Henrik Jönsson,Nils Ryde,Graham M. Harper,Katia Cunha,Mathias Schultheis,Kjell Eriksson,Chiaki Kobayashi,Verne V. Smith,Manuela Zoccali +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the trend of the fluorine-oxygen abundance ratio as a function of a metallicity indicator in the bulge to investigate the possible contribution from Wolf-Rayet stars was determined using spectral fitting.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the chemical abundance patterns of each galaxy to draw robust conclusions about their star formation histories, by quantifying the relative abundance trends of multiple elements (C, N, O, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Fe, Ni, and Ce), as well as fitting chemical evolution models to the [$\alpha$/Fe]-[Fe/H] abundance plane for each galaxy.

TL;DR: MSE as discussed by the authors is an 11.25m aperture observatory with a 1.5 square degree field of view that will be fully dedicated to multi-object spectroscopy, enabling transformational science in areas as diverse as tomographic mapping of the interstellar and intergalactic media; the in-situ chemical tagging of thick disk and halo stars; connecting galaxies to their large scale structure; measuring the mass functions of cold dark matter sub-halos in galaxy and cluster-scale hosts; reverberation mapping of supermassive black holes in quasars.
