Mixing processes during the evolution of red giants with moderate metal deficiencies : the role of molecular-weight barriers

Corinne Charbonnel, Jeffery A. Brown, George Wallerstein

We have assembled accurate abundance data for Li, C, and N as well as the 12C/13C ratio for five field giants with [Fe/H]=-0.6 including Arcturus and two stars in the globular clus…

Multiplicity among peculiar A stars I. The Ap stars HD 8441 and HD 137909, and the Am stars HD 43478 and HD 96391

P. North, J. -M. Carquillat, N. Ginestet +2

We present the first results of a radial-velocity survey of cool Ap and Am stars. HD 8441 is not only a double system with P = 106.357 days, but is a triple one, the third companio…

Understanding the Cool DA White Dwarf, G29-38

S. J. Kleinman, R. E. Nather, D. E. Winget +37

The white dwarfs are promising laboratories for the study of cosmochronology and stellar evolution. Through observations of the pulsating white dwarfs, we can measure their interna…
