter in molybdenum abundances for metal-poor (Fe/H −2. Our derived Mo/Fe abundance ratios show on average slightly higher values (∼0.2 dex) compared to the literature samples. This may be due to an observational bias or to non-local thermodynamic equilibrium effects. We also found that Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus candidate stars have lower Mo/Fe than the sample average, while the only Sequoia candidate star has a higher Mo/Fe than most sample stars.
