Abstract:We present here quantitative diagnostic tools for cool giants that employ low-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy in the K-band for stellar population studies. In this study, a total of 260 cool giants (177 stars observed with X-shooter and 83 stars observed with NIFS) are used covering a wider metallicity range than in earlier works. We measure equivalent widths of some of the selected important K-band spectral features like Na I, Fe I and 12 CO after degrading the spectral resolution (R∼ 1200) to investiga… Show more
