Metal-poor stars observed with the Magellan Telescope. IV. Neutron-capture element signatures in 27 main-sequence stars

Mohammad K. Mardini, Anna Frebel, Leyatt Betre +3

Based on high-resolution spectra obtained with Magellan/MIKE, we present a chemo-dynamical analysis for 27 near main-sequence turnoff metal-poor stars, including 20 stars analyzed…

A Critique of the Spite Plateau, and the Astration of Primordial Lithium

J. E. Norris, D. Yong, A. Frebel +1

We investigate the distribution of the lithium abundances, A(Li), of metal-poor dwarf and subgiant stars within the limits 5500 K < Teff < 6700 K, -6.0 < [Fe/H] < -1.5, and logg >…

Detailed chemical abundances of stars in the outskirts of the Tucana II ultra-faint dwarf galaxy

Anirudh Chiti, Anna Frebel, Alexander P. Ji +6

We present chemical abundances and velocities of five stars between 0.3 kpc to 1.1 kpc from the center of the Tucana II ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) from high-resolution Magellan…

Evidence of globular cluster abundance anomalies in the SMC intermediate-age cluster Kron 3

C. Salgado, G. S. Da Costa, D. Yong +5

Using spectra obtained with the VLT/FORS2 and Gemini-S/GMOS instruments we have investigated carbon, nitrogen and sodium abundances in a sample of red giants in the Small Magellani…

High resolution spectroscopic follow-up of the most metal-poor candidates from SkyMapper DR1.1

D. Yong, G. S. Da Costa, M. S. Bessell +13

We present chemical abundances for 21 elements (from Li to Eu) in 150 metal-poor Galactic stars spanning 4.1 [Fe/H] 2.1. The targets were selected from the SkyMapper…

An extended halo around an ancient dwarf galaxy

Anirudh Chiti, Anna Frebel, Joshua D. Simon +7

The Milky Way is surrounded by dozens of ultra-faint (< solar luminosities) dwarf satellite galaxies. They are the surviving remnants of the earliest galaxies, as confirmed…
