Chemical Abundances of Two Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud Globular Cluster NGC 1718

Chemical Abundances of Two Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud Globular Cluster NGC 1718

Detailed chemical abundances of two stars in the intermediate-age Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) globular cluster NGC~1718 are presented, based on high resolution spectroscopic observations with the MIKE spectrograph. The detailed abundances confirm NGC~1718 to be a fairly metal-rich cluster, with an average [Fe/H] ~ -0.55+/-0.01. The two red giants appear …
