Chemical abundances of primary stars in the Sirius-like binary systems. (2018)

Keywords : stars abundances - binaries: general - stars: chemically peculiar - stars: fundamental parameters - white dwarfs

Abstract:Study of primary stars lying in Sirius-like systems with various masses of white dwarf (WD) companions and orbital separations is one of the key aspects to understand the origin and nature of barium (Ba) stars. In this paper, based on high-resolution and high-S/N spectra, we present systematic analysis of photospheric abundances for 18 FGK primary stars of Sirius-like systems including six giants and 12 dwarfs. Atmospheric parameters, stellar masses, and abundances of 24 elements (C, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, and Nd) are determined homogeneously. The abundance patterns in these sample stars show that most of the elements in our sample follow the behaviour of field stars with ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
This paper presents a complete analysis of chemical abundances in a sample of 18 FGK stars belonging to binary systems with a white dwarf (Sirius-like systems). The purpose of the work is to compare the characteristics of those systems to try to understand what is necessary to produce a Ba-rich star. We show that the orbital separation of these systems is not important to determine whether a star becomes a Ba star. We also conclude that a companion white dwarf with a large mass is not enough to produce such objects either.
