    The central part of the Galaxy hosts a multitude of stellar populations, including the spheroidal bulge stars, stars moved to the bulge through secular evolution of the bar, inner halo, inner thick disc, inner thin disc, as well as debris from past accretion events. We identified a sample of 58 candidate stars belonging to the stellar population of the spheroidal bulge, and analyse their abundances. The present calculations of Mg, Ca, and Si lines are in agreement with the ASPCAP abundances, whereas abundances of C, N, O, and Ce are re-examined. We find normal α-element enhancements in oxygen, similar to magnesium, Si, and Ca abundances, which are typical of other bulge stars surveyed in the optical in Baade's Window. The enhancement of [O/Fe] in these stars suggests that they do not belong to accreted debris. No spread in N abundances is found, and none of the sample stars is N-rich, indicating that these stars are not second generation stars originated in globular clusters. Ce instead is enhanced in the sample stars, which points to an s-process origin such as due to enrichment from early generations of massive fast rotating stars, the so-called spinstars. © 2022 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.

    Gemini/Phoenix H -band analysis of the globular cluster AL 3
    (EDP Sciences, 2021-04-01) Barbuy, B.; Ernandes, H.; Souza, S. O.; Razera, R.; Moura, T.; Meléndez, J.; Pérez-Villegas, A.; Zoccali, M.; Minniti, D.; Dias, B.; Ortolani, S.; Bica, E.
    Context. The globular cluster AL 3 is old and located in the inner bulge. Three individual stars were observed with the Phoenix spectrograph at the Gemini South telescope. The wavelength region contains prominent lines of CN, OH, and CO, allowing the derivation of C, N, and O abundances of cool stars. Aims. We aim to derive C, N, O abundances of three stars in the bulge globular cluster AL 3, and additionally in stars of NGC 6558 and HP 1. The spectra of AL 3 allows us to derive the cluster's radial velocity. Methods. For AL 3, we applied a new code to analyse its colour-magnitude diagram. Synthetic spectra were computed and compared to observed spectra for the three clusters. Results. We present a detailed identification of lines in the spectral region centred at 15 555 Å, covering the wavelength range 15 525-15 590 Å. C, N, and O abundances are tentatively derived for the sample stars.
