The Metallicity and Distance of Leo A from Blue Supergiants
We have obtained high-quality spectra of blue supergiant candidates in the dwarf irregular galaxy Leo A with the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer at the Keck I telescope. From the quantitative analysis of seven B8–A0 stars, we derive a mean metallicity [ Z ] = −1.35 ± 0.08, in excellent agreement...
