Manganese Abundances in Cluster and Field Stars
J. S. Sobeck, I. I. Ivans, J. A. Simmerer +4
We have derived Mn abundances for more than 200 stars in 19 globular clusters. In addition, Mn abundance determinations have been made for a comparable number of halo field and dis…
The Chemical Composition Contrast between M3 and M13 Revisited: New Abundances for 28 Giant Stars in M3
Christopher Sneden, Robert P. Kraft, Puragra Guhathakurta +2
We report new chemical abundances of 23 bright red giants of the globular cluster M3, based on high-resolution spectra obtained with the Keck I telescope. Combining these data with…
A New Globular Cluster Metallicity Scale Based on the Abundance of FeII
R. P. Kraft, I. I. Ivans
When using Fe as a surrogate for ``metallicity'', the metallicity is best represented by the dominant species of Fe. Accordingly, we have derived a new globular cluster metallicity…
A Comparison of Copper Abundances in Globular Cluster and Halo Field Giant Stars
Jennifer Simmerer, Christopher Sneden, Inese I. Ivans +3
We derive [Cu/Fe] for 117 giant stars in ten globular clusters (M3, M4, M5, M10, M13, M15, M71, NGC 7006, NCG 288, and NGC 362) and find that globular cluster Cu abundances appear…
A Globular Cluster Metallicity Scale Based on the Abundance of Fe II
Robert P. Kraft, Inese I. Ivans
Assuming that in the atmospheres of low-mass, metal-poor red giant stars, 1-D models based on LTE accurately predict the abundance of iron from Fe II, we derive a globular cluster…
Properties of a Proper-Motion Selected Sample of Giants in the Small Magellanic Cloud near NGC 121
Nicholas B. Suntzeff, Alistair R. Walker, Verne V. Smith +3
We present both low and high-dispersion abundance analyses of giants drawn from the zero proper motion sample near NGC 121. For the sample of 35 stars, the mean metallicity of the…
