The stellar content of the Hamburg/ESO survey. V. The metallicity distribution function of the Galactic halo
T. Schoerck, N. Christlieb, J. G. Cohen +22
We determine the metallicity distribution function (MDF) of the Galactic halo by means of a sample of 1638 metal-poor stars selected from the Hamburg/ESO objective-prism survey (HE…
HE 0557-4840 - Ultra-Metal-Poor and Carbon-Rich
John E. Norris, N. Christlieb, A. J. Korn +5
We report the discovery and high-resolution, high S/N, spectroscopic analysis of the ultra-metal-poor red giant HE 0557-4840, which is the third most heavy-element deficient star c…
The stellar content of the Hamburg/ESO survey. II. A large, homogeneously-selected sample of high latitude carbon stars
N. Christlieb, P. J. Green, L. Wisotzki +1
We present a sample of 403 faint high latitude carbon (FHLC) stars selected from the digitized objective prism plates of the Hamburg/ESO Survey (HES). Because of the ~15 Angstroem…
Mining the Digital Hamburg/ESO Objective Prism Survey
N. Christlieb, L. Wisotzki, D. Reimers
We report on the exploitation of the stellar content of the Hamburg/ESO objective prism survey by quantitative selection methods, such as automatic spectral classification, and fir…
Finding the First Stars: The Hamburg/ESO Objective Prism Survey
N. Christlieb, D. Reimers, L. Wisotzki +3
We report on a search for extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H]<-3.0) turnoff stars in the Hamburg/ESO objective prism survey (HES). Metal-poor stars are selected by automatic spectral clas…
Four magnetic DB white dwarfs discovered by the Hamburg/ESO survey
D. Reimers, S. Jordan, V. Beckmann +2
We report on seven peculiar faint blue stars found in the course of the Hamburg/ESO survey (HES) which appear to be magnetic white dwarfs (WDs) with non-hydrogen spectra. We show i…
