The [O/Fe] Ratio in Halo, Disk and Bulge Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Extract
The oxygen-to-iron ratio in the different stellar populations is a tracer of the chemical enrichment by supernovae of types II and I: SNII/SNI along the Galaxy lifetime, given that the bulk of oxygen is produced and ejected by massive stars (M > 10 M⊙), whereas the bulk of iron is produced by SNI of intermediate masses. Otherwise, the O overabundances are generally accompanied by α-elements (24Mg, 28Si, 40Ca, 48Ti) overabundances (Wheeler et al, 1989).
