8颗O型和b型恒星的化学丰度是由麦哲伦6.5米克莱望远镜上的MIKE仪器获得的高分辨率光谱确定的。该样本是从麦哲伦星系领头臂(LA)的42个候选成员中选出的。通过两个独立的模型大气网格和分析程序测量了恒星参数,证实了恒星参数结果的一致性。7种元素(He, C, N, O, Mg, Si和S)的丰度,以及它们的径向速度和距离和年龄的估计都被确定下来。在被分析的7颗b型恒星中,5颗与LA成员相匹配的径向速度的平均值[Mg/H]为- 0.42±0.16,显著低于其余两颗银河系盘运动成员的平均值[Mg/H] = - 0.07±0.06。在5个LA成员中,4个成员的个体[Mg/H]丰度与LMC一致。在误差范围内,我们不能排除这样一种可能性,即其中一颗恒星的[Mg/H]与更缺乏金属的类似smc的物质一致。剩下的第五颗恒星的[Mg/H]接近银河系的数值。与LA成员的距离表明它们位于银河系盘的边缘,而年龄在~ 50-70迈珥之间,低于LA的动力学年龄,表明LA中有一个单一的恒星形成时期。LA成员的VLSR随麦哲伦经度的减小而减小,证实了先前LA气体研究的结果。
Chemical abundances of eight O- and B-type stars are determined from high-resolution spectra obtained with the MIKE instrument on the Magellan 6.5 m Clay telescope. The sample is selected from 42 candidates for membership in the Leading Arm (LA) of the Magellanic System. Stellar parameters are measured by two independent grids of model atmospheres and analysis procedures, confirming the consistency of the stellar parameter results. Abundances of seven elements (He, C, N, O, Mg, Si, and S) are determined for the stars, as are their radial velocities and estimates of distances and ages. Among the seven B-type stars analyzed, the five that have radial velocities compatible with membership of the LA have an average [Mg/H] of −0.42 ± 0.16, significantly lower than the average of the remaining two, [Mg/H] = −0.07 ± 0.06, which are kinematical members of the Galactic disk. Among the five LA members, four have individual [Mg/H] abundance compatible with that in the LMC. Within errors, we cannot exclude the possibility that one of these stars has an [Mg/H] consistent with the more metal-poor, SMC-like material. The remaining fifth star has an [Mg/H] close to Milky Way values. Distances to the LA members indicate that they are at the edge of the Galactic disk, while ages are of the order of ∼50–70 Myr, lower than the dynamical age of the LA, suggesting a single star-forming episode in the LA. VLSR of the LA members decreases with decreasing Magellanic longitude, confirming the results of previous LA gas studies.
