The stellar content of the Hamburg/ESO survey. V. The metallicity distribution function of the Galactic halo
T. Schoerck, N. Christlieb, J. G. Cohen +22
We determine the metallicity distribution function (MDF) of the Galactic halo by means of a sample of 1638 metal-poor stars selected from the Hamburg/ESO objective-prism survey (HE…
Broadband UBVRI Photometry of Horizontal-Branch and Metal-Poor Candidates from the HK and Hamburg/ESO Surveys. I
Timothy C. Beers, Chris Flynn, Silvia Rossi +17
We report broadband UBV and/or BVRI CCD photometry for a total of 1857 stars in the thick-disk and halo populations of the Galaxy. The majority of our targets were selected as cand…
Carbon Stars in the Hamburg/ESO Survey: Abundances
Judith G. Cohen, Andrew McWilliam, Stephen Shectman +6
We have carried out a detailed abundance analysis for a sample of 16 carbon stars found among candidate extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars from the Hamburg/ESO Survey. We find that t…
The Frequency of Carbon Stars Among Extremely Metal-Poor Stars
Judith G. Cohen, Stephen Shectman, Ian Thompson +6
We demonstrate that there are systematic scale errors in the [Fe/H] values determined by the Hamburg/ESO Survey (and by inference by the HK Survey in the past) for certain extremel…
The Frequency of Carbon Rich Stars Among Extremely Metal Poor Stars
Judith G. Cohen, Stephen Shectman, Ian Thompson +6
We demonstrate that there are systematic scale errors in the [Fe/H] values determined by the Hamburg/ESO Survey (and by the HK Survey by inference) for certain extremely metal poor…
The Hamburg/ESO R-process Enhanced Star survey (HERES) II. Spectroscopic analysis of the survey sample
P. S. Barklem, N. Christlieb, T. C. Beers +7
We present the results of analysis of ``snapshot'' spectra of 253 metal-poor halo stars -3.8 < [Fe/H] < -1.5 obtained in the HERES survey. The spectra are analysed using an automat…
