The Hamburg/ESO R-process enhanced star survey (HERES). II. Spectroscopic analysis of the survey sample
- P. Barklem, N. Christlieb, +7 authors D. Reimers
- Physics
- 3 May 2005
We present the results of analysis of "snapshot" spectra of 253 metal-poor halo stars −3.8 ≤ (Fe/H) ≤− 1.5 obtained in the HERES survey. The snapshot spectra have been obtained with VLT/UVES and have… Expand
Kinematics of Metal-poor Stars in the Galaxy. II. Proper Motions for a Large Nonkinematically Selected Sample
We present a revised catalog of 2106 Galactic stars, selected without kinematic bias and with available radial velocities, distance estimates, and metal abundances in the range -4.0 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ 0.0.… Expand
The Frequency of Carbon-enhanced Metal-poor Stars in the Galaxy from the HERES Sample
- S. Lucatello, T. Beers, +5 authors Y. Lee
- Physics
- 26 September 2006
We estimate the frequency of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars among very metal-poor stars, based on an analysis of 349 stars with available high-resolution spectra observed as part of the… Expand
Bright Metal-poor Stars from the Hamburg/ESO Survey. I. Selection and Follow-up Observations from 329 Fields
- A. Frebel, N. Christlieb, +9 authors D. Reimers
- Physics
- 16 August 2006
We present a sample of 1777 bright (9 1.0) metal-poor ([Fe/H] 20%) and higher values with increasing distance from the Galactic plane. Although the numbers of stars at low metallicity are falling… Expand
Elemental abundances and classification of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars
- D. Allen, S. Ryan, S. Rossi, T. C. Beers, S. Tsangarides
- Physics
- 18 October 2012
We present a detailed study of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars, based on high-resolution spectroscopic observations of a sample of 18 stars. The stellar spectra for this sample were obtained… Expand
Metal Abundances and Kinematics of Bright Metal-poor Giants Selected from the LSE Survey: Implications for the Metal-weak Thick Disk
- T. Beers, J. S. Drilling, +5 authors T. Hippel
- Physics
- 19 April 2002
We report medium-resolution (1–2 A) spectroscopy and broadband (UBV) photometry for a sample of 39 bright stars (the majority of which are likely to be giants) selected as metal-deficient candidates… Expand
The Hamburg/ESO R-process Enhanced Star survey (HERES). I. Project description, and discovery of two stars with strong enhancements of neutron-capture elements
- N. Christlieb, T. Beers, +15 authors S. Ryan
- Physics
- 21 August 2004
We report on a dedicated effort to identify and study metal-poor stars strongly enhanced in r-process elements ((r/Fe) > 1 dex; hereafter r-II stars), the Hamburg/ESO R-process Enhanced Star survey… Expand
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars. I. A SOAR/OSIRIS Pilot Study
- T. Beers, T. Sivarani, +13 authors France
- Physics
- 27 November 2006
We report on an abundance analysis for a pilot study of seven carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars, based on medium-resolution optical and near-infrared spectroscopy. The optical spectra are used… Expand
The Fractions of Inner- and Outer-Halo Stars in the Local Volume
We obtain a new determination of the metallicity distribution function (MDF) of stars within $\sim5$-$10$ kpc of the Sun, based on recently improved co-adds of $ugriz$ photometry for Stripe 82 from… Expand
The INT Search for Metal-Poor Stars: Spectroscopic Observations and Classification via Artificial Neural Networks*
- C. Prieto, R. Rebolo, +11 authors O. Trieste
- Physics
- 31 May 2000
With the dual aims of enlarging the list of extremely metal-poor stars identified in the Galaxy and boosting the numbers of moderately metal-deficient stars in directions that sample the rotational… Expand
