  • On the hydrogen-deficient nature of Z Ursae Minoris 
    Goswami, A; Kameswara Rao, N; Lambert, D. L; Gonzalez, G (The Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1997-05)
    Z Ursa Minoris was classified by Benson et al. (1994) a a R Coronae Borealis (RCB) variable star from its light variations. Hydrogen deficiency, which is a defining feature of RCB stars, was not established. To investigate ...
  • Oxygen isotopic ratios in cool R coronae borealis stars 
    Garcia-Hernandez, D. A; Lambert, D. L; Kameswara Rao, N; Hinkle, K. H; Eriksson, K (Institute of Physics, 2010-05)
    We investigate the relationship between R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars and hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) stars by measuring precise 16O/18O ratios for five cool RCB stars. The 16O/18O ratios are derived by spectrum ...
  • The R Coronae Borealis stars: carbon abundances from forbidden carbon lines 
    Pandey, G; Lambert, D. L; Kameswara Rao, N; Gustafsson, B; Ryde, N; Yong, D (Royal Astronomical Society, 2004-09)
    Spectra of several R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars at maximum light have been examined for the [CI] 9850- and 8727-Åabsorption lines. The 9850-Åline is variously blended with an FeII and CN lines, but positive identifications ...
  • Searching for the metal-weak thick disc in the solar neighbourhood 
    Reddy, B. E; Lambert, D. L (Royal Astronomical Society, 2008-11)
    An abundance analysis is presented of 60 metal-poor stars drawn from catalogues of nearby stars provided by Arifyanto et al. and Schuster et al. In an attempt to isolate a sample of metal-weak thick disc stars, we applied ...
  • A stellar endgame - the born-again Sakurai's object 
    Asplund, M; Gustafsson, B; Lambert, D. L; Kameswara Rao, N (European Southern Observatory, 1997-05)
    The surface chemical composition of this remarkable star shows that it is hydrogen-deficient, carbon-rich and enriched in the light s-process elements. Spectra taken in May and October 1996 indicate a decrease in the surface ...
