Fast Winds and Mass Loss from Metal-Poor Field Giants
Echelle spectra of the infrared He I λ10830 line were obtained with NIRSPEC on the Keck 2 telescope for 41 metal-deficient field giant stars including those on the red giant branch (RGB), asymptotic giant branch (AGB), and red horizontal branch (RHB). The presence of this He I line is ubiquitous in stars with Teff & 4500K and MV fainter than −1.5, and reveals the dynamics of the atmosphere. The...
متن کاملMass loss from OB-stars
We review recent developments regarding radiation driven mass loss from OB-stars. We first summarize the fundamental theoretical predictions, and then compare these to observational results (including the VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars). Especially we focus on the mass loss-metallicity dependence and on the so-called bi-stability jump. Subsequently we concentrate on two urgent problems, wea...
متن کاملMetal-poor Stars
The abundance patterns of metal-poor stars provide us a wealth of chemical information about various stages of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. In particular, these stars allow us to study the formation and evolution of the elements and the involved nucleosynthesis processes. This knowledge is invaluable for our understanding of the cosmic chemical evolution and the onset of starand galaxy...
متن کاملEvolution and Yields of Extremely Metal Poor Intermediate Mass Stars
Intermediate mass stellar evolution tracks from the main sequence to the tip of the AGB for five initial masses (2 to 6M⊙) and metallicity Z=0.0001 have been computed. The detailed 1D structure and evolution models include exponential overshooting, mass loss and a detailed nucleosynthesis network with updated nuclear reaction rates. The network includes a two-particle heavy neutron sink for app...
متن کاملBinary Blue Metal-Poor Stars: Evidence for AGB Mass Transfer
We present new abundance analyses of six blue metal-poor (BMP) stars with very low iron abundances ([Fe/H] < –2), based on new high resolution echelle spectra. Three are spectroscopic binaries and three have constant radial velocities. The chemical compositions of these two groups are very different, as the binary BMP stars have large enhancements of carbon and neutron-capture elements that are...
