HD209621: abundances of neutron-capture elements.

GOSWAMI A. and AOKI W.

Abstract (from CDS):

High-resolution spectra obtained from the Subaru Telescope High Dispersion Spectrograph have been used to update the stellar atmospheric parameters and metallicity of the star HD209621. We have derived a metallicity of [Fe/H] = -1.93 for this star, and have found a large enhancement of carbon and of heavy elements, with respect to iron. Updates on the elemental abundances of four s-process elements (Y, Ce, Pr, Nd) along with the first estimates of abundances for a number of other heavy elements (Sr, Zr, Ba, La, Sm, Eu, Er, Pb) are reported. The stellar atmospheric parameters, the effective temperature, Teff, and the surface gravity, logg (4500K, 2.0), are determined from local thermodynamic equilibrium analysis using model atmospheres. Estimated [Ba/Eu] = +0.35, places the star in the group of CEMP-(r+s) stars; however, the s-elements abundance pattern seen in HD209621 is characteristic of CH stars; notably, the second-peak s-process elements are more enhanced than the first-peak s-process elements. HD209621 is also found to show a large enhancement of the third-peak s-process element lead (Pb) with [Pb/Fe] = +1.88. The relative contributions of the two neutron-capture processes, r and s, to the observed abundances are examined using a parametric model-based analysis, which hints that the neutron-capture elements in HD209621 primarily originate in s-process.
