We present the values of CN and Mg overabundances with respect to Fe, for a large sample of elliptical galaxies in different environments. Abundances were derived by confronting observed absorption line indices with stellar population model spectra. We obtained significant differences between the [CN/Fe] and [Mg/Fe] abundance ratios as a functions

We present non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (non-LTE) calculations for neutral carbon spectral line formation, carried out for a grid of model atmospheres covering the range of late-type stars. The results of our detailed calculations suggest that the carbon non-LTE corrections in these stars are higher than usually adopted, remaining

CASPER (Concordia Atmospheric SPectroscopy of Emitted Radiation) is a spectrometer proposed for installation at Dome C, devoted to measurements of atmospheric emission in the spectral region between 180 μm and 3 mm (3 55 cm-1). This instrument will be able to perform continuous spectral sampling at different altitudes at angular scales of 1°. From
