As the most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen and helium, oxygen plays a key role in planetary, stellar, and galactic astrophysics. Its abundance is especially influential on stellar structure and evolution, and as the…

We report new branching fraction measurements for 224 ultraviolet (UV) and optical transitions of Tm II. These transitions range in wavelength (wavenumber) from 2350 - 6417 Angstroms (42532 - 15579 cm-1) and originate in 13 odd-parity and…

This work reports new experimental radiative lifetimes and calculated oscillator strengths for transitions of astrophysical interest in singly ionized cobalt. More precisely, nineteen radiative lifetimes in Co+ have been measured with the…

We report new measurements of branching fractions for 20 UV and blue lines in the spectrum of neutral silicon (Si I) originating in the 3$s^{2}$3$p$4$s$ $^{3}$P$^{\rm o}_{1,2}$, $^{1}$P$^{\rm o}_{1}$ and 3$s$3$p^{3}$ $^{1}$D$^{\rm o}_{1,2}$…

The lifetimes of 17 even-parity levels (3d5s, 3d4d, 3d6s, and 4p$^2$) in the region 57743-77837 cm$^{-1}$ of singly ionised scandium (\ion{Sc}{ii}) were measured by two-step time-resolved laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy. Oscillator…

We report new branching fractions for 121 UV lines from the low-lying odd-parity levels of Fe II belonging to the z6Do, z6Fo, z6Po, z4Fo, z4Do and z4Po terms of the 3d6(5D)4p configuration. These lines range in wavelength from 2250 - 3280…

Moderately r-process-enriched stars (r-I) are at least four times as common as those that are greatly enriched in r-process elements (r-II), and the abundances in their atmospheres are important tools for obtaining a better understanding of…

To better characterize the abundance patterns produced by the r-process, we have derived new abundances or upper limits for the heavy elements zinc (Zn), yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), europium (Eu), and lead (Pb). Our sample of 161…

This study introduces a line list for the abundance analysis of F and G type stars across the 4080-9675 A wavelength range. A systematic search employing lower excitation potentials, accurate log gf values, and an updated multiplet table…

The calculation of solar absolute fluxes in the near-UV is revisited, discussing in some detail recent updates in theoretical calculations of bound-free opacity from metals. Modest changes in the abundances of elements such as Mg and the…

The stellar abundance ratio of Mg/Fe is an important tool in diagnostics of galaxy evolution. In order to make reliable measurements of the Mg abundance of stars, it is necessary to have accurate values for the oscillator strength (f-value)…

Employing high resolution spectra obtained with the near-UV sensitive detector on the Keck I HIRES, supplemented by data obtained with the McDonald Observatory 2-d coude, we have performed a comprehensive chemical composition analysis of…

The goals of this study are 1) to test the best theoretical transition probabilities for Ca I (a relatively light alkaline earth spectrum) from a modern ab initio calculation using configuration interaction plus many body perturbation…

Here, we delineate a comprehensive abundance analysis of four $r$-process enhanced metal-poor stars observed with HORuS spectrograph on a 10-m class telescope, GTC. The high signal-to-noise ratio at $R \approx 25000$ spectral resolution…

We present abundances for Ru and Hf, compare them to abundances of other heavy elements, and discuss the problems found in determining Ru and Hf abundances with laboratory gf-values in the spectra of barium stars. We determined Ru and Hf…

The study of the origin of heavy elements is one of the main goals of nuclear astrophysics. In this paper, we present new observational data for the heavy $r$-process elements gadolinium (Gd, Z=64), dysprosium (Dy, Z=66) and thorium (Th,…

We examine the Pb and Th abundances in 27 metal-poor stars (-3.1 < [Fe/H] < -1.4) whose very heavy metal (Z > 56) enrichment was produced only by the rapid (r-) nucleosynthesis process. New abundances are derived from HST/STIS, Keck/HIRES,…

We determined the \fodd\ values, $0.46\pm0.08$, $0.51\pm0.09$, $0.50\pm0.13$, $0.48\pm0.12$, which correspond to the r-contribution 100\% for four r-II stars, \cs, \hen, \hes\, and \het, respectively. Our results suggest that almost all of…

We use previously-published moderate-resolution spectra in combination with stellar atmosphere models to derive the first measured chemical abundance ratios in the Leo II dSph galaxy. We find that for spectra with SNR > 24, we are able to…

We propose a line list that may be useful for the abundance analysis of G-type stars in the wavelength range 4080 -- 6780 A. It is expected that the line list will be useful for surveys/libraries with overlapping spectral regions (e.g.…
