  • The metal-poor end of the Spite plateau I. Stellar parameters, metallicities, and lithium abundances 
    Sbordone, L; Bonifacio, P; Caffau, E; Ludwig, H. -G; Behara, N. T; González Hernández, J. I; Steffen, M; Cayrel, R; Freytag, B; Van’t Veer, C; Molaro, P; Plez, B; Sivarani, T; Spite, M; Spite, F; Beers, T. C; Christlieb, N; François, P; Hill, V (EDP Sciences, 2010-11)
    Context. The primordial nature of the Spite plateau is at odds with the WMAP satellite measurements, implying a primordial Li production at least three times higher than observed. It has also been suggested that A(Li) might ...

R; Harris, H; Brinkmann, J; Schneider, D. P (IOP Publishing, 2010-06-10)
    We study Milky Way kinematics using a sample of 18.8 million main-sequence stars with r < 20 and proper-motion measurements derived from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and POSS astrometry, including ~170,000 stars with ...

    Kennedy, C. R; Sivarani, T; Beers, T. C; Rossi, S; Placco, V. M; Johnson, J; Masseron, T (Cambridge University Press, 2010-03)
    We report on medium-resolution near-IR spectroscopy of a sample of over 60 Carbon- Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) stars observed with SOAR/OSIRIS, selected from the HK survey of Beers and colleagues and the Hamburg/ESO Survey ...
