Barium abundance in the central part of the dSph Fornax galaxy
  We revisited barium abundance in a sample of giant stars in the dwarf
spheroidal Fornax galaxy. Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) synthesis
was used to derive the barium abundance from two Ba II lines. Our new NLTE
result for barium shows that in the range of metallicities from -1 to -0.5 the
abundance of this element is almost the same as in the stars of the Milky Way.
We conclude that the evolution of barium abundance in the dSph Fornax galaxy
resembles that of the Milky Way at the epoch of the corresponding metallicity
level.
