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…
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…
Line shift, line asymmetry, and the 6Li/7Li isotopic ratio determination
Roger Cayrel, Matthias Steffen, Hum Chand +6
Context: Line asymmetries are generated by convective Doppler shifts in stellar atmospheres, especially in metal-poor stars, where convective motions penetrate to higher atmospheri…
First stars X. The nature of three unevolved Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor stars
T. Sivarani, T. C. Beers, P. Bonifacio +13
From high-resolution VLT/UVES spectra (R~43,000), we determine abundances or upper limits for Li, C, N, O, and other important elements, as well as 12C/13C isotopic ratio for three…
First stars IX -Mixing in extremely metal-poor giants. Variation of the 12C/13C, [Na/Mg] and [Al/Mg] ratios
M. Spite, R. Cayrel, V. Hill +11
Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars preserve a fossil record of the composition of the ISM when the Galaxy formed. It is crucial, however, to verify whether internal mixing has modifi…
Lead abundance in the uranium star CS 31082-001
B. Plez, V. Hill, R. Cayrel +6
In a previous paper we were able to measure the abundance of uranium and thorium in the very-metal poor halo giant BPS CS 31082-001, but only obtained an upper limit for the abunda…
