- Description:
- In table 3 we list all spectral lines that have been used in the determination of abundances. Column 1 gives the wavelength (in Angstrom), column 2 the lower excitation potential (in eV), column 3 the correction factor to the classical Unsoeld damping constant, and column 5 the radiation damping constant. An "S" in column 4 indicates that the broadening by collisions have been taken from Anstee & O'Mara (1995MNRAS.276..859A), Barklem & O'Mara (1997MNRAS.290..102B, 1998MNRAS.300..863B), and Barklem et al. (1998MNRAS.296.1057B, 2000, Cat. <J/A+AS/142/467>), instead of the classical Unsoeld broadening (indicated by a "U"). The solar abundance that is given for each element is the photospheric value from Grevesse & Sauval (1998SSRv...85..161G ). Column 6 gives our adopted log gf - values and column 7 the references. In table 6 we give the derived abundances for all individual elements (atoms and ions). The results for each star consist of three rows. The top row gives the mean abundance, the middle row gives the (1 sigma) standard deviation around the mean, and the third row gives the number of spectral lines that was used in computing the mean. All abundances are given relatively our solar values, which in turn is normalized to the standard photospheric values in Grevesse & Sauval (1998SSRv...85..161G ).

- Description:
- We report on abundances of O, Mg, Si, Ca and Fe for 10 giants in the Sgr dwarf spheroidal derived from high resolution spectra obtained with UVES at the 8.2m Kueyen-VLT telescope. The iron abundance spans the range -0.8<~[Fe/H]<~0.0 and the dominant population is relatively metal-rich with [Fe/H]~-0.25.

- Description:
- We present the first results of a new abundance survey of the Milky Way bulge based on Keck HIRES spectra of 27 K giants in the Baade's Window (l=1{deg},b=-4{deg}) field. The spectral data used in this study are of much higher resolution and signal-to-noise ratio than previous optical studies of Galactic bulge stars. The [Fe/H] values of our stars, which range between 1.29 and +0.51, were used to recalibrate large low-resolution surveys of bulge stars. Our best value for the mean [Fe/H] of the bulge is -0.10+/-0.04. This mean value is similar to the mean metallicity of the local disk and indicates that there cannot be a strong metallicity gradient inside the solar circle. The metallicity distribution of stars confirms that the bulge does not suffer from the so-called G dwarf problem. This paper also details the new abundance techniques necessary to analyze very metal-rich K giants, including a new Fe line list and regions of low blanketing for continuum identification.

- Description:
- The chemical abundances of large samples of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars can be used to investigate metal-free stellar populations, supernovae, and nucleosynthesis as well as the formation and galactic chemical evolution of the Milky Way and its progenitor halos. However, current progress on the study of EMP stars is being limited by their faint apparent magnitudes. The acquisition of high signal-to-noise spectra for faint EMP stars requires a major telescope time commitment, making the construction of large samples of EMP star abundances prohibitively expensive. We have developed a new, efficient selection that uses only public, all-sky APASS optical, 2MASS near-infrared, and WISE mid-infrared photometry to identify bright metal-poor star candidates through their lack of molecular absorption near 4.6 microns.

- Description:
- We present a detailed study of Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) stars, based on high-resolution spectroscopic observations of a sample of 18 stars. The stellar spectra for this sample were obtained at the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) in 2001 and 2002, using the Utrecht Echelle Spectrograph (UES), at a resolving power R~52000 and S/N~40, covering the wavelength range {lambda}-{lambda}3700-5700{AA}. The atmospheric parameters determined for this sample indicate temperatures ranging from 4750K to 7100K, log g from 1.5 to 4.3, and metallicities -3.0<=[Fe/H]<=-1.7. Elemental abundances for C, Na, Mg, Sc, Ti, Cr, Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy are determined. Abundances for an additional 109 stars were taken from the literature and combined with the data of our sample. The literature sample reveals a lack of reliable abundance estimates for species that might be associated with the r-process elements for about 67% of CEMP stars, preventing a complete understanding of this class of stars, since [Ba/Eu] ratios are used to classify them. Although eight stars in our observed sample are also found in the literature sample, Eu abundances or limits are determined for four of these stars for the first time. From the observed correlations between C, Ba, and Eu, we argue that the CEMP-r/s class has the same astronomical origin as CEMP-s stars, highlighting the need for a more complete understanding of Eu production.

- Description:
- In the course of the TOPoS (Turn Off Primordial Stars) survey, aimed at discovering the lowest metallicity stars, we have found several carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars. These stars are very common among the stars of extremely low metallicity and provide important clues to the star formation processes. We here present our analysis of six CEMP stars. We want to provide the most complete chemical inventory for these six stars in order to constrain the nucleosynthesis processes responsible for the abundance patterns.

- Description:
- We present the results of a detailed multiphase spectroscopic analysis of 10 classical Cepheids with pulsation periods between 6 and 10 days. For each star, we have derived phased values of effective temperature, surface gravity, microturbulent velocity, and elemental abundances. We show that the elemental abundance results for intermediate-period Cepheids are consistent for all pulsational phases.

- Description:
- We have carried out a detailed abundance analysis using high-dispersion spectra from HIRES at Keck for a sample of 16 carbon stars found among candidate extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars from the Hamburg/ESO Survey (HES). We find that the Fe metallicities for the cooler C stars (Teff~5100K) have been underestimated by a factor of 10 by the standard HES tools. The results presented here provided crucial supporting data used recently by Cohen et al. (2005ApJ...633L.109C) to derive the frequency of C stars among EMP stars.
