Heavy elements abundances in turn-off stars and early subgiants in NGC 6752
G. James, P. Francois, P. Bonifacio +12
High resolution spectra (R > 40 000) for 9 main sequence turn-off stars and 9 subgiants in the globular cluster NGC 6752 were acquired with UVES on the VLT-Kueyen (UT2). These data…
The Sgr dSph hosts a metal-rich population
P. Bonifacio, L. Sbordone, G. Marconi +2
We report on abundances of O, Mg, Si, Ca and Fe for 10 giants in the Sgr dwarf spheroidal derived from high resolution spectra obtained with UVES at the 8.2m Kueyen-VLT telescope.…
Mass motions and chromospheres of RGB stars in the globular cluster NGC 2808
C. Cacciari, A. Bragaglia, E. Rossetti +6
We present the results of the first observations, taken with FLAMES during Science Verification, of red giant branch (RGB) stars in the globular cluster NGC 2808. A total of 137 st…
Sgr dSph: a bridge between Dwarf Galaxies and DLAs?
L. Sbordone, P. Bonifacio, G. Marconi +2
We present abundances for 12 giants in the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (Sgr dSph) obtained from VLT - UVES spectra. Moving on a short period, polar orbit around the Milky W…
The Wilson--Bappu Effect: a tool to determine stellar distances
Giancarlo Pace, Luca Pasquini, Sergio Ortolani
Wilson and Bappu (1957) have shown the existence of a remarkable correlation between the width of the emission in the core of the K line of Ca II and the absolute visual magnitude…
