First stars XVI. STIS/HST abundances of heavy-elements in the uranium-rich star CS 31082-001

C. Siqueira Mello, M. Spite, B. Barbuy +14

Detailed abundances of the elements produced by r-process nucleosynthesis in various circumstances are our best observational clues to their origin, since the site(s) of r-element…

Silver and palladium help unveil the nature of a second r-process

Camilla Juul Hansen, Francesca Primas, Henrik Hartman +7

The rapid neutron-capture process, creating about half of the heaviest elements in the Solar System was believed to be unique. Many recent studies have shown that this does not inc…

The Carina Project. V. The impact of NLTE effects on the iron content

M. Fabrizio, T. Merle, F. Thévenin +21

We have performed accurate iron abundance measurements for 44 red giants (RGs) in the Carina dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy. We used archival, high-resolution spectra (R~38,000) co…

Nucleosynthesis and the Inhomogeneous Chemical Evolution of the Carina Dwarf Galaxy

Kim Venn, Matthew Shetrone, Mike Irwin +12

The detailed abundances of 23 elements in nine bright RGB stars in the Carina dSph are presented based on high resolution spectra gathered at the VLT and Magellan telescopes. A sph…

Manganese in dwarf spheroidal galaxies

P. North, G. Cescutti, P. Jablonka +10

We provide manganese abundances (corrected for the effect of the hyperfine structure) for a large number of stars in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies Sculptor and Fornax, and for a sm…
