It is argued that internal gravity waves generated by the convective envelope of a star may be effective in producing a weak mixing in its radiative interior...
Lithium abundances and metallicities in stars near the main-sequence turnoff and a giant in M67
The iron abundance of seven stars near the main-sequence (MS) turnoff and a giant in M67 are spectroscopically derived, and the results are discussed. The...
Lithium abundances in classical and weak T Tauri stars
A study on the lithium abundance in 36 T Tauri stars (mass range 0.4-2.25 solar masses), partly based on high-dispersion spectra taken with the Isaac Newton...
New measurements of the lithium abundance in a sample of 37 field dwarfs of low metallicity (-0.6 ≥ [Fe/H] ≥ 3.2) are presented. Combining these observations...
Lithium abundances in samples of dwarf stars of population II and very old population I
The CCD camera and Intermediate Dispersion Spectrograph of the 2.5 m Issaac Newton Telescope are used to obtain high quality spectra of the 6708-A Li-7...
Los exoplanetas rocosos y sus estrellas anfitrionas podrían tener una composición similar
Las estrellas recién formadas están rodeadas por un disco protoplanetario. Una fracción del material del disco se condensa en bloques formadores de planetas y...
MG II observed in the local interstellar medium - The local cloud
Observations of interstellar absorptions superposed on the chromospheric Mg II emissions of nearby cool stars have been used to explore the structure of the...
On the O/Fe versus Fe/H relationship and the progenitors of type I supernovae
The new observational O/Fe versus Fe/H abundance relationship for halo stars is studied in terms of several models of chemical evolution for the solar...
Oxygen abundances in old disc and halo stars of the Galaxy
Intermediate resolution CCD spectra of the oxygen triplet at 7770 A have been analyzed to determine oxygen abundances in a sample of metal-deficient stars with...
