Oxygen Abundances in Unevolved Metal-poor Stars from Near-Ultraviolet OH Lines
We have performed a detailed oxygen abundance analysis of 23 metal-poor (-3.0 [Fe/H] -0.3) unevolved halo stars and one giant through the OH bands in the near UV, using high-resolution echelle spectra. Oxygen is found to be overabundant with respect to iron in these stars, with the [O/Fe] ratio increasing from 0.6 to 1 between [Fe/H] = -1.5 and
