Observational evidence for a different IMF in the early Galaxy

Sara Lucatello, Raffaele G. Gratton, Timothy C. Beers +1

The unexpected high incidence of carbon-enhanced, s-process enriched unevolved stars amongst extremely metal-poor stars in the halo provides a significant constraint on the Initial…

The Binary Frequency Among Carbon-Enhanced, s-Process Rich, Metal-Poor Stars

Sara Lucatello, Stelios Tsangarides, Timothy C. Beers +3

We discuss radial velocities for a sample of carbon-enhanced, s-process rich, very metal-poor stars (CEMP-s hereafter), analyzed with high-resolution spectroscopy obtained over mul…

Metallicities on the Double Main Sequence of omega Centauri Imply Large Helium Enhancement

Giampaolo Piotto, Sandro Villanova, Luigi R. Bedin +10

Having shown in a recent paper that the main sequence of omega Centauri is split into two distinct branches, we now present spectroscopic results showing that the bluer sequence is…

Abundances of Extremely Metal-Poor Star Candidates

D. K. Lai, M. Bolte, J. A. Johnson +1

We present chemical abundances for 110 stars identified in objective-prism surveys as candidates to be very metal-poor. The abundances are derived from high S/N, intermediate-resol…

No Planet Around HD 219542 B

S. Desidera, R. G. Gratton, M. Endl +8

The star HD 219542 B has been reported by us (Desidera et al. 2003) to show low-amplitude radial velocity variations that could be due to the presence of a Saturn-mass planetary co…

Abundance differences between components of wide binaries

S. Desidera, R. Gratton, S. Scuderi +9

In this paper we present iron abundance analysis for 23 wide binaries with main sequence components in the temperture range 4900-6300 K, taken from the sample of the pairs currentl…
