Transition Probabilities Of Astrophysical Interest In The Niobium Ions Nb+ And Nb2+
(2010)
Aims. We attempt to derive accurate transition probabilities for astrophysically interesting spectral lines of Nb II and Nb III and determine the niobium abundance in the Sun and metal-poor stars rich in neutron-capture ...
The Ubiquity Of The Rapid Neutron-Capture Process
(2010-12)
To better characterize the abundance patterns produced by the r-process, we have derived new abundances or upper limits for the heavy elements zinc (Zn, Z = 30), yttrium (Y, Z = 39), lanthanum (La, Z = 57), europium (Eu, ...
Characterizing The Chemistry Of The Milky Way Stellar Halo: Detailed Chemical Analysis Of A Metal-Poor Stellar Stream
(2010-03)
We present the results of a detailed abundance analysis of one of the confirmed building blocks of the Milky Way stellar halo, a kinematically coherent metal-poor stellar stream. We have obtained high-resolution and high ...
X-Shooter Observations of Main-Sequence Stars in the Globular Cluster NGC 2808: First Chemical Tagging of A He-Normal and A He-Rich Dwarf
(2010-09)
We present the first chemical composition study of two unevolved stars in the globular cluster NGC 2808, obtained with the X-shooter spectrograph at VLT.NGC 2808 shows three discrete, well-separated main sequences. The ...
New Abundance Determinations of Cadmium, Lutetium, and Osmium in the R-Process Enriched Star BD+17 3248
(2010-05)
We report the detection of Cd I (Z = 48), Lu II (Z = 71), and Os II (Z = 76) in the metal-poor star BD + 17 3248. These abundances are derived from an ultraviolet spectrum obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph ...
