Abundances of metal-poor stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The study of old, metal-poor stars deepens our knowledge on the early stages of the universe.

Description

In particular, the study of these stars gives us a valuable insight into the masses of the first massive stars and their emission of ionising photons. We present a detailed chemical analysis and determination of the kinematic and orbital properties of a sample of 11 dwarf stars.

These are metal-poor stars, and a few of them present a low lithium content. We inspected whether the other elements also present anomalies. We analysed the high-resolution UVES spectra of a few metal-poor stars using the Turbospectrum code to synthesise spectral lines profiles.

This allowed us to derive a detailed chemical analysis of Fe, C, Li, Na, Mg, Al, Si, CaI, CaII, ScII, TiII, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Sr, and Ba. We find excellent coherence with the reference metal-poor First Stars sample. The lithium-poor stars do not present any anomaly of the abundance of the elements other than lithium.

Among the Li-poor stars, we show that CS 22882-027 is very probably a blue-straggler. The star CS 30302-145, which has a Li abundance compatible with the plateau, has a very low Si abundance and a high Mn abundance. In many aspects, it is similar to the {alpha}-poor star HE 1424-0241, but it is less extreme.

It could have been formed in a satellite galaxy and later been accreted by our Galaxy. This hypothesis is also supported by its kinematics.
