摘要:

最近发现的Indus恒星流与大多数其他恒星流相比,由于Indus $\_$ 0和Indus $\_$ 13这两颗离群恒星的丰度,呈现出多样化的化学特征。Indus $\_$ 13在快速中子捕获($r$ -)过程元素中表现出极大的增强作用,其中包含$\mathrm{[Eu/Fe]} = +1.81$。因此,它提供了$r$过程增强恒星吸积性质的直接证据。在本文中,我们提出了一个详细的化学分析的中子捕获元素在印度$\_$ 13,揭示了恒星是轻微的锕系贫乏。另一个异常值,印度河$\_0$,显示了一个球状星团样的签名与高N,Na和Al丰度,而其余的印度河恒星显示丰度兼容的矮星系起源。因此,印度河$\_0$提供了第一个包含球状星团的完全破裂矮星的化学证据。我们使用的化学签名的印度河恒星讨论流祖的性质,这可能是一个化学进化的系统,与质量的范围从小熊座到天炉座。

英文摘要:

The recently discovered Indus stellar stream exhibits a diverse chemical signature compared to what is found for most other streams due to the abundances of two outlier stars, Indus$\_$0 and Indus$\_$13. Indus$\_$13, exhibits an extreme enhancement in rapid neutron-capture ($r$-)process elements with $\mathrm{[Eu/Fe]} = +1.81$. It thus provides direct evidence of the accreted nature of $r$-process enhanced stars. In this paper we present a detailed chemical analysis of the neutron-capture elements in Indus$\_$13, revealing the star to be slightly actinide poor. The other outlier, Indus$\_0$, displays a globular cluster-like signature with high N, Na, and Al abundances, while the rest of the Indus stars show abundances compatible with a dwarf galaxy origin. Hence, Indus$\_0$ provides the first chemical evidence of a fully disrupted dwarf containing a globular cluster. We use the chemical signature of the Indus stars to discuss the nature of the stream progenitor which was likely a chemically evolved system, with a mass somewhere in the range from Ursa Minor to Fornax.
