Yusen Li, Kenneth Freeman, Helmut Jerjen, Sven Buder, Michael Hayden, Ankita Mondal

AI总结:

本研究通过分析GALAH和APOGEE的元素丰度数据,发现武仙座运动学星群的化学特征支持其起源于银河系内的外棒区域,且该星群由内银河恒星经动力学机制输送至太阳邻域形成。

摘要:

武仙座运动学星群是在太阳邻域(SNd)观测到的恒星运动学异常结构。在本系列论文中,我们对该结构开展了全面研究,本文重点关注其在多类元素上的化学特征,下一篇论文将讨论其运动学性质。\n尽管已有研究因武仙座恒星独特的化学与运动学特征,提出其并非起源于本地,但此前的研究主要聚焦于铁丰度。我们采用来自GALAH和APOGEE的元素丰度化学数据,以进一步探究与起源相关的化学线索。\n分析显示,与运动学上的局域恒星相比,低角动量武仙座星群的低α元素族群,其铁峰元素(Fe、Ni、Mn)和奇原子序数元素(Na、Al)的丰度显著升高,而α元素(O、Ca、Ti)的丰度略有偏低。铁峰元素的超高丰度与α元素的偏低丰度,支持它们起源于银河系内部的外薄棒。此外,Na和Al的丰度升高表明,这些恒星是内厚盘老星序中最年轻的恒星。因此,这些恒星的起源与外棒区域相关。\n这些化学特征表明,形成武仙座星群的潜在动力学机制,必须能够将银河系内部的恒星输送到太阳邻域。下一篇论文将把特洛伊轨道作为该机制的首选方案展开讨论。

英文摘要:

The Hercules kinematic group is a kinematic anomaly of stars observed in the solar neighbourhood (SNd). In this series of papers, we present a comprehensive study of this structure. This paper focuses on its chemical signatures over several groups of elements. The next paper discusses its kinematical properties. While studies suggested a non-native origin of Hercules stars due to the distinct chemical and kinematic features, previous studies focussed mainly on the Fe abundances. We adopt chemical data with abundances of elements from GALAH and APOGEE to seek further chemical implications on the origin. Our analysis reveals that the low alpha population of the low angular momentum Hercules group is significantly enhanced in iron-peak (Fe, Ni, Mn) and Odd-Z (Na, Al) elements, and slightly deficient in alpha elements (O, Ca, Ti) compared to kinematically local stars. The super enhancement in iron-peak elements and deficiency in alpha elements support their origin from the outer thin bar in the inner Galaxy. Moreover, the enhancement in Na and Al indicates these stars as the youngest stars in the old sequence from the inner thick disc. Hence, the origin of these stars can be related to the outer bar region. These chemical signatures require the underlying dynamical mechanism that forms the Hercules group to be capable of transporting stars in the inner Galaxy out to the SNd. The next paper will consider the Trojan orbits as the favoured mechanism.
