Abundances in Damped Lyα Galaxies
Damped Lyα galaxies provide a sample of young galaxies where chemical abundances can be derived throughout the whole universe with an accuracy comparable to that for the local universe. Despite a large spread ...

Evidence of Mixing in Extremely Metal-Poor Giants
Thirty five extremely metal-poor (EMP) giants (22 of them with a metallicity [Fe/H] ≤ -3.0) have been observed with UVES at the VLT. In these stars the abundance of lithium carbon and nitrogen and also the 12C/13

Abundance of Heavy Elements in Extremely Metal-Poor Stars
In the framework of the VLT Large program “First Stars” (165.N-0276(A)), we have measured the abundance of 13 heavy elements using high quality UVES spectra. In this paper, we report on the abundance of Sr and...

Abundances in Sagittarius Stars
The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal is a very complex galaxy, which has undergone prolonged star formation. From the very first high resolution chemical analysis of Sgr stars, conducted using spectra obtained dur...
