Abundances of Stars in the Galactic Bulge Obtained Using the Keck Telescope (2000)
We report on detailed abundances of giants in the Galactic bulge, measured with the HIRES echelle spectrograph on the 10-m Keck telescope. We also review other work on the bulge field population and...
On the helium content of Galactic globular clusters via the R parameter (2000)
Zoccali, M., Cassisi, S., Bono, G., Piotto, G., Rich, R. M., Djorgovski, S. G.
We estimate the empirical R parameter in 26 Galactic Globular Clusters covering a wide metallicity range, imaged by WFPC2 on board the HST. The improved spatial resolution permits a large fraction of...
The Initial Mass Function of the Galactic Bulge Down to ~0.15 Msun (1999)
Zoccali, M., Cassisi, S., Frogel, J. A., Gould, A., Ortolani, S., Renzini, A., ...
We present a luminosity function (LF) for lower main sequence stars in the Galactic bulge near (l,b)=(0,-6) to J=24, corresponding to M_J~9.3. This LF is derived from HST + NICMOS observations with...
Piotto, G., Zoccali, M., King, I. R., Rich, R. M., Meylan, G.
We present observations of the center of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6273, obtained with the HST/WFPC2 camera as part of the snapshot program GO-7470. A B, V color-magnitude diagram (CMD) for...
High-Resolution Abundance Analysis of Very Metal-Rich Stars in the Solar Neighborhood (1997)
Castro, S., Rich, R. M., Grenon, M., Barbuy, B., McCarthy, J. K.
