Studying focal ratio degradation of optical fibers for Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph

Jesulino Bispo dos Santos, Antonio Cesar de Oliveira, James Gunn +9

Focal Ration Degradation (FRD) is a change in light angular distribution caused by fiber optics. FRD is important to fiber-fed, spectroscopic astronomical systems because it can ca…

Detailed Analysis of Nearby Bulgelike Dwarf Stars II. Lithium Abundances

Luciana Pompeia, Beatriz Barbuy, Michel Grenon +1

Li abundances are derived for a sample of bulgelike stars with isochronal ages of 10-11 Gyr. These stars have orbits with pericentric distances, Rp, as small as 2-3 kpc and Zmax <…
