Supergiant GCIRS 22 in the Milky Way Nuclear Star Cluster: Revised alpha abundances
B. Thorsbro, S. Khalidy, R. M. Rich +7
Context: The chemical abundances of alpha-elements in Galactic Centre (GC) supergiants provide key insights into the chemical enrichment and star formation history of the Milky Way…
Metallicities of Classical Cepheids in the Inner Galactic Disk
N. Matsunaga, D. Taniguchi, S. S. Elgueta +14
Metallicity gradients refer to the sloped radial profile of metallicities of gas and stars and are commonly seen in disk galaxies. A well-defined metallicity gradient of the Galact…
Absorption Lines in the 0.91-1.33 m Spectra of Red Giants for Measuring Abundances of Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, and Ni
K. Fukue, N. Matsunaga, S. Kondo +13
Red giants show a large number of absorption lines in both optical and near-infrared wavelengths. Still, the characteristics of the lines in different wave passbands are not necess…
Astrophysical calibration of the oscillator strengths of YJ-band absorption lines in classical Cepheids
S. S. Elgueta, N. Matsunaga, M. Jian +13
Newly-developed spectrographs with increased resolving powers, particularly those covering the near-IR range, allow the characterization of more and more absorption lines in stella…
On the chemical abundances of Miras in clusters: V1 in the metal-rich globular NGC 5927
V. D'Orazi, D. Magurno, G. Bono +50
We present the first spectroscopic abundance determination of iron, alpha-elements (Si, Ca and Ti) and sodium for the Mira variable V1 in the metal-rich globular cluster NGC 5927.…
