Equivalent widths of 9 RGB in Carina dSph

A spherical model atmospheres analysis is applied using standard methods (local thermodynamic equilibrium and plane-parallel radiative transfer) to spectra ranging from 380 to 680nm. Stellar parameters are found to be consistent between photometric and spectroscopic analyses, both at moderate and high resolution.

The stars in this analysis range in metallicity from -2.9<[Fe/H]<-1.3, and adopting the ages determined by Lemasle et al. (Cat. J/A+A/538/A100), we are able to examine the chemical evolution of Carina's old and intermediate-aged populations.
