Descripción
We discuss abundances of alpha -elements in the ultra-metal-poor giants CS29498-043 and CS22949-037. The abundance of oxygen has been derived from measurements of the oxygen triplet at 7771-5 Å in high resolution and high S/N ratio near-IR spectra obtained with KeckI/HIRES. A detailed non-LTE analysis of Fe lines has been carried to provide more reliable stellar parameters. A non-LTE analysis of O and Mg allowed us to demonstrate the failure of standard 1D atmospheric models to describe the physical conditions in the line-forming regions of our targets.
