The Abundance of Elements in Cool Stars, as Determined from High-Resolution, 1-5 Micron Spectroscopy
arXiv:astro-ph/0407340 · doi:10.1007/10995082_55
Abstract
We review the field of abundance determinations of elements in cool stars, with special interest paid to determinations based on analyses of high-resolution, 1-5 micron spectra. We discuss the current status, problems, and challenges of exploring high-resolution, near-infrared spectra. In particular, advantages and drawbacks are pointed out. A few examples of current, chemical-abundance determinations are high-lighted and, finally, we discuss the development
