Detection of fluorine in the halo planetary nebula BoBn 1: evidence for a binary progenitor star.

Abstract (from CDS):

We have found the fluorine lines [F IV] λλ3996.92, 4059.90 in the extremely metal-poor ([Ar/H] = -2.10±0.21) halo planetary nebula (PN) BoBn 1 in high-dispersion spectra from the 8.2 m VLT UVES archive. Chemical abundance analysis shows that the fluorine abundance is [F/H] = +1.06±0.08, making BoBn 1 the most fluorine-enhanced and metal-poor PN among fluorine-detected PNe and providing new evidence that fluorine is enhanced by nucleosynthesis in low-mass metal-poor stars. A comparison with the abundances of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars suggests that BoBn 1 shares their origin and evolution with CEMP-s stars such as HE 1305+0132. BoBn 1 might have evolved from a binary consisting of ∼2 M primary and ∼0.8 M secondary stars.
