A chemical abundance study of one red giant star in NGC 5694: a globular cluster with a dwarf spheroidal chemical signature?.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report an abundance analysis of one red giant branch star in the metal-poor outer halo globular cluster NGC 5694. We obtain [Fe/H]=-1.93 based on the ionized lines, and our metallicity measurement is in good agreement with previous estimates. We find that [Ca+Ti/2Fe] and [Cu/Fe] in NGC 5694 are about 0.3-0.4 dex lower than other globular clusters with similar metallicities, but similar to some LMC clusters and stars in some dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Differences persist, however, in the abundances of neutron-capture elements. The unique chemical abundance pattern and the large Galactocentric distance (30 kpc) and radial velocity (-138.6 ±1.0 km.s–1) indicate that NGC 5694 had an extragalactic origin.
