Nitrogen abundances in Disk and Halo dwarfs

  • 1. Dept. of Astronomy, Univ. of Texas, Austin, TX 78712

Description

High-resolution Digicon spectra of the NH brand at 3360 A have been analyzed by spectrum synthesis to determine nitrogen abundances in 14 disk and halo F and G dwarfs with metal deficiencies covering the range -2.3≤[Fe/H]≤-0.3. The authors have determined carbon abundances from parallel observations and analysis of CH. In all stars nitrogen closely follows carbon and iron; i.e. [N/C] ≅ 0.0. They conclude that nitrogen is a primary element
