Black Hole

Lensing of space time around a black hole. At Oxford we study black holes observationally and theoretically on all size and time scales - it is some of our core work.

A metal deficient early B-type star near the edge of the galactic disk

Astronomy and Astrophysics 305:1 (1996) 164-170

Authors:

SJ Smartt, RL Dufton, WRJ Rolleston

Abstract:

High resolution spectra of an early B-type star associated with the H II region detected by de Geus et al. (1993) are analysed using LTE model atmosphere techniques to derive stellar atmospheric parameters and a chemical composition. A distance to the star of 8.2 kpc is estimated, placing it near the edge of the galactic disk and closer than the kinematic distance of 20 kpc to the H II region, calculated by de Geus et al. A differential line by line abundance analysis with respect to the spectroscopic standard τ Sco indicates a significant metal depletion, with elements down on average by -0.5 dex.
