Smith", "Andrea K. Dupree", "Jay Strader" ], "comment": "8 pages, published in PASP", "categories": [ "astro-ph.SR" ], "abstract": "Spectra of the He I 10830 line have been obtained for 23 metal-poor stars, the majority of which are dwarfs ranging in metallicity from [Fe/H] = -2.1 to -0.8. The data were acquired with the NIRSPEC spectrograph on the Keck 2 telescope. Most of these subdwarfs and dwarfs are found to exhibit a He I absorption line indicative of the presence of chromospheres. The equivalent width of the 10830 absorption profile is generally less than 70 mA, and covers a range similar to that found in solar metallicity stars of low activity. Among the subdwarfs the He I equivalent width does not correlate with either [Fe/H] metallicity or (B-V) color. Some evidence for asymmetric profiles is found among metal-poor dwarfs, but not the high-speed blue-shifted absorption displayed by some metal-poor red giants.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-02-14T19:26:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "absorption line", "metal-poor subdwarfs", "equivalent width", "solar metallicity stars", "metal-poor red giants" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1086/668865", "journal": "Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific", "year": 2012, "month": "Dec", "volume": 124, "number": 922, "pages": 1252 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1219303, "adsabs": "2012PASP..124.1252S" } } }
