Detailed Chemical Analysis of Two Giants in the SGR DSPH

Abstract

The 8m class telescopes allow for the first time to study stars of external galaxies with the same resolution and S/N ratio which has been so far used for Galactic stars. It is quite likely that this study will shake some of our current beliefs. In this poster we highlight some of the results which have been obtained for two giants in the Sgr dSph thanks to the UVES spectrograph on the ESO 8.2m Kueyen telescope. Further details on the observations and data analysis may be found in Bonifacio et al (2000).
