摘要:

我们用高分辨率($R \sim 30000$)光谱测量了15颗富氮场星的20多种元素的化学丰度。我们发现富N场星的Na、Mg、Al、Si和Ca丰度与球状星团(GCs)中的恒星基本一致。估计有7颗恒星具有[Al/Fe $]>0.5$],这在大多数GC“第一代”恒星中是没有的。另一方面,$α$元素丰度(特别是Ti)可以显示出原位星和吸积星之间的明显差异。我们发现一颗有趣的恒星,它的[Mg/Fe],[Si/Fe],[Ca/Fe],[Ti/Fe],[Sc/Fe],[V/Fe],[Co/Fe]都很低,与溶解矮星系“$Gaia$ -Sausage-Enceladus”中的其他恒星具有相似的运动学和[Ba/Eu]。金属丰度为$-1.25 \le {\rm [Fe/H]} \le -0.95$的富N场星的$α$ -元素丰度和铁峰元素丰度与银河系场星的值一致,而不是矮星系的恒星,表明它们是就地形成的。此外,富N场星的中子俘获元素表明,它们中的大多数可以被质量在$3 - 5\, M_{\odot}$附近的渐近巨星分支(AGB)星富集。

英文摘要:

We measure chemical abundances for over 20 elements of 15 N-rich field stars with high resolution ($R \sim 30000$) optical spectra. We find that Na, Mg, Al, Si, and Ca abundances of our N-rich field stars are mostly consistent with those of stars from globular clusters (GCs). Seven stars are estimated to have [Al/Fe$]>0.5$, which is not found in most GC "first generation" stars. On the other hand, $α$ element abundances (especially Ti) could show distinguishable differences between in situ stars and accreted stars. We discover that one interesting star, with consistently low [Mg/Fe], [Si/Fe], [Ca/Fe], [Ti/Fe], [Sc/Fe], [V/Fe], and [Co/Fe], show similar kinematic and [Ba/Eu] as other stars from the dissolved dwarf galaxy "$Gaia$-Sausage-Enceladus". The $α$-element abundances and the iron-peak element abundances of the N-rich field stars with metallicities $-1.25 \le {\rm [Fe/H]} \le -0.95$ show consistent values with Milky Way field stars rather than stars from dwarf galaxies, indicating that they were formed in situ. In addition, the neutron capture elements of N-rich field stars show that most of them could be enriched by asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with masses around $3 - 5\, M_{\odot}$.
