New analysis of the two carbon-rich stars CS 22948-27 and CS 29497-34 : binarity and neutron-capture elements

B. Barbuy, M. Spite, F. Spite +4

We have carried out a new determination of abundances in the very metal-poor CH/CN strong stars CS 29497-34 and CS 22948-27, using high-resolution spectra obtained with the HARPS s…

First stars VI - Abundances of C, N, O, Li, and mixing in extremely metal-poor giants. Galactic evolution of the light elements

M. Spite, R. Cayrel, B. Plez +11

We have investigated the poorly-understood origin of nitrogen in the early Galaxy by determining N abundances in 35 extremely metal-poor halo giants (22 stars have [Fe/H]<-3.0) usi…

Elemental abundances of metal poor carbon rich lead star: CS29497-030

T. Sivarani, P. Bonifacio, P. Molaro +12

We present here the abundance analysis of a metal poor carbon rich lead star, CS29497-030. High resolution and high signal to noise spectra were obtained using the UVES spectrograp…

R-process pattern in the Very-Metal-Poor Halo Star CS31082-001

V. Hill, B. Plez, R. Cayrel +1

The very-metal-poor halo star CS31082-001 was discovered to be very strongly r-process-enhanced during the course of a VLT+UVES high-resolution follow-up of metal-poor stars identi…

First Measurement of Uranium/Thorium ratio in a very old Star: Implications for the age of the Galaxy

R. Cayrel

During an ESO-VLT large program devoted to high-resolution spectroscopy of extremely metal-poor stars selected from the H&K survey of Beers and colleagues, a [Fe/H] giant star was…

Effects of Photospheric Temperature Inhomogeneities on Lithium Abundance Determinations (2D)

R. Cayrel, M. Steffen

Based on detailed 2D radiation hydrodynamics (RHD) simulations, we have investigated the effects of photospheric temperature inhomogeneities induced by convection on spectroscopic…
