A holistic approach to carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars
Context. Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars are known to haveproperties that reflect the nucleosynthesis of the first low- andintermediate-mass stars, because most have been polluted by anow-extinct AGB star. Aims: By considering abundances in thevarious CEMP subclasses separately, we try to derive parameters (such asmetallicity, mass, temperature, and neutron source) characterising AGBnucleosynthesis from the specific signatures imprinted on theabundances, and separate them from the impact of thermohaline mixing,first dredge-up, and dilution associated with the mass transfer from thecompanion. Methods: To place CEMP stars in a broader context, wecollect abundances for about 180 stars of various metallicities (fromsolar to [Fe/H] =-4), luminosity classes (dwarfs and giants), andabundance patterns (e.g. C-rich and poor, Ba-rich and poor), from bothour own sample and the literature. Results: We first show thatthere are CEMP stars that share the properties of CEMP-s stars andCEMP-no stars (which we refer to as CEMP-low-s stars). We also show thatthere is a strong correlation between Ba and C abundances in the s-onlyCEMP stars. This represents a strong detection of the operation of the13C neutron source in low-mass AGB stars. For the CEMP-rsstars (seemingly enriched with elements from both the s- andr-processes), the correlation of the N abundances with abundances ofheavy elements from the 2nd and 3rd s-process peaks bears instead thesignature of the 22Ne neutron source. Since CEMP-rs starsalso exhibit O and Mg enhancements, we conclude that extremely hotconditions prevailed during the thermal pulses of the contaminating AGBstars. We also note that abundances are not affected by the evolution ofthe CEMP-rs star itself (especially by the first dredge-up). Thisimplies that mixing must have occurred while the star was on the mainsequence, and that a large amount of matter must have been accreted soas to trigger thermohaline mixing. Finally, we argue that most CEMP-nostars (with neutron-capture element abundances comparable to non-CEMPstars) are likely the extremely metal-poor counterparts of CEMPneutron-capture-rich stars. We also show that the C enhancement inCEMP-no stars declines with metallicity at extremely low metallicity([Fe/H] < -3.2). This trend is not predicted by any of the currentAGB models.Tables 1-4 are only available in electronic form at http://www.aanda.org
| High-resolution spectroscopic observations of two chemically peculiar metal-poor stars: HD 10613 and BD+04°2466
Aims: We determined the atmospheric parameters and abundance pattern oftwo chemically peculiar metal-poor stars: HD 10613 and BD+04°2466 inorder to better understand their evolutionary state and the nature ofthe s-element enhancement of these stars. Methods: We used highresolution optical spectroscopy. Atmospheric parameters and abundanceswere determined in the local-thermodynamic-equilibrium model atmospheresof Kurucz using the spectral analysis code MOOG. Results: Weconclude that HD 10613 is another metal-poor barium star with C/O = 0.52and [Fe/H] = -0.82, while BD+04°2466 is a CH star with C/O = 3.6 and[Fe/H] = -1.92 rather than a metal-deficient barium star as it waspreviously classified. BD+04°2466 appears to be enriched in leadwith [Pb/Ce] = +0.85 and [Pb/La] = +0.72. For BD+04°2466 theabundance of lead is in agreement with predictions from AGB models. Dueto the low luminosity of these two stars, their observed s-processoverabundance is better explained by mass-transfer in the past from anAGB star.Based on observations made with the 1.52 m and 2.2 m telescope at theEuropean Southern Observatory (La Silla, Chile).
| High-Resolution Spectroscopic Observations of Four Yellow-Type Symbiotic Stars: CD-43°14304, Hen 3-1213, Hen 3-863, and StH? 176
We report on the analysis of high-resolution optical spectra of foursymbiotic stars CD-43°14304, Hen 3-863, Hen 3-1213, andStH?176. The chemical composition of the atmospheres of theinvestigated stars shows that they are all metal-poor K giants withmetallicities around [Fe/H] ? -1.0. All stars show anenrichment of the elements created by slow neutron-capture reactions.The luminosities obtained for the symbiotic star CD-43°14304 andprobably for Hen 3-1213 are below those of the asymptotic giant branch(AGB) stars that started helium-burning (via thermal pulses) and becameself-enriched in the neutron-capture elements. Therefore, theirabundance peculiarities are due to mass transfer from the previousthermally pulsing AGB star (now the white dwarf), overabundant ins-process elements. For the stars Hen 3-863 and StH?176, theuncertainties due to the distance (and interstellar absorption as well)prevent a reliable determination of the luminosity. The heavy-elementabundance distribution of these four analyzed symbiotics is similar tothat of the three symbiotics previously analyzed (AG Dra,BD-21°3873, and Hen 2-467). Finally, their general abundance patternfollows the halo standard abundance.Based on the observations made with the 2.2 m telescope at the EuropeanSouthern Observatory (La Silla, Chile).
