Oxygen Abundances in Very Metal-Poor Stars
Oxygen abundances have been derived in a sample of very metal-poor stars from observations of the O i triplet at λλ7771–7775Å and OH lines in the near ultraviolet. A detailed NLTE analysis of iron lines has been ...

Spectroscopy of Giants of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy
In this paper we present the first results of the analysis of intermediate resolution (Δλ ∼ 3.5 Å) spectra of giants of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy acquired using the ESO NTT telescope. From the deep CCD phot...

On the Nature of Damped LYα Systems: Clues from Determinations of Elemental Abundance Ratios
We present a study of the [α/Fe-peak] and [N/α] abundance ratios in Damped Lyα (DLA) systems. By using ratios of undepleted elements ([S/Zn] and [N/S]) or when abundances of refractory elements are corrected b...

The local interstellar medium: A test-bed for the galactic ISM
We outline a method to explore the column density of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) using absorptions in the resonance H and K lines of Mgii. The intrinsic strengths of these lines in the temperature and de...

Some considerations on the non-detection of interstellar Li and B towards the SN1987a
A very low upper limit of 0.15 mÅ for the interstellar λ6707 Å Lii line has been recently derived towards the SN1987a by Baade and Magain (1988). This value corresponds toN(Li)<1.4×1011 cm−2 and gives [Li/H]<5.4×...
