A First Study of Giant Stars in the Galactic Bulge based on Crires spectra

arXiv:astro-ph/0701916 · doi:10.1017/S1743921307008113

Abstract

We present our on-going work on the determination of elemental abundances of giants in the Galactic Bulge by means of infrared spectroscopy. We show a preliminarily reduced spectrum and a synthetic spectrum fit of the Bulge giant Arp 4203 recorded with the near-infrared, high-resolution Crires spectrograph mounted on the VLT during its science verification run in August 2006. Abundances derived from this spectrum are discussed.
