title = "Fluorine abundances in the galaxy",
abstract = "The astrophysical origins of the element fluorine remain uncertain due in part to the availability of just a small number of abundance results for this element, that has readily observable transitions only in the infrared via vibration-rotation lines of HF. In this paper, we discuss all the available Galactic fluorine abundances to date, and add results for field stars with metallicities between [Fe/H] = -0.5 and -1.0, plus two stars that are members of the Orion association. The fluorine abundances obtained for the young Orion members are found to be in agreement with the trend of [F/O] versus O observed for the disk and they are a good representation of the present day value in the Galactic disk.",
