Ítem Atypical Mg-poor Milky Way Field Stars with Globular Cluster Second-generation-like Chemical Patterns(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017-09) Fernández-Trincado J.G.; Zamora O.; Garcia-Hernández D.A.; Souto, Diogo; Dell'Agli F.; Schiavon R.P.; Geisler D.; Tang B.; Villanova S.; Hasselquist, Sten; Mennickent R.E.; Cunha, Katia; Shetrone M.; Prieto, Carlos Allende; Vieira K.; Zasowski G.; Sobeck J.; Hayes C.R.; Majewski S.R.; Placco V.M.; Beers T.C.; Schleicher D.R.G.; Robin A.C.; Mészáros, Sz.; Masseron T.; Pérez, Ana E. Garcia; Anders F.; Meza A.; Alves-Brito A.; Carrera R.; Minniti D.; Lane R.R.; Fernández-Alvar E.; Moreno E.; Pichardo B.; Pérez-Villegas A.; Schultheis M.; Roman-Lopes A.; Fuentes C.E.; Nitschelm C.; Harding P.; Bizyaev D.; Pan K.; Oravetz D.; Simmons A.; Ivans, Inese; Blanco-Cuaresma S.; Hernández J.; Alonso-Garcia J.; Valenzuela O.; Chanamé J.We report the peculiar chemical abundance patterns of 11 atypical Milky Way (MW) field red giant stars observed by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). These atypical giants exhibit strong Al and N enhancements accompanied by C and Mg depletions, strikingly similar to those observed in the so-called second-generation (SG) stars of globular clusters (GCs). Remarkably, we find low Mg abundances ([Mg/Fe] < 0.0) together with strong Al and N overabundances in the majority (5/7) of the metal-rich ([Fe/H] -1.0) sample stars, which is at odds with actual observations of SG stars in Galactic GCs of similar metallicities. This chemical pattern is unique and unprecedented among MW stars, posing urgent questions about its origin. These atypical stars could be former SG stars of dissolved GCs formed with intrinsically lower abundances of Mg and enriched Al (subsequently self-polluted by massive AGB stars) or the result of exotic binary systems. We speculate that the stars Mg-deficiency as well as the orbital properties suggest that they could have an extragalactic origin. This discovery should guide future dedicated spectroscopic searches of atypical stellar chemical patterns in our Galaxy, a fundamental step forward to understanding the Galactic formation and evolution. © 2017.

We determined precise atmospheric parameters T eff = 3231 ±100 K, log g = 4.96 ±0.11 dex and chemical abundances of eight elements (C, O, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Ti, and Fe), finding Ross 128 to have near solar metallicity ([Fe/H] = +0.03 ± 0.09 dex). The derived results were obtained via spectral synthesis (1D LTE) adopting both MARCS and PHOENIX model atmospheres; stellar parameters and chemical abundances derived from the different adopted models do not show significant offsets. Mass-radius modeling of Ross 128b indicates that it lies below the pure-rock composition curve, suggesting that it contains a mixture of rock and iron, with the relative amounts of each set by the ratio of Fe/Mg. If Ross 128b formed with a subsolar Si abundance, and assuming the planet's composition matches that of the host star, it likely has a larger core size relative to the Earth despite this producing a planet with a Si/Mg abundance ratio ∼34% greater than the Sun. The derived planetary parameters - insolation flux (S Earth = 1.79 ±0.26) and equilibrium temperature (T eq = 294 ±10 K) - support previous findings that Ross 128b is a temperate exoplanet in the inner edge of the habitable zone. © 2018.

Our methodology adopts spectrum synthesis with LTE MARCS model atmospheres, along with the APOGEE Data Release 17 line list, to determine effective temperatures, surface gravities, metallicities, and projected rotational velocities. The median metallicity obtained for the Hyades M dwarfs is [M/H] = 0.09 ± 0.03 dex, indicating a small internal uncertainty and good agreement with optical results for Hyades red giants. Overall, the median radii are larger than predicted by stellar models by 1.6% ± 2.3% and 2.4% ± 2.3%, relative to a MIST and DARTMOUTH isochrone, respectively. We emphasize, however, that these isochrones are different, and the fractional radius inflation for the fully and partially convective regimes have distinct behaviors depending on the isochrone. Using a MIST isochrone there is no evidence of radius inflation for the fully convective stars, while for the partially convective M dwarfs the radii are inflated by 2.7% ± 2.1%, which is in agreement with predictions from models that include magnetic fields. For the partially convective stars, rapid rotators present on average higher inflation levels than slow rotators. The comparison with SPOTS isochrone models indicates that the derived M-dwarf radii can be explained by accounting for stellar spots in the photosphere of the stars, with 76% of the studied M dwarfs having up to 20% spot coverage, and the most inflated stars with ∼20%-40% spot coverage.
