Detailed 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 کاملAbundances 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 کاملPrompt Iron Enrichment, Two r-Process Components, and Abundances in Very Metal-Poor Stars.
We present a model to explain the wide range of abundances for heavy r-process elements (mass number A>130) at low [Fe/H]. This model requires rapid star formation and/or an initial population of supermassive stars in the earliest condensed clots of matter in order to provide a prompt or initial Fe inventory. Subsequent Fe and r-process enrichment was provided by two types of supernovae: one pr...
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...
