Accepted for publication in MNRAS", "categories": [ "astro-ph.SR" ], "abstract": "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 HD 209621. 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, log g (4500 K, 2.0), are determined from LTE 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 HD 209621 is characteristic of CH stars; notably, the 2nd-peak s-process elements are more enhanced than the first peak s-process elements. HD 209621 is also found to show a large enhancement of the 3rd-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, that hints that the neutron-capture elements in HD 209621 primarily originate in s-process.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-02-24T07:07:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "neutron-capture elements", "stellar atmospheric parameters", "subaru telescope high dispersion spectrograph", "first peak s-process elements", "heavy elements" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16265.x", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2010, "month": "May", "volume": 404, "number": 1, "pages": 253 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 846519, "adsabs": "2010MNRAS.404..253G" } } }
