A large C+N+O abundance spread in giant stars of the globular cluster NGC 1851 (2009)

Yong, David, Grundahl, Frank, D'Antona, Francesca, Karakas, Amanda I., Lattanzio, John C., Norris, John E.

Abundances of C, N, and O are determined in four bright red giants that span the known abundance range for light (Na and Al) and s-process (Zr and La) elements in the globular cluster NGC 1851. The...

A multi-site campaign to measure solar-like oscillations in Procyon. I. Observations, Data Reduction and Slow Variations (2008)

Arentoft, Torben, Kjeldsen, Hans, Bedding, Timothy R., Bazot, Michael, Christensen-Dalsgaard, Joergen, Dall, Thomas H., ...

We have carried out a multi-site campaign to measure oscillations in the F5 star Procyon A. We obtained high-precision velocity observations over more than three weeks with eleven telescopes, with...

Nitrogen abundances in giant stars of the globular cluster NGC 6752 (2008)

Yong, David, Grundahl, Frank, Johnson, Jennifer A., Asplund, Martin

We present N abundances for 21 bright giants in the globular cluster NGC 6752 based on high-resolution UVES spectra of the 3360A NH lines. We confirm that the Stromgren c1 index traces the N...

An abundance analysis of bright giants in the globular cluster NGC 1851 (2007)

Yong, David, Grundahl, Frank

We present the chemical compositions for eight bright giants in the globular cluster NGC 1851. Our analysis reveals large star-to-star abundance variations and correlations of the light elements O,...

Pinning Down Gravitational Settling (2006)

Korn, Andreas J., Piskunov, Nikolai, Grundahl, Frank, Barklem, Paul, Gustafsson, Bengt

We analyse high-resolution archival UVES data of turnoff and subgiant stars in the nearby globular cluster NGC 6397 ([Fe/H] = -2). Balmer-profile analyses are performed to derive reddening-free...

Solar-like oscillations in the metal-poor subgiant nu Indi: Constraining the mass and age using asteroseismology (2006)

Butler, R. Paul, Bouchy, Francois, Brewer, Brendon J, Eggenberger, Patrick, ...

Asteroseismology is a powerful method for determining fundamental properties of stars. We report the first application to a metal-poor object, namely the subgiant star nu Ind. We measured precise...

Abundances in giant stars of the globular cluster NGC 6752 (2005)

Yong, David, Grundahl, Frank, Nissen, Poul Erik, Jensen, Henrik Robenhagen, Lambert, David L.

Recent theoretical yields and chemical evolution models demonstrate that intermediate-mass AGB stars cannot reproduce the observed abundance distributions of O, Na, Mg, and Al. As a further...

Distances and ages of NGC 6397, NGC 6752 and 47 Tuc (2003)

Gratton, Raffaele, Bragaglia, Angela, Carretta, Eugenio, Clementini, Gisella, Desidera, Silvano, Grundahl, Frank, ...

Distances and absolute ages for the globular clusters NGC6397, NGC6752, and 47 Tuc are obtained using Main Sequence Fitting. Accurate reddenings and metal abundances (errors of 0.005 mag and 0.04...

Mg isotopic ratios in giant stars of the globular cluster NGC 6752 (2003)

Yong, David, Grundahl, Frank, Lambert, David L., Nissen, Poul Erik, Shetrone, Matthew

Mg isotopic abundance ratios are measured in 20 bright red giants in globular cluster NGC 6752 based on very high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra obtained with UVES on the VLT. There is a...

Globular Cluster Ages and Stromgren CCD Photometry (1999)

Grundahl, Frank

Stromgren uvby CCD photometry can be used in a variety of ways to constrain the absolute and relative ages of globular clusters. The reddening corrected (v-y, c1) diagram offers the means to derive...

Stromgren Photometry of Globular Clusters: The Distance and Age of M13, Evidence For Two Populations of Horizontal-Branch Stars (1998)

Grundahl, Frank, VandenBerg, Don A., Andersen, Michael I.

We present deep CCD photometry of the globular cluster M13 (NGC 6205) in the Stromgren uvby-Beta system, and determine a foreground reddening of E(b-y)= 0.015mag. From a fit to the main-sequence of...
