Atmospheric parameters in luminous stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Parameters and abundances for 451 stars of spectral types F, G, and K of luminosity classes I and II have been derived.

Description

Absolute magnitudes and E(B-V) have been derived for the warmer stars in order to investigate the galactic abundance gradient. The value found here: d[Fe/H]/dR~-0.06dex/kpc, agrees well with previous determinations.

Stellar evolution indicators have also been investigated with the derived C/O ratios indicating that standard CN processing has been operating. Perhaps the most surprising result found in these supposedly relatively young intermediate-mass stars is that both [O/Fe] and [C/Fe] show a correlation with [Fe/H] much the same as found in older populations. While the stars were selected based on luminosity class, there does exist a significant [Fe/H] range in the sample.

The likely explanation of this is that there is a significant range in age in the sample; that is, some of the sample are low-mass red-giant stars with types that place them within the selection criteria.
