Abundances in Stars in Globular Clusters from Palomar CCD Spectra

Abstract

We have completed abundance analyses of stars in three globular clusters: M71, M4. and M22. Spectra of resolution 0.3 and 0.6 (two pixel) resolution have been obtained with the Palomar coudé spectrograph and a TI CCD. The analysis was carried out with model atmospheres and f-values derived from three sources: absolute f-values derived by theory for the 6300 line of OI and for CN bands, laboratory f-values for lines that are too weak in the sun to be useful, and solar f-values. The last introduce an uncertainty of about 0.25 dex because solar f-values derived via the Holweger-Muller model differ from those derived via the BEGN model.
