Detailed abundances in stars belonging to ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies
P. François, L. Monaco, S. Villanova +7
We report preliminary results concerning the detailed chemical composition of metal poor stars belonging to close ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (hereafter UfDSphs). The abundances hav…
The exotic chemical composition of the Sagittarius dwarf Spheroidal galaxy
L. Sbordone, P. Bonifacio, R. Buonanno +3
The Sagittarius dwarf Spheroidal galaxy is the nearest neighbor of the Milky Way. Moving along a short period quasi-polar orbit within the Halo, it is being destroyed by the tidal…
The chemistry of the neighbors: detailed abundances in the Sgr and CMa dwarf galaxies
L. Sbordone, P. Bonifacio, G. Marconi +2
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…
Family ties: abundances in Terzan 7, a Sgr dSph globular cluster
L. Sbordone, P. Bonifacio, G. Marconi +2
We study the chemical composition of 5 giant stars in the globular cluster Terzan 7 associated with the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph), based on high resolution UVE…
UVES observations of the Canis Major overdensity
L. Sbordone, P. Bonifacio, G. Marconi +2
We present the first detailed chemical abundances for three giant stars which are candidate members of the Canis Major overdensity, obtained by using FLAMES-UVES at VLT. The stars,…
The distance to the LMC cluster Reticulum from the K-band Period-Luminosity-Metallicity relation of RR Lyrae stars
M. Dall'ora, J. Storm, G. Bono +12
We present new and accurate Near-Infrared J and Ks-band data of the Large Magellanic Cloud cluster Reticulum. Data were collected with SOFI available at NTT and covering an area of…
