VLT-UVES abundance analysis of four giants in NGC 6553

Metal-rich globular clusters trace the formation of bulges. Abundance ratios in the metal-rich globular clusters such as NGC 6553 can constrain the formation timescale of the Galactic bulge. The purpose of this study is determine the metallicity and elemental ratios in individual stars of the metal-rich bulge globular cluster NGC 6553. A detailed abundance analysis of four giants in NGC 6553 is carried out, based on optical high-resolution echelle spectra obtained with UVES at the ESO VLT-UT2 Kueyen telescope. A metallicity [Fe/H]= -0.20 dex is derived, together with $\alpha$-element enhancement of Mg and Si ([Mg/Fe]=+0.28, [Si/Fe]=+0.21), solar Ca and Ti ([Ca/Fe]=+0.05, [Ti/Fe]=-0.01), and a mild enhancement of the r-process element Eu with [Eu/Fe] = +0.10. A mean heliocentric radial velocity of -1.86 km s$^{-1}$ is measured. We compare our results with previous investigations of the cluster.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figures, A&A, in pres

The radius and mass of the close solar twin 18 Sco derived from asteroseismology and interferometry

The growing interest in solar twins is motivated by the possibility of comparing them directly to the Sun. To carry on this kind of analysis, we need to know their physical characteristics with precision. Our first objective is to use asteroseismology and interferometry on the brightest of them: 18 Sco. We observed the star during 12 nights with HARPS for seismology and used the PAVO beam-combiner at CHARA for interferometry. An average large frequency separation $134.4\pm0.3$ $\mu$Hz and angular and linear radiuses of $0.6759 \pm 0.0062$ mas and $1.010\pm0.009$ R$_{\odot}$ were estimated. We used these values to derive the mass of the star, $1.02\pm0.03$ M$_{\odot}$.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
