First Stars VIII -- Enrichment of the neutron-capture elements in the early Galaxy
P. Francois, E. Depagne, V. Hill +12
Our aim is to measure accurate, homogeneous neutron-capture element abundances for the sample of 32 EMP giant stars studied earlier in this series, including 22 stars with [Fe/H] $…
NLTE determination of the sodium abundance in a homogeneous sample of extremely metal-poor stars
S. M. Andrievsky, M. Spite, S. A. Korotin +5
Abundance ratios in extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars are a good indication of the chemical composition of the gas in the earliest phases of the Galaxy evolution. It had been found…
Chemical abundances in LMC stellar populations I. The Inner disk sample Based on observations collected at the VLT UT2 telescope
L. Pompeia, V. Hill, M. Spite +6
The advent of the new class 8 meters telescopes allows for the first time the detailed study of numerous stars of galaxies other than our own. The Large Magellanic Cloud is one of…
Elemental abundances of metal poor carbon rich lead star: CS29497-030
T. Sivarani, P. Bonifacio, P. Molaro +12
We present here the abundance analysis of a metal poor carbon rich lead star, CS29497-030. High resolution and high signal to noise spectra were obtained using the UVES spectrograp…
First Stars II. Elemental abundances in the extremely metal-poor star CS 22949--037: A diagnostic of early massive supernovae
E. Depagne, V. Hill, M. Spite +10
CS 22949--037 is one of the most metal-poor giants known ([Fe/H]), and it exhibits large overabundances of carbon and nitrogen (Norris et al.). Using VLT-UVES spectra…
Measurement of stellar age from uranium decay
R. Cayrel, V. Hill, T. Beers +10
The ages of the oldest stars in the Galaxy indicate when star formation began, and provide a minimum age for the Universe. Radioactive dating of meteoritic material and stars relie…
