摘要: Zinc in stars is an important reference element because it a proxy to Fe studies of damped Lyman-alpha systems, permitting comparison chemical evolution histories bulge stellar populations and DLAs. In terms nucleosynthesis, behaves as alpha enhanced metal-poor stars. The aim this work derive the iron-peak Zn abundances 56 giants from high resolution spectra. These results are compared with data other samples, well disk halo stars, order better understand these environments. High-resolution spectra were obtained using FLAMES+UVES on Very Large Telescope. We find [Zn/Fe]=+0.24+-0.02 range -1.3 -0.1, shows spread -0.60 < [Zn/Fe] +0.15, most having low [Zn/Fe]<0.0. zinc at metallicity end define decreasing trend increasing metallicities. A DLA systems presented, where dust-depletion correction was applied for both Fe. Finally, we present model enrichment massive spheroids, representing typical classical bulge.
