Elemental Abundance Ratios in Stars of the Outer Galactic Disk. IV. A New Sample of Open Clusters

David Yong, Bruce W. Carney, Eileen D. Friel

We present radial velocities and chemical abundances for nine stars in the old, distant open clusters Be 18, Be 21, Be 22, Be 32, and PWM 4. For Be 18 and PWM 4, these are the firs…

A Keck HIRES Doppler Search for Planets Orbiting Metal-Poor Dwarfs. II. On the Frequency of Giant Planets in the Metal-Poor Regime

A. Sozzetti, G. Torres, D. W. Latham +5

We present an analysis of three years of precision radial velocity measurements of 160 metal-poor stars observed with HIRES on the Keck 1 telescope. We report on variability and lo…

Rotation and Macroturbulence in Metal-poor Field Red Giant and Red Horizontal Branch Stars

Bruce W. Carney, David F. Gray, David Yong +4

We report the results for rotational velocities, Vrot sin i, and macroturbulence dispersion, zeta(RT), for 12 metal-poor field red giant branch stars and 7 metal-poor field red hor…

Observational Tests of Planet Formation Models

A. Sozzetti, G. Torres, D. W. Latham +8

We summarize the results of two experiments to address important issues related to the correlation between planet frequencies and properties and the metallicity of the hosts. Our r…

Rubidium and lead abundances in giant stars of the globular clusters M4 and M5

David Yong, David L. Lambert, Diane B. Paulson +1

We present measurements of the neutron-capture elements Rb and Pb for bright giants in the globular clusters M4 and M5. The clusters are of similar metallicity ([Fe/H] = -1.2) but…
