Isotopic lithium abundances in five metal-poor disk stars
High resolution (R ' 110 000), very high S/N spectra centered on the 6707.8 Å Li i line have been obtained with the ESO Coudé Echelle Spectrometer for five, metal-poor (−0.8 < [Fe/H] < −0.6) disk stars in the turnoff region of the HR-diagram. The instrumental and stellar atmospheric line broadening have been determined from two unblended iron lines and used in a model atmosphere synthesis of th...
متن کاملLithium Isotopic Abundances in Metal-poor Halo Stars
Very high-quality spectra of 24 metal-poor halo dwarfs and subgiants have been acquired with ESO’s VLT/UVES for the purpose of determining Li isotopic abundances. The derived 1D, nonLTE Li abundances from the Li i 670.8 nm line reveal a pronounced dependence on metallicity but with negligible scatter around this trend. Very good agreement is found between the abundances from the Li i 670.8 nm l...
متن کامل6Li/7Li estimates for metal-poor stars
Context. The presence of the lithium-6 isotope in some metal-poor stars is a matter of surprise because of the high values observed. Non-standard models of Big Bang nucleosynthesis and pre-Galactic cosmic ray fusion and spallation have been proposed to explain these values. However, the observations of this light isotope are challenging which may make some detections disputable. Aims. The goal ...
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 کاملA Search for Li in Lithium-Poor Stars with Planets
Using high-resolution, high quality spectra we investigate the presence of Li in two lithium-poor stars that host extrasolar planetary systems. We present improved atomic and molecular line lists for the region in the vicinity of the lithium line at 6707.8 Å, and we produce an excellent fit to the solar spectrum. From line profile fitting, we find results consistent with no Li in either of the ...
