S2流是一种运动学上的冷流,它穿过银河盘向下俯冲。它可能是被称为赫尔米流的更热、更弥漫的结构的一部分。我们介绍了一种使用高分辨率和低分辨率光谱对贫金属S2流中的恒星进行多仪器化学分析的方法,并补充了对档案数据的重新分析,得到了总共62个S2成员的样本。我们的高分辨率程序为S2对象的一个子样本提供了α元素(C、Mg、Si、Ca和Ti)、铁峰元素(V、Cr、Mn、Fe、Ni)、n捕获过程元素(Sr、Ba)和其他元素,如Li、Na、Al和Sc。我们报告了一个大的金属丰度分布(∼1 dex)上的相干丰度模式,证实了S2流是由一个破裂的矮星系产生的。S_2‘Sα元素的组合随金属丰度的增加呈轻微下降的趋势,可初步解释为[Fe/H]<−_2的“膝部”。在低金属丰度端,S_2中的n俘获元素可能以r过程产物为主;然而,有几颗星是Ba增强的,但在锶中异常贫化。此外,一些低[Fe/H]星似乎是碳增强的。我们借助化学演化模型解释了观测到的丰度模式,这些模式表明需要适度的恒星形成效率和低的风效率,证实了S2的前身是一个原始的矮星系。
The S2 stream is a kinematically cold stream that is plunging downwards through the Galactic disc. It may be part of a hotter and more diffuse structure called the Helmi stream. We present a multi-instrument chemical analysis of the stars in the metal-poor S2 stream using both high- and low-resolution spectroscopy, complemented with a re-analysis of the archival data to give a total sample of 62 S2 members. Our high-resolution program provides α-elements (C, Mg, Si, Ca, and Ti), iron-peak elements (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni), n-capture process elements (Sr, Ba), and other elements such as Li, Na, Al, and Sc for a subsample of S2 objects. We report coherent abundance patterns over a large metallicity spread (∼1 dex) confirming that the S2 stream was produced by a disrupted dwarf galaxy. The combination of S2’s α-elements displays a mildly decreasing trend with increasing metallicity, which can be tentatively interpreted as a ‘knee’ at [Fe/H] < −2. At the low-metallicity end, the n-capture elements in S2 may be dominated by r-process production; however, several stars are Ba-enhanced but unusually poor in Sr. Moreover, some of the low-[Fe/H] stars appear to be carbon-enhanced. We interpret the observed abundance patterns with the help of chemical evolution models that demonstrate the need for modest star formation efficiency and low wind efficiency confirming that the progenitor of S2 was a primitive dwarf galaxy.
