Abstract

We analyzed a sample of about 2500 stars extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with Teffin the range 4750÷6500 K and log g greater than 1.5. Atmospheric parameter estimates are obtained by comparing observed and synthetic spectral indices. The dependence of the α-enhancement phenomenon on stellar metallicity and on Galactic position is investigated.
