Chemical composition of a sample of bright solar-metallicity stars

E. Caffau, A. Mott, M. Steffen +5

We present a detailed analysis of seven young stars observed with the spectrograph SOPHIE at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence for which the chemical composition was incomplete or…

The Galactic evolution of phosphorus

E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio, R. Faraggiana +1

As a galaxy evolves, its chemical composition changes and the abundance ratios of different elements are powerful probes of the underlying evolutionary processes. Phosphorous is an…

The solar photospheric abundance of zirconium

Elisabetta Caffau, Rosanna Faraggiana, Hans-Günter Ludwig +2

Zirconium (Zr), together with strontium and yttrium, is an important element in the understanding of the Galactic nucleosynthesis. In fact, the triad Sr-Y-Zr constitutes the first…

The solar photospheric abundance of carbon.Analysis of atomic carbon lines with the CO5BOLD solar model

E. Caffau, H. -G. Ludwig, P. Bonifacio +5

The use of hydrodynamical simulations, the selection of atomic data, and the computation of deviations from local thermodynamical equilibrium for the analysis of the solar spectra…

The Solar Photospheric Nitrogen Abundance: Determination with 3D and 1D Model Atmospheres

E. Maiorca, E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio +5

We present a new determination of the solar nitrogen abundance making use of 3D hydrodynamical modelling of the solar photosphere, which is more physically motivated than tradition…

The solar photospheric nitrogen abundance. Analysis of atomic transitions with 3D and 1D model atmospheres

E. Caffau, E. Maiorca, P. Bonifacio +5

CONTEXT: In recent years, the solar chemical abundances have been studied in considerable detail because of discrepant values of solar metallicity inferred from different indicator…
