Galactic abundance gradients from Cepheids : On the iron abundance gradient around 10-12 kpc
B. Lemasle, P. Francois, A. Piersimoni +5
Context: Classical Cepheids can be adopted to trace the chemical evolution of the Galactic disk since their distances can be estimated with very high accuracy. Aims: Homogeneous ir…
NLTE determination of the aluminium abundance in a homogeneous sample of extremely metal-poor stars
S. M. Andrievsky, M. Spite, S. A. Korotin +5
Aims: Aluminium is a key element to constrain the models of the chemical enrichment and the yields of the first supernovae. But obtaining precise Al abundances in extremely metal-p…
The ESO Large Programme First Stars
P. Bonifacio, J. Andersen, S. Andrievsky +19
In ESO period 65 (April-September 2000) the large programme 165.N-0276, led by Roger Cayrel, began making use of UVES at the Kueyen VLT telescope. Known within the Team and outside…
Metallicity estimates of Galactic Cepheids based on Walraven photometry
S. Pedicelli, J. Lub, J. W. Pel +13
We present new empirical and theoretical calibrations of two photometric metallicity indices based on Walraven photometry. The empirical calibration relies on a sample of 48 Cephei…
First Stars XI. Chemical composition of the extremely metal-poor dwarfs in the binary CS 22876--032
J. I. González Hernández, P. Bonifacio, H. -G. Ludwig +15
We have used high-resolution, high-S/N ratio spectra from the UVES spectrograph at the ESO VLT telescope. Long-term radial-velocity measurements and broad-band photometry allow us…
Cepheids as tracers of the metallicity gradient across the Galactic disk
B. Lemasle, A. Piersimoni, S. Pedicelli +4
We present iron abundance measurements, based on high resolution spectroscopy, and accurate distance determinations, based on near infrared photometry, for 34 Galactic Cepheids. Th…
