Chemical compositions of four barium stars
We obtain abundances of α, iron peak and neutron capture (n-capture) process elements in four Ba stars HD26886, HD27271, HD50082 and HD98839 based on high resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra. We find that all of these Ba stars are disk stars. Their α and iron peak elements are similar to the solar abundances. The n-capture process elements are overabundant relative to the Sun. In particula...
متن کاملKinematics of Metal-Poor Stars in the Galaxy. III. Formation of the Stellar Halo and Thick Disk as Revealed from a Large Sample of Non-Kinematically Selected Stars
We present a detailed analysis of the space motions of 1203 solar-neighborhood stars with metal abundances [Fe/H] ≤ −0.6, on the basis of a recently revised and supplemented catalog of metal-poor stars selected without kinematic bias (Beers et al. 2000). This sample, having available proper motions, radial velocities, and distance estimates for stars with a wide range of metal abundances, is by...
متن کاملThe Chemical Compositions of Stars with Planets: A Review
A number of trends among the properties of exoplanets have become evident in the years since the first one was announced in 1995. One particularly interesting trend began to emerge in 1997 – the incidence of giant planets correlates with the metallicity of the host star. This has since been established with a high degree of statistical significance by several research groups. Other, more subtle...
متن کاملChemical composition of halo and disk stars with overlapping metallicities
High resolution (R = 60 000), high S/N spectra have been obtained for 13 halo stars and 16 disk stars with 5400 <∼ Teff <∼ 6500 K, 4.0 <∼ logg <∼ 4.6 and overlapping metallicities in the range −1.3 <∼ [Fe/H] <∼ −0.5. Equivalent widths of weak Fe i and Fe ii lines are used to determine differential values of Teff and logg. Relative abundances of O, Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni, Y andBa are det...
متن کاملThe first Galactic stars and chemical enrichment in the halo
The cosmic microwave background and the cosmic expansion can be interpreted as evidence that the Universe underwent an extremely hot and dense phase about 14 Gyr ago. The nucleosynthesis computations tell us that the Universe emerged from this state with a very simple chemical composition: H, H, He, He, and traces of Li. All other nuclei where synthesised at later times. Our stellar evolution m...
