Spectroscopy obs. of RAVE J094921.8-161722
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present a high-resolution (R~35000), high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N>200) Magellan/MIKE spectrum of the star RAVE J094921.8-161722, a bright (V=11.3) metal-poor red giant star with [Fe/H]=-2.2, identified as a carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) star from the RAVE survey.
Description
We report its detailed chemical abundance signature of light fusion elements and heavy neutron-capture elements. We find J0949-1617 to be a CEMP star with s-process enhancement that must have formed from gas enriched by a prior r-process event.
Light neutron-capture elements follow a low-metallicity s-process pattern, while the heavier neutron-capture elements above Eu follow an r-process pattern. The Pb abundance is high, in line with an s-process origin. Thorium is also detected, as expected from an r-process origin, as Th is not produced in the s-process.

We employ nucleosynthesis model predictions that take an initial r-process enhancement into account, and then determine the mass transfer of carbon and s-process material from a putative more massive companion onto the observed star. The resulting abundances agree well with the observed pattern. We conclude that J0949-1617 is the first bonafide CEMP-r+s star identified.
This class of objects has previously been suggested to explain stars with neutron-capture element patterns that originate from neither the r- nor the s-process alone. We speculate that J0949-1617 formed in an environment similar to those of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies like TucanaIII and ReticulumII, which were enriched in r-process elements by one or multiple neutron star mergers at the earliest times.
