- Description:
- We measure the C+N+O abundance sum in red giant stars in two Galactic globular clusters, NGC 1851 and NGC 6752. NGC 1851 has a split subgiant branch which could be due to different ages or C+N+O content while NGC 6752 is representative of the least complex globular clusters. For NGC 1851 and NGC 6752, we obtain average values of A(C+N+O)=8.16+/-0.10 ({sigma}=0.34) and 7.62+/-0.02 ({sigma}=0.06), respectively. When taking into account the measurement errors, we find a constant C+N+O abundance sum in NGC 6752. The C+N+O abundance dispersion is only 0.06 dex, and such a result requires that the source of the light element abundance variations does not increase the C+N+O sum in this cluster. For NGC 1851, we confirm a large spread in C+N+O. In this cluster, the anomalous RGB has a higher C+N+O content than the canonical RGB by a factor of 4 (~0.6 dex). This result lends further support to the idea that the two subgiant branches in NGC 1851 are roughly coeval, but with different CNO abundances.

- L_IR_-T_dust_ relation in galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/462/81
- Date:

- CDS
- Description:
- IRAS observations show the existence of a correlation between the infrared luminosity L_IR_ and dust temperature T_d_ in star-forming galaxies, in which larger L_IR_ leads to higher dust temperature. The L_IR_-T_d_ relation is commonly seen as reflecting the increase in dust temperature in galaxies with higher star formation rate (SFR). Even though the correlation shows a significant amount of dispersion, a unique relation has been commonly used to construct spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies in distant universe studies, such as source number counting or photometric redshift determination. In this work, we introduce a new parameter, namely the size of the star-forming region r_IR_ and lay out the empirical and modelled relation between the global parameters L_IR_, T_d_ and r_IR_ of IR-bright non-AGN galaxies.

- Lithium abundance of solar-like stars
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/451/4368
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We report on the determination of the lithium abundance [A(Li)] of 52 solar-like stars. For 41 objects the A(Li) here presented corresponds to the first measurement. We have measured the equivalent widths of the 6708 {AA} lithium feature in high-resolution spectroscopic images (R~80000), obtained at the Observatorio Astrofisico Guillermo Haro (Sonora, Mexico), as part of the first scientific observations of the revitalized Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL) Echelle Spectrograph, now known as the Cananea High-resolution Spectrograph (CanHiS). Lithium abundances were derived with the Fortran code MOOG, using as fundamental input a set of atmospheric parameters recently obtained by our group. With the help of an additional small sample with previous A(Li) determinations, we demonstrate that our lithium abundances are in agreement, to within uncertainties, with other works. Two target objects stand out from the rest of the sample. The star BD+47 3218 (T_eff_=6050+/-52 K, A(Li)=1.86+/-0.07 dex) lies inside the so-called lithium desert in the A(Li)-T_eff_ plane. The other object, BD+28 4515, has an A(Li)=3.05+/-0.07 dex, which is the highest of our sample and compatible with the expected abundances of relatively young stars.

- Lithium abundances of a large sample of red giants
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/785/94
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The lithium abundances for 378 G/K giants are derived with non-local thermodynamic equilibrium correction considered. Among these are 23 stars that host planetary systems. The lithium abundance is investigated, as a function of metallicity, effective temperature, and rotational velocity, as well as the impact of a giant planet on G/K giants. The results show that the lithium abundance is a function of metallicity and effective temperature. The lithium abundance has no correlation with rotational velocity at v sin i<10 km/s. Giants with planets present lower lithium abundance and slow rotational velocity (v sin i<4 km/s). Our sample includes three Li-rich G/K giants, 36 Li-normal stars, and 339 Li-depleted stars. The fraction of Li-rich stars in this sample agrees with the general rate of less than 1% in the literature, and the stars that show normal amounts of Li are supposed to possess the same abundance at the current interstellar medium. For the Li-depleted giants, Li-deficiency may have already taken place at the main sequence stage for many intermediate mass (1.5-5 M_{sun}_)G/K giants. Finally, we present the lithium abundance and kinematic parameters for an enlarged sample of 565 giants using a compilation of the literature, and confirm that the lithium abundance is a function of metallicity and effective temperature. With the enlarged sample, we investigate the differences between the lithium abundance in thin-/thick-disk giants, which indicate that the lithium abundance in thick-disk giants is more depleted than that in thin-disk giants.

