We present a model for the evolution of the light-nuclide abundances in the Galaxy, aimed especially at interpreting the observed beryllium and boron abundances...
We have observed the B I 2497 A line to derive the boron abundances of two very metal-poor stars selected to help in tracing the origin and evolution of this...
Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Multi-element Abundance Ratios
We map the trends of elemental abundance ratios across the Galactic disk, spanning R=3{--}15 {kpc} and midplane distance | Z| =0{--}2 {kpc}, for 15 elements in...
Chemical composition of extremely metal-poor stars in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy
Context: Individual stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies around the Milky Way Galaxy have been studied both photometrically and spectroscopically. Extremely metal...
Chemical composition of secondary stars in LMXBs: implications on the progenitors of black holes and neutron stars
Recent studies of chemical abundances of secondary stars in low mass X-ray binaries have opened a new window to obtain information on the progenitors of black...
Chlorine abundances in star-forming regions of the local Universe
Aims. We aim to study the behaviour of Cl abundance and its ratios with respect to O, S, and Ar abundances in a sample of more than 200 spectra of Galactic and...
Circumstellar effects on the Rb abundances in O-rich AGB stars
For the first time we explore the circumstellar effects on the Rb (and Zr) abundance determination in O-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars by considering...
Exploring circumstellar effects on the Li abundances in massive Galactic AGB stars.
We have explored the circumstellar effects on the Li abundance determination in a complete sample of O-rich Galactic asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars...
