Lines of heavy elements and Fe ii in the UV of CS 31082-0011This article is part of a Special Issue on the 10th International Colloquium on Atomic Spectra and Oscillator Strengths for Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas.
Abstract:The abundance of heavy r-elements may provide a better understanding of the r-process, and the determination of several reference r-elements should allow a better determination of a star's age. The space UV region (λ < 3000 Å) presents a large number of lines of the heavy elements, and in the case of some elements, such as Bi, Pt, Au, detectable lines are not available elsewhere. The extreme “r-process star” CS 31082–001 ([Fe/H] = –2.9) was observed in the space UV to determine abundances of the heaviest st… Show more
