Accuracy and Precision of Industrial Stellar Abundances [PDF]
There has been an incredibly large investment in obtaining high-resolution stellar spectra for determining chemical abundances of stars. This information is crucial to answer fundamental questions in astronomy by constraining the formation and evolution scenarios of the Milky Way as well as the stars and planets residing in it. We have just entered a

ACTINIUM ABUNDANCES IN STELLAR ATMOSPHERES
This paper presents a study of radioactive actinium in the atmospheres of stars located in galaxies with different chemical evolution history – namely, Przybylski's Star (HD 101065) in the Milky Way and the red supergiant PMMR27 in the Small Magellanic Cloud; it also reports the findings of the previous research of the red supergiant RM 1-667 in the ...

Stellar Abundances in Local Group Galaxies [PDF]
AbstractHere we describe some of our latest results from measuring detailed abundances in Local Group dwarf galaxies with the VLT. Combining spectroscopic abundances with Color-Magnitude diagrams allows the effective measurement of detailed chemical evolution with time in these galaxies.

Stellar evolution with SMC chemical abundances [PDF]
Evolutionary computations are presented for massive stars between 20 Mo and 100 Mo with chemical abundances holding for the Small Magellanic Cloud, i.e. X = .76 and Z = .003. Mass loss by stellar wind is taken into account during core hydrogen burning.

Stellar Oxygen Abundances [PDF]
This dissertation addresses several issues concerning stellar oxygen abundances. The 7774 {A} O I triplet equivalent widths of Abia & Rebolo [1989, AJ, 347, 186] for metal-poor dwarfs are found to be systematically too high. I also argue that current effective temperatures used in halo star abundance studies may be ~150 K too low.

Uncertainties in Stellar Abundance Analyses [PDF]
AbstractOver the last half-century quantitative stellar spectroscopy has made great progress. However, most stellar abundance analyses today still employ rather simplified models, which can introduce severe systematic errors swamping the observational errors.

The Abundance of S-Process Elements: Temporal and Spatial Trends from Open Cluster Observations
Spectroscopic observations of stars belonging to open clusters, with well-determined ages and distances, are a unique tool for constraining stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis, mixing processes, and, ultimately, Galactic chemical evolution.

Planetary nebulae abundances and stellar evolution [PDF]
A summary is given of planetary nebulae abundances from ISO measurements. It is shown that these nebulae show abundance gradients (with galactocentric distance), which in the case of neon, argon, sulfur and oxygen (with four exceptions) are the same as ...
