Mining the Galactic Halo for Very Metal-Poor Stars
We study the age and metallicity distribution function (MDF) of metal-poor stars in the Milky Way halo as a function of galactocentric radius by combining N-body simulations and semi-analytical methods. We find that the oldest stars populate the innermost region, while extremely metal-poor stars are more concentrated within r < 60 kpc. We predict that the MDF of [Fe/H]≤ −2 stars varies only ver...
متن کاملHigh mass - loss AGB stars detected by MSX in the “ intermediate ” and “ outer ” Galactic bulge
We present a study of MSX point sources in the Galactic bulge (|l| < 3, 1 < |b| < 5), observed at A, C, D and E-band (8 to 21 μm), with a total area ∼ 48 deg and more than 7000 detected sources in the MSX D-band (15 μm). We discuss the nature of the MSX sources (mostly AGB stars), their luminosities, the interstellar extinction, the mass-loss rate distribution and the total mass-loss rate in th...
متن کاملGalactic Cosmochronometry from Radioactive Elements in the Spectra of Very Old Metal-poor Stars
In a short review of neutron-capture elemental abundances in Galactic halo stars, emphasis is placed on the use of these elements to estimate the age of the Galactic halo. Two prominent characteristics of neutron-capture elements in halo stars are their large star-to-star scatter in the overall abundance level with respect to lighter elements, and the dominance of r-process abundance patterns a...
متن کاملChromospherically Active Stars in the Galactic Bulge
We present the results from the discovery and study of ∼ 3000 chromospherically active giant and subgiant stars toward the Galactic bulge. We find that these stars are predominantly RS CVn binaries with rotation periods between 10 and 100 days. We discover that the average rotational period of these stars decreases with their distance from the Galactic plane. We find that the primary stars in t...
متن کاملNew Extremely Metal-Poor Stars in the Galactic Halo
We present a detailed abundance analysis based on high resolution and high signal-to-noise spectra of eight extremely metal poor (EMP) stars with [Fe/H] . −3.5 dex, four of which are new. Only stars with 4900 < Teff < 5650 K are included. Two stars of the eight are outliers in each of several abundance ratios. The most metal poor star in this sample, HE1424−0241, has [Fe/H] ∼ −4 dex and is thus...
