Abstract
We present Keck/HIRES spectra of six metal-poor stars in two of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, Ursa Major II and Coma Berenices, and a Magellan/MIKE spectrum of a star in the classical dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) Sculptor. Our data include the first high-resolution spectroscopic observations of extremely metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] < −3.0) not belonging to the Milky Way (MW) stellar halo field population. We obtain abundance measurements and upper limits for up to 26 elements between carbon and europium. The stars span a range of −3.8
