  7. 5. The cosmic origin of fluorine and sulphur: Infrared spectroscopic studies of red giants

    University dissertation from Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, Lund University

    Author : Henrik Jönsson; Lund University.; Lunds universitet.; [2015]
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemical evolution; near-infrared and mid-infrared spectroscopy; stellar abundances;

    Abstract : Disregarding the small primordial traces of the lightest elements, all metals have been formed in stellar processes, which means that the relative amount of metals in the Universe increases for every stellar generation. This build-up of elements is called chemical evolution and might be used both to constrain stellar models as well as understanding the formation and evolution of stellar populations. READ MORE
