The non-LTE abundances of magnesium and yttrium and asteroseismic ages for the chemical clock calibration
Š. Mikolaitis, G. Tautvaišienė, E. Pakštienė +11
Building on our previous study, which demonstrated the importance of accounting for departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) in elemental-abundance determinations and…
Chromospherically active stars: Lithium and CNO abundances in northern RS CVn stars
B. Bale, G. Tautvaisiene, R. Minkeviciute +4
Aims: We carried out a detailed investigation of Lithium and CNO abundances, including carbon isotope ratios, in RS CVn stars to assess the role of magnetic activity in the mixing…
Chromospherically active stars: Chemical composition of photospheres in 20 RS CVn stars
B. Bale, G. Tautvaisiene, R. Minkeviciute +4
Context. Various element transport processes modify the photospheric chemical composition of low-mass stars during their evolution. The most prominent one is the first dredge-up th…
C/C of Kepler giant stars: the missing piece of the mixing puzzle
N. Lagarde, R. Minkeviciute, A. Drazdauskas +6
Despite a rich observational background, few spectroscopic studies have dealt with the measurement of the carbon isotopic ratio in giant stars. However, it is a key element in unde…
