Abstract
High resolution spectra of a magnified bulge star were obtained at the 8 m Kueyen VLT-UT2 telescope with the UVES spectrograph. The source is a bulge giant of baseline magnitude $V_{\rm EROS} = 18.4$, magnified to $V \approx 18.0$. These data allow us to derive the stellar parameters of effective temperature $T_{\rm eff} \sim 3800$ K, gravity log  $g \sim 1.0$, reddening $E(B-V) \sim 0.7$, metallicity and and [O/Fe] $\approx$ 0.0 for EROS-BLG-2000-5. The giant appears to be located in the far side of the bulge.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
