The chemistry of the neighbors: detailed abundances in the Sgr and CMa dwarf galaxies

Abstract

We summarize the results of our ongoing investigation of the chemical abundances in the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (Sgr dSph) and in the Canis Major Overdensity (CMa). 12 RGB stars were analyzed in the Sgr dSph, plus 5 in the associated globular Terzan 7, together with three CMa candidate members. Detailed abundances have been derived for up to 23 elements from Oxygen to Europium.
