Detailed analysis of r-II stars Universal pattern 56<Z<72 Th, (and U) line was detected. age determination Sneden et al. 2003 Hill et al. 2002 Christlieb et al. 2004 CS22892-052 CS31082-001 CS29497-004 Frebel et al. 2007 HE1593-0901 decayed

Multiple r-process sites Some metal-poor stars show a significantly different abundance pattern from that of the solar system r- process abundance pattern. This results support the existence of two process (main and weak r-process). Sneden et al. 2000 Honda et al. 2007 CS22892-052 HD122563 HD88609

r-II stars discovered by HERES ← s-process rich stars are also included. follow-up observations are required. Barklem et al. 2005 Hamburg/ESO R-process Enhanced Star survey

17
Th/Eu as a function of [Fe/H] The ratio of Th/Eu show scatter. The width of the scatter is not so large. CS22892-052 CS31082-001 CS30306-132 initial Th/Eu Sneden et al. 2003 HE1523-0901 HE0432-0923
18
Summary and future work We confirmed that those objects are r-II stars. r-II stars exist only in the region of -2.4 < [Fe/H] < -3.2. These objects are in agreement with the solar r -process pattern. No weak r-process. The ratio of Th/Eu shows scatter. Remove the sky-background in the spectra of HE0432-0923 completely. Determine the upper limit of U 、 Pb abundances. More telescope time in dark night. The number of samples is increased. SEGUE, LAMOST, etc.
