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 کاملEuropium Isotopic Abundances in Very Metal-poor Stars
Europium isotopic abundance fractions are reported for the very metal-poor, neutron-capture-rich giant stars CS 22892-052, HD 115444, and BD +17◦3248. The abundance fractions, derived from analysis of several strong Eu II lines appearing in high-resolution spectra of these stars, are in excellent agreement with each other and with their values in the Solar System: fr(Eu)≃ fr(Eu) ≃ 0.5. Detailed...
متن کاملOxygen Abundances in Metal-poor Stars
We present oxygen abundances derived from both the permitted and forbidden oxygen lines for 55 subgiants and giants with [Fe/H] values between −2.7 and solar with the goal of understanding the discrepancy in the derived abundances. A first attempt, using Teff values from photometric calibrations and surface gravities from luminosities, obtained agreement between the indicators for turn-off star...
متن کاملBeryllium abundances in metal - poor stars ⋆
We have determined beryllium abundances for 25 metal-poor stars based on the high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio spectra from the VLT/UVES database. Our results confirm that Be abundances increase with Fe, supporting the global enrichment of Be in the Galaxy. Oxygen abundances based on [O i] forbidden line implies a linear relation with a slope close to one for the Be vs. O trend, wh...
متن کاملSulphur abundances in metal - poor stars ⋆
We investigate the debated “sulphur discrepancy” found among metal-poor stars of the Galactic halo with [Fe/H]<−2. This discrepancy stems in part from the use of two different sets of sulphur lines, the very weak triplet at 8694 95 Å and the stronger triplet lines at 9212 9238 Å. For three representative cases of metal-poor dwarf, turnoff and subgiant stars, we argue that the abundances from th...
