Abundances of 650 bulge red giants

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the analysis of the [alpha/Fe] abundance ratios for a large number of stars at several locations in the Milky Way bulge with the aim of constraining its formation scenario.

Description

We obtained FLAMES-GIRAFFE spectra (R=22500) at the ESO Very Large Telescope for 650 bulge red giant branch (RGB) stars and performed spectral synthesis to measure Mg, Ca, Ti, and Si abundances. This sample is composed of 474 giant stars observed in 3 fields along the minor axis of the Galactic bulge and at latitudes b=-4{deg}, b=-6{deg}, b=-12{deg}.

Another 176 stars belong to a field containing the globular cluster NGC 6553, located at b=-3{deg} and 5{deg} away from the other three fields along the major axis.
