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…

VLT/UVES constraints on the cosmological variability of the fine-structure constant

S. A. Levshakov, M. Centurion, P. Molaro +1

We propose a new methodology for probing the cosmological variability of alpha from pairs of FeII lines (SIDAM, single ion differential alpha measurement) observed in individual ex…

Galactic Evolution of Nitrogen

G. Israelian, A. Ecuvillon, R. Rebolo +3

We present detailed spectroscopic analysis of nitrogen abundances in 31 unevolved metal-poor stars analysed by spectral synthesis of the near-UV NH band at 3360 A observed at high…
