Query: Sulphur and zinc abundances in Galactic stars and damped Lyman-alpha
  systems   High resolution spectra of 34 halo population dwarf and subgiant stars have
been obtained with VLT/UVES and used to derive sulphur abundances from the
8694.0, 8694.6 A and 9212.9, 9237.5 A SI lines. In addition, iron abundances
have been determined from 19 FeII lines and zinc abundances from the 4722.2,
4810.5 ZnI lines. The abundances are based on a classical 1D, LTE model
atmosphere analysis, but effects of 3D hydrodynamical modelling on the [S/Fe],
[Zn/Fe] and [S/Zn] ratios are shown to be small. We find that most halo stars
with metallicities in the range -3.2 < [Fe/H] < -0.8 have a near-constant
[S/Fe] = +0.3; a least square fit to [S/Fe] vs. {Fe/H] shows a slope of only
-0.04 +/- 0.01. Among halo stars with -1.2 < [Fe/H] < -0.8 the majority have
[S/Fe] ~ +0.3, but two stars (previously shown to have low [alpha/Fe] ratios)
have [S/Fe] ~ 0. For disk stars with [Fe/H] > -1, [S/Fe] decreases with
increasing [Fe/H]. Hence, sulphur behaves like other typical alpha-capture
elements, Mg, Si and Ca. Zinc, on the other hand, traces iron over three orders
of magnitude in [Fe/H], although there is some evidence for a small systematic
Zn overabundance ([Zn/Fe] ~ +0.1) among metal-poor disk stars and for halo
stars with [Fe/H] < -2.0. Recent measurements of S and Zn in ten damped
Ly-alpha systems (DLAs) with redshifts between 1.9 and 3.4 and zinc abundances
in the range -2.1 < [Zn/H] < -0.15 show an offset relative to the [S/Zn] -
[Zn/H] relation in Galactic stars. Possible reasons for this offset are
discussed, including low and intermittent star formation rates in DLAs.
