Discovery of an extended halo of metal-poor stars in the Andromeda spiral galaxy

Puragra Guhathakurta, James C. Ostheimer, Karoline M. Gilbert +5

Understanding galaxy formation involves look-back and fossil-record studies of distant and nearby galaxies, respectively. Debris trails in our Galaxy's spheroidal halo of old stars…

The Dearth of Massive, Helium-Rich White Dwarfs in Young Open Star Clusters

Jasonjot Singh Kalirai, Harvey B. Richer, Brad M. S. Hansen +2

Spectra have been obtained of 21 white dwarfs (WDs) in the direction of the young, rich open star cluster NGC 2099. This represents an appreciable fraction (>30%) of the cluster's…

The Initial-Final Mass Relationship: Spectroscopy of White Dwarfs in NGC 2099 (M37)

Jasonjot Singh Kalirai, Harvey B. Richer, David Reitzel +5

We present new observations of very faint white dwarfs (WDs) in the rich open star cluster NGC 2099 (M37). Following deep, wide field imaging of the cluster using CFHT, we have now…

Composition of the Galactic bulge

Andrew McWilliam, R. Michael Rich

We present detailed abundance results for 9 Galactic bulge stars in Baade's Window, based on HIRES (R=45,000--60,000) spectra taken with the Keck I telescope. The alpha elements sh…
