We present the first isotopic abundances of both ^13 CO and C ^18 O in solar twin stars and test the results against several galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models with different nucleosynthesis prescriptions.

WHAT ARE LITTLE WORLDS MADE OF? STELLAR ABUNDANCES AND THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF PLANETS [PDF]
If the photospheres of solar-type stars represent the composition of circumstellar disks from which any planets formed, spectroscopic determinations of stellar elemental abundances offer information on the composition of those planets, including smaller,

Constraining planet structure from stellar chemistry: the cases of CoRoT-7, Kepler-10, and Kepler-93 [PDF]
We explore the possibility that the stellar relative abundances of different species can be used to constrain the bulk abundances of known transiting rocky planets.

Stellar Nucleosynthesis in the Hyades Open Cluster [PDF]
We report a comprehensive light element (Li, C, N, O, Na, Mg, and Al) abundance analysis of three solar-type main sequence (MS) dwarfs and three red giant branch (RGB) clump stars in the Hyades open cluster using high-resolution and high signal-to-noise ...

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.

Lithium in Turnoff Stars in the Globular Cluster M5: A Quest for Primordial Lithium
The light element lithium is formed by nucleosynthesis during the Big Bang. Its abundance can help to define the parameters of the early Universe. To find this primordial value, it is necessary to determine Li abundances in the oldest stars because it is

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.

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.