- Lithium and proton-capture elements in 47 Tuc
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/713/L1
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Previous surveys in a few metal-poor globular clusters (GCs) showed that the determination of abundances for Li and proton-capture elements offers a key tool to address the intracluster pollution scenario. In this Letter, we present Na, O, and Li abundances in a large sample of dwarf stars in the metal-rich GC 47 Tucanae. We found a clear Na-O anticorrelation, in good agreement with what obtained for giant members by Carretta et al. (2009, Cat. J/A+A/505/117). While lithium and oxygen abundances appear to be positively correlated with each other, there is a large scatter, well exceeding observational errors, and no anticorrelation with sodium. These findings suggest that Li depletion, due to mechanisms internal to the stars (which are cooler and more metal-rich than those on the Spite plateau), combines with the usual pollution scenario responsible for the Na-O anticorrelation.

- Lithium in globular NGC 6397

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Most globular clusters are believed to host a single stellar population. They can thus be considered a good place to study the Spite plateau and to search for possible evolutionary modifications of the Li content. We want to determine the Li content of subgiant (SG) and main sequence (MS) stars of the old, metal-poor globular cluster NGC 6397. This work was aimed not only at studying possible Li abundance variations but also to investigate the cosmological Li discrepancy.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We aim to determine the initial Li content of two clusters of similar metallicity but very different age, the old open cluster NGC 2243 and the metal-rich globular cluster NGC 104. We compare the lithium abundances derived for a large sample of stars (from the turn-off to the red giant branch) in each cluster. For NGC 2243, the Li abundances are taken from the catalogues released by the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey, while for NGC 104 we measured the Li abundance using FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectra, which include both archival data and new observations.

- Description:
- High-quality spectra of 90 blue supergiant stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud are analyzed with respect to effective temperature, gravity, metallicity, reddening, extinction, and extinction law. An average metallicity, based on Fe and Mg abundances, relative to the Sun of [Z]=-0.35+/-0.09 dex is obtained. The reddening distribution peaks at E(B-V)=0.08 mag, but significantly larger values are also encountered. A wide distribution of the ratio of extinction to reddening is found ranging from R_V_=2 to 6. The results are used to investigate the blue supergiant relationship between flux-weighted gravity, g_F_=g/T_eff_^4^, and absolute bolometric magnitude M_bol_. The existence of a tight relationship, the Flux-weighted Gravity-Luminosity Relationship (FGLR), is confirmed. However, in contrast to previous work, the observations reveal that the FGLR is divided into two parts with a different slope. For flux-weighted gravities larger than 1.30 dex, the slope is similar to that found in previous work, but the relationship becomes significantly steeper for smaller values of the flux-weighted gravity. A new calibration of the FGLR for extragalactic distance determinations is provided.

- Lower main-sequence stars fundamental param.

- Description:
- We derive an empirical effective temperature and bolometric luminosity calibration for G and K dwarfs, by applying our own implementation of the Infrared Flux Method to multiband photometry. Our study is based on 104 stars for which we have excellent BV(RI)_C_ JHK_s_ photometry, excellent parallaxes and good metallicities. Colours computed from the most recent synthetic libraries (ATLAS9 and MARCS) are found to be in good agreement with the empirical colours in the optical bands, but some discrepancies still remain in the infrared. Synthetic and empirical bolometric corrections also show fair agreement.

- Low-mass eclipsing binaries in KIC
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We identify 231 objects in the newly released Cycle 0 data set from the Kepler Mission as double-eclipse, detached eclipsing binary systems with Teff<5500K and orbital periods shorter than ~32 days. We model each light curve using the JKTEBOP code with a genetic algorithm to obtain precise values for each system. We identify 95 new systems with both components below 1.0M_{sun}_ and eclipses of at least 0.1mag, suitable for ground-based follow-up. Of these, 14 have periods less than 1.0-day, 52 have periods between 1.0 and 10.0-days, and 29 have periods greater than 10.0-days. This new sample of main-sequence, low-mass, double-eclipse, detached eclipsing binary candidates more than doubles the number of previously known systems and extends the sample into the completely heretofore unexplored P>10.0-day period regime.
