THE 1ST DETAILED ABUNDANCE ANALYSIS OF GALACTIC BULGE-K GIANTS IN BAADE WINDOW

We report analysis of echelle spectra (R = 17,000, S/N almost-equal-to 50) of 12 Galactic bulge K giants in Baade's window from the sample of Rich ( 1988). We perform an abundance analysis for 11 stars ranging from [Fe/H] = -1 to [Fe/H] = 0.45. The accuracy of our abundance scale is confirmed relative to the disk super-metal-rich stars via the metal-rich giant mu Leonis, and to the Galactic globular clusters using a star in NGC 5927.
