Résumé

Astrophysics Physics
From NLTE computations of the magnesium abundance in a sample of extremely metal-poor giants we derive [Mg/Fe]= 0.7, leading to [Al/Mg]=-0.80 and [Na/Mg]=-0.85 in the early Galaxy. The ratio [O/Mg] should be near to the solar value. Measurements of nitrogen abundances derived from the analysis of the NH band in eight more stars confirm the large scatter of the ratios [N/Fe] and [N/O] in the early Galaxy.
