WISE J072543.88-235119.7 line abundances

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The lithium abundance in turnoff stars of the old population of our Galaxy is remarkably constant in the metallicity interval -2.8<[Fe/H]<-2.0, defining a plateau.

Description

The Li abundance of these turnoff stars is clearly lower than the abundance predicted by the primordial nucleosynthesis in the frame of the standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Different scenarios have been proposed for explaining this discrepancy, along with the very low scatter of the lithium abundance around the plateau.

The recently identified very high velocity star, WISE.J0725.2351 appears to belong to the old Galactic population, and appears to be an extreme halo star on a bound, retrograde Galactic orbit. In this paper, we study the abundance ratios and, in particular the lithium abundance, in this star. The available spectra (ESO-Very Large Telescope) are analyzed and the abundances of Li, C, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Sr and Ba are determined.
