Oxygen, $\alpha$-element and iron abundance distributions in the inner part of the Galactic thin disc. II [PDF]
We have derived the abundances of 36 chemical elements in one Cepheid star, ASAS 181024--2049.6, located R$_{\rm G}= 2.53$ kpc from the Galactic center. This star falls within a region of the inner thin disc poorly sampled in Cepheids.

A comparison of metal and Ly-α absorption in galactic haloes [PDF]
The metallicity structure of galactic haloes is one of the major unknowns in modern galactic astrophysics and observational cosmology. Hereby we outline a very simple method for obtaining at least a crude picture of gas abundances, based on ...

CNO abundances in the Galactic bulge [PDF]
AbstractThe carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen abundances and trends in the bulge are discussed in the context of our recent analysis of these elements in an on-going project based on near-IR spectra (Rydeet al. 2009). We obtained these using the CRIRES spectrometer on the VLT. The formation and evolution of the Milky Way bulge can be constrained by studying

The distribution of the elements in the thin disc from classical Cepheids
Classical Cepheids are the most popular primary distance indicator. They allow us to determine the Galactic abundances gradients and to constrain the chemical enrichment of the thin disc.

Neon, sulphur and argon abundances of planetary nebulae in the sub-solar metallicity Galactic anti-centre [PDF]
Context: Spectra of planetary nebulae show numerous fine structure emission lines from ionic species, enabling us to study the overall abundances of the nebular material that is ejected into the interstellar medium.

Ages of evolved low mass stars: Central stars of planetary nebulae and white dwarfs
We have developed several methods to estimate the ages of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN), which are based either on observed nebular properties or on data from the stars themselves. Our goal is to derive the age distribution of these stars and

Chemical Abundances in Galactic Bulge Pn [PDF]
We present abundance determinations, in particular of carbon, and C/O ratios, for 11 Galactic bulge planetary nebulae (PN) based on our low resolution UV data from IUE observations and optical spectrophotometry from the Anglo-Australian Telescope. We compare the observed abundances with those predicted by dredge-up theory for the high metallicity ...

Non-LTE Abundances of Magnesium, Aluminum and Sulfur in OB Stars Near the Solar Circle [PDF]
Non-LTE abundances of magnesium, aluminum and sulfur are derived for a sample of 23 low-v \sin i stars belonging to six northern OB associations of the Galactic disk within 1 kpc of the Sun.
