1. On the Abundances of Li, Be and O in Metal-Poor Stars in the Galaxy
Sammanfattning : Stellar atmospheres constitute excellent environments to study the chemical evolution of our Galaxy. The chemical composition of these atmospheres reflects the composition of the gas from where these stars were born. LÄS MER
2. Dwarf and Subgiant Stars as Probes of Galactic Chemical and Dynamical Evolution
Sammanfattning : Stellar chemical abundances provide astronomers with vital information about the production of chemical elements. Some stars preserve the composition of the environment in which they were born on their surfaces. LÄS MER
3. On the Winds of Carbon Stars and the Origin of Carbon : A Theoretical Study
Sammanfattning : Carbon is the basis for life, as we know it, but its origin is still largely unclear. Carbon-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars (carbon stars) play an important rôle in the cosmic matter cycle and may contribute most of the carbon in the Galaxy. LÄS MER
4. Determination of stellar ages and star formation histories - a Bayesian approach With an application to nearby F and G stars
Sammanfattning : In order to understand the formation and evolution of the Galaxy it is imperative to know when different components formed. This means at the most basic level that we need to know the ages of stars. The present work demonstrates the many problems inherent in determining the ages of stars through comparison with stellar evolutionary models. LÄS MER
5. On the Chemical Composition of Metal-Poor Stars : Impact of Stellar Granulation and Departures from Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium on the Formation of Spectral Lines
Sammanfattning : The information about the chemical compositions of stars is encoded in their spectra. Accurate determinations of these compositions are crucial for our understanding of stellar nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution. LÄS MER
