Abstract:
    New high-resolution, very high signal-to-noise spectra of
    ultrametal-poor (UMP) giant stars HD 115444 and HD 122563 have been
    gathered with the High-Resolution Echelle Spectrometer of the McDonald
    Observatory 2.7 m telescope. With these spectra, line identification
    and model atmosphere analyses have been conducted, emphasizing the
    neutron-capture elements. Twenty elements with Z > 30 have been
    identified in the spectrum of HD 115444. This star is known to have
    overabundances of the neutron-capture elements, but it has lacked a
    detailed analysis necessary to compare with nucleosynthesis
    predictions. The new study features a line-by-line differential
    abundance comparison of HD 115444 with the bright, well-studied halo
    giant HD 122563.
