An aluminium tool for multiple stellar generations in the globular clusters 47 Tuc and M 4

Eugenio Carretta, Raffaele Gratton, Angela Bragaglia +2

We present aluminium abundances for a sample of about 100 red giant stars in each of the Galactic globular clusters 47 Tuc (NGC 104) and M 4 (NGC 6121). We have derived homogeneous…

Chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge as traced by microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars. V. Evidence for a wide age distribution and a complex MDF

T. Bensby, J. C. Yee, S. Feltzing +20

Based on high-resolution spectra obtained during gravitational microlensing events we present a detailed elemental abundance analysis of 32 dwarf and subgiant stars in the Galactic…

Fluorine variations in the globular cluster NGC 6656 (M22): implications for internal enrichment timescales

Valentina D'Orazi, Sara Lucatello, Maria Lugaro +8

Observed chemical (anti)correlations in proton-capture elements among globular cluster stars are presently recognized as the signature of self-enrichment from now extinct, previous…

Searching for multiple stellar populations in the massive, old open cluster Berkeley 39

A. Bragaglia, R. G. Gratton, E. Carretta +3

The most massive star clusters include several generations of stars with a different chemical composition (mainly revealed by an Na-O anti-correlation) while low-mass star clusters…

Simple MCBR models of chemical evolution: an application to the thin and the thick disk

R. Caimmi

Simple MCBR models of chemical evolution are extended to the limit of dominant gas inflow or outflow with respect to gas locked up into long-lived stars and remnants. For an assign…

The SEGUE K giant survey II: A Catalog of Distance Determinations for the SEGUE K giants in the Galactic Halo

Xiang-Xiang Xue, Zhibo Ma, Hans-Walter Rix +13

We present an online catalog of distance determinations for K giants, most of which are members of the Milky Way's stellar halo. Their medium-resolution spectra from SDS…
