Abundances in Very Metal-Poor Stars
Metal-poor stars provide information on the characteristics and chemical evolution of the halo population of the Galaxy, the first epoch of star formation and Galaxy formation (not just locally but with relevance to high-redshift objects), and big bang nucleosynthesis. This review looks at recent developments in this subject.
متن کاملHeavy Element Diffusion in Metal Poor Stars
Stellar evolution models which include the effect of helium and heavy element diffusion have been calculated for initial iron abundances of [Fe/H] = −2.3, −2.1, −1.9 and −1.7. These models were calculated for a large variety of masses and three separate mixing lengths, α = 1.50, 1.75 and 2.00 (with α = 1.75 being the solar calibrated mixing length). The change in the surface iron abundance for ...
متن کاملHeavy - element abundances in the CH / CN - strong very metal - poor stars CS 22948 - 27 and CS 29497 - 34 ?
We have carried out a new analysis of the very metalpoor CH/CN strong stars CS 22948-27 and CS 29497-34. In particular, the effective temperatures were recomputed by comparing newly obtained photometric data to colours derived from model atmospheres computed especially for these stars. Metallicities of [Fe/H] = −2.45 and −2.90 are found, respectively, for CS 22948-27 and CS 29497-34. The abunda...
متن کاملDetailed Abundances of Two Very Metal-poor Stars in Dwarf Galaxies
The most metal-poor stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) can show the nucleosynthetic patterns of one or a few supernovae. These supernovae could have zero metallicity, making metal-poor dSph stars the closest surviving links to Population III stars. Metal-poor dSph stars also help to reveal the formation mechanism of the Milky Way halo. We present the detailed abundances from Keck/HIRES ...
متن کاملChemical abundances of RGB-Tip stars in the Sagittarius dwarf Spheroidal galaxy
We present preliminary iron abundances and α element (Ca, Mg) abundance ratios for a sample of 22 Red Giant Branch (RGB) Stars in the Sagittarius galaxy (Sgr), selected near the RGB-Tip. The sample is representative of the Sgr dominant population. The mean iron abundance is [Fe/H]=-0.49. The α element abundance ratios are slightly subsolar, in agreement with the results recently prensented by [...
