2 Nov 2004 | | Journal: | Nucl.Phys. A758 (2005) 197-200 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | OCIW), R. Michael Rich (UCLA) and Andrew McWilliam (OCIW | | Abstract: | We present abundance results from our Keck/HIRES observations of giants in the Galactic Bulge. We confirm that the metallicity distribution of giants in the low-reddening bulge field Baade’s Window can be well-fit by a closed-box enrichment model. We also confirm previous observations that find enhanced [Mg/Fe], [Si/Fe] and [Ca/Fe] for all bulge giants, including those at super-solar metallicities. However, we find that the [O/Fe] ratios of metal-rich bulge dwarfs decrease with increasing metallicity, contrary to what is expected if the enhancements of the other $alpha$-elements is due to Type II supernovae enrichment. We suggest that the decrease in oxygen production may be due to mass loss in the pre-supernova evolution of metal-rich progenitors. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0411041 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
