There has been an incredibly large investment in obtaining high-resolution stellar spectra for
determining chemical abundances of stars. This information is crucial to answer …

▪ Abstract We present a review of nucleosynthesis in AGB stars outlining the development of
theoretical models and their relationship to observations. We focus on the new high …

Context. In analyses of stellar spectra and colours, and for the analysis of integrated light
from galaxies, a homogeneous grid of model atmospheres of late-type stars and …

We present evolutionary models for low mass stars from 0.075 to 1$\msol $ for solar-type
metallicities [M/H]= 0 and-0.5. The calculations include the most recent interior physics and …

Broad band colors and bolometric corrections in the Johnson-Cousins-Glass system
(Bessell, 1990; Bessell & Brett, 1988) have been computed from synthetic spectra from new …

In the framework of the ESO Large Programme “First Stars”, very high-quality spectra of
some 70 very metal-poor dwarfs and giants were obtained with the ESO VLT and UVES …

We present calibrations of the effective temperatures of giant stars versus [Fe/H] and
colours,,,,,,,,,, and. These calibrations are based on a large sample of field and globular …

Context. The primordial nature of the Spite plateau is at odds with the WMAP satellite
measurements, implying a primordial Li production at least three times higher than …

We present a comprehensive hybrid library of synthetic stellar spectra based on three
original grids of model atmosphere spectra by Kurucz (1995), Fluks et al.(1994), and Bessell …

From near-infrared, narrow-band photometry of 256 oxygen-rich Mira variables we obtain
evidence about the loops that these stars follow in colour-colour diagrams. We also find a …
