Present-day cosmic abundances - A comprehensive study of nearby early B-type stars and implications for stellar and Galactic evolution and interstellar dust models
- M. Nieva, N. Przybilla
- Physics
- 1 March 2012
Aims. A carefully selected sample of early B-type stars in OB associations and the field within the solar neighbourhood is studi ed comprehensively. Present-day abundances for the astrophysically…
A Cosmic Abundance Standard: Chemical Homogeneity of the Solar Neighborhood and the ISM Dust-Phase Composition*
- N. Przybilla, M. Nieva, Keith Butler Dr. Remeis-Observatory Bamberg, M. F. A. Garching, University Observatory Munich
- Physics
- 14 September 2008
A representative sample of unevolved early B-type stars in nearby OB associations and the field is analyzed to unprecedented precision using NLTE techniques. The resulting chemical composition is…
The First DIRECT Distance Determination to a Detached Eclipsing Binary in M33
- A. Bonanos, K. Stanek, G. Torres
- Physics
- 12 June 2006
We present the first direct distance determination to a detached eclipsing binary in M33, which was found by the DIRECT Project. Located in the OB 66 association at coordinates (alpha,…
First stellar abundances in NGC 6822 from VLT-UVES and Keck-Hires spectroscopy
We have obtained the first high-resolution spectra of individual stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The spectra of the two A-type supergiants were obtained at the Very Large Telescope and…
Helium enhanced stars and multiple populations along the horizontal branch of NGC 2808: direct spectroscopic measurements
- A. Marino, A. Milone, R. Angeloni
- Physics
- 16 October 2013
We present an abundance analysis of 96 horizontal branch (HB) stars in NGC 2808, a globular cluster exhibiting a complex multiple stellar population p attern. These stars are distributed in different…
A non-LTE study of neutral and singly-ionized calcium in late-type stars
- L. Mashonkina, A. Korn, N. Przybilla
- Physics
- 19 September 2006
Aims. Non-local thermodynamical equilibrium (NLTE) line formation for neutral and singly-ionized calcium is considered through a range of spectral types when the Ca abundance varies from the solar…
Pristine CNO abundances from Magellanic Cloud B stars - I. The LMC cluster NGC 2004 with UVES
- A. Munich, H Germany, O. S. Wolf
- Physics
- 28 January 2002
We present chemical abundances for four main sequence B stars in the young cluster NGC 2004 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Apart from H II regions, unevolved OB-type stars are currently the…
Quantitative spectroscopy of ba-type supergiants
- N. Przybilla, K. Butler, S. Becker, R. Kudritzki
- Physics
- 22 September 2005
Luminous BA-type supergiants have enormous potential for modern astrophysics. They allow topics ranging from non-LTE physics and the evolution of massive stars to the chemical evolution of galaxies…
The Araucaria Project: The Local Group Galaxy WLM—Distance and Metallicity from Quantitative Spectroscopy of Blue Supergiants*
- M. Urbaneja, R. Kudritzki, U. Concepcion
- Physics
- 22 May 2008
The quantitative analysis of low-resolution spectra of A and B supergiants is used to determine a distance modulus of 24.99 ± 0.10 mag (995 ± 46 kpc) to the Local Group galaxy WLM. The analysis…
Analysis of Four A-F Supergiants in M31 from Keck HIRES Spectroscopy*
- K. Venn, J. McCarthy, D. Lennon, N. Przybilla, R. Kudritzki, M. Lemke
- Physics
- 3 June 2000
The first stellar abundances in M31 are presented, based on Keck I HIRES spectroscopy and model atmospheres analyses of three A-F supergiants, 41-2368, 41-3712, and A-207. We also present the…
