2 Elemental abundances Field stars and dwarf spheroidal members Field stars and dwarf spheroidal members Massive-star mass function (core-collapse SNe) Massive-star mass function (core-collapse SNe) Invariant Invariant Mixing in interstellar medium Mixing in interstellar medium Surprisingly efficient Surprisingly efficient Carbon-rich (single) stars at very low [Fe/H] Carbon-rich (single) stars at very low [Fe/H] But also carbon-normal ultra-metal-poor stars But also carbon-normal ultra-metal-poor stars

3 Elemental Abundances: beyond metallicity  Core collapse supernovae have progenitors > 8 M  and explode on timescales ~ 10 7 yr, less than typical duration of star formation  Main site of  -elements, e.g. O, Mg, Ti, Ca, Si  Low mass stars enriched by only Type II SNe show enhanced ratio of  -elements to iron, with value dependent on mass distribution of SNe progenitors – if well-mixed system, see IMF-average  Type Ia SNe produce very significant iron, on longer timescales, few x 10 8 – several 10 10 yr (WD in binaries) after birth of progenitor stars <

4 Schematic [O/Fe] vs [Fe/H] Wyse & Gilmore 1993 Slow enrichment Low SFR, winds.. Fast IMF biased to most massive stars Self-enriched star forming region. Assume good mixing so IMF-average yields Type II only Plus Type Ia

5 Gibson 1998 Progenitor mass Ejecta Salpeter IMF (all progenitor masses) gives [  /Fe] ~ 0.4; Change of IMF slope of ~1 gives change in [  /Fe] ~ +0.3 (Wyse & Gilmore 92) IMF dependence due to different nucleosynthetic yields of Type II progenitors of different masses Kobayashi et al 2006

6 Elemental abundances in old stars Ruchti et al 2011,12 Thick disk extends to -2 dex, same enhanced [ α /Fe] as halo stars  same massive-star IMF, short duration of star formation  little scatter – fixed IMF, good mixing, down to [Fe/H] < -3 dex Stars from RAVE survey, candidate metal-poor disk, follow-up echelle data

7  same massive-star IMF Bulge Matches Thick Disk  same massive-star IMF Gonzales et al 2011

8 Extended, low-rate star formation and slow enrichment with gas retention, leads to expectation of ~solar (or below) ratios of [  /Fe] at low [Fe/H], such as in LMC stars Smith et al 2003 Gilmore & Wyse 1991 Local disk Hiatus then burst Pompeia et al 2008 LMC: solid

10 Same ‘plateau’ in [ α /Fe] in all systems at lowest metallicities Same ‘plateau’ in [ α /Fe] in all systems at lowest metallicities Type II enrichment only: massive-star IMF invariant, and apparently well-sampled/mixed Type II enrichment only: massive-star IMF invariant, and apparently well-sampled/mixed Stellar halo could form from any system(s) in which star- formation is short-lived, and inefficient so that mean metallicity kept low Stellar halo could form from any system(s) in which star- formation is short-lived, and inefficient so that mean metallicity kept low Star clusters, galaxies, transient structures… Star clusters, galaxies, transient structures… Complementary, independent age information that bulk of halo stars are OLD further constrains progenitors (e.g. Unavane, Wyse & Gilmore 1996) Complementary, independent age information that bulk of halo stars are OLD further constrains progenitors (e.g. Unavane, Wyse & Gilmore 1996)

11 M92 M15 Main sequence luminosity functions of UMi dSph and of globular clusters are indistinguishable.   Wyse et al 2002 HST star counts 0.3M  Star Counts: Invariant Low-Mass IMF UMi dSph stars have narrow range of ages, all old

12 Low-Mass Stellar MF in Bulge: Zoccali et al 2000 (M15) Matches local disk (Kroupa 2000) And M15 – which matches the UMi dSph: Low-mass IMF invariant wrt metallicity, time..

15 Lemasle et al 2012 Age estimates: younger indeed higher [ α/Fe]

17 Norris, RW et al 2010 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies have well-defined peaks, with low metallicity tails: self-enriched, from primordial gas? Then lost most baryons – M/L high. [Fe/H] distributions and radial dependence Very luminous globular cluster  lacks low-metallicity tail; most clusters do not self-enrich in Fe; Need enough compact baryons Segue 1, 7 stars 16 stars
