VizieR Online Data Catalog: Abundances red giants in Carina dSph (Lemasle+, 2012)
Abstract
We use the VLT-FLAMES multi-fibre spectrograph in high-resolution mode (R~20000) to measure the abundances of several chemical elements, including Fe, Mg, Ca and Ba, in a sample of 35 individual Red Giant Branch stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We also combine these abundances with photometry to derive age estimates for these stars. This allows us to determine which of two distinct star formation episodes the stars in our sample belong to, and thus to define the relationship between star formation and chemical enrichment during these two episodes.