| Light Element Abundances in Two Chemically Peculiar Stars: HD 104340 and HD 206983
We derive carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and lithium abundances as well as12C/13C isotopic ratios in two chemically peculiarred giant stars: HD 104340 and HD 206983. The abundances were determinedvia spectrum synthesis of optical high-resolution spectra containingC2, CH, CN, [O I], and Li I lines. Our results indicate thatHD 206983 is a barium star, while HD 104340, although showingenhancements of s-process elements, should not be considered as aclassical barium star: its barium star nature can be explained byinternal nucleosynthesis. The low metallicity giant HD 104340 canexperience deeper convective mixing and, consequently, a largerdredge-up of CNO-cycle products compared to normal red giants. The lightelement abundance pattern of HD 104340 resembles anomalies resultingfrom the appearance on the stellar surface of material enriched bytriple-α and CNO cycling.Based on the observations made with the 1.52 m telescope at the EuropeanSouthern Observatory (La Silla, Chile) under the agreement withObservatório Nacional (Brazil).
| Proper-motion binaries in the Hipparcos catalogue. Comparison with radial velocity data
Context: .This paper is the last in a series devoted to the analysis ofthe binary content of the Hipparcos Catalogue. Aims: .Thecomparison of the proper motions constructed from positions spanning ashort (Hipparcos) or long time (Tycho-2) makes it possible to uncoverbinaries with periods of the order of or somewhat larger than the shorttime span (in this case, the 3 yr duration of the Hipparcos mission),since the unrecognised orbital motion will then add to the propermotion. Methods: .A list of candidate proper motion binaries isconstructed from a carefully designed χ2 test evaluatingthe statistical significance of the difference between the Tycho-2 andHipparcos proper motions for 103 134 stars in common between the twocatalogues (excluding components of visual systems). Since similar listsof proper-motion binaries have already been constructed, the presentpaper focuses on the evaluation of the detection efficiency ofproper-motion binaries, using different kinds of control data (mostlyradial velocities). The detection rate for entries from the NinthCatalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (S_B^9) is evaluated, as wellas for stars like barium stars, which are known to be all binaries, andfinally for spectroscopic binaries identified from radial velocity datain the Geneva-Copenhagen survey of F and G dwarfs in the solarneighbourhood. Results: .Proper motion binaries are efficientlydetected for systems with parallaxes in excess of ~20 mas, and periodsin the range 1000-30 000 d. The shortest periods in this range(1000-2000 d, i.e., once to twice the duration of the Hipparcos mission)may appear only as DMSA/G binaries (accelerated proper motion in theHipparcos Double and Multiple System Annex). Proper motion binariesdetected among S_B9 systems having periods shorter than about400 d hint at triple systems, the proper-motion binary involving acomponent with a longer orbital period. A list of 19 candidate triplesystems is provided. Binaries suspected of having low-mass(brown-dwarf-like) companions are listed as well. Among the 37 bariumstars with parallaxes larger than 5 mas, only 7 exhibit no evidence forduplicity whatsoever (be it spectroscopic or astrometric). Finally, thefraction of proper-motion binaries shows no significant variation amongthe various (regular) spectral classes, when due account is taken forthe detection biases.Full Table [see full textsee full text] is only available in electronicform at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5)or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/464/377

| On metal-deficient barium stars and their link with yellow symbiotic stars
This paper addresses the question of why metal-deficient barium starsare not yellow symbiotic stars (YSyS). Samples of (suspected)metal-deficient barium (mdBa) stars and YSyS have been collected fromthe literature, and their properties reviewed. It appears in particularthat the barium nature of the suspected mdBa stars needs to beascertained by detailed abundance analyses. Abundances are thereforederived for two of them, HD 139409 and HD 148897, which reveal that HD148897 should not be considered a barium star. HD 139409 is a mildbarium star, with overabundances observed only for elements belonging tothe first s-process peak (Y and Zr). It is only moderately metal-poor([Fe/H] = -0.4). The evidence for binarity among mdBa stars is thenreviewed, using three different methods: (i) radial-velocity variations(from CORAVEL observations), (ii) Hipparcos astrometric data, and (iii)a method based on the comparison between the Hipparcos and Tycho-2proper motions. An orbit is obtained for HIP 55852, whereas evidence forthe (so far unknown) binary nature of HIP 34795, HIP 76605, HIP 97874and HIP 107478 is presented. No conclusion regarding the binary natureof HIP 11595, HIP 25161 could be reached. Two stars with no evidence forbinarity whatsoever (HIP 58596 and BD +3°2688) are candidateslow-metallicity thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars, asinferred from their large luminosities. The reason why mdBa stars arenot YSyS is suggested to lie in their different orbital perioddistributions: mdBa stars have on average longer orbital periods thanYSyS, and hence their companion accretes matter at a lower rate, for agiven mass loss rate of the giant star. The definite validation of thisexplanation should nevertheless await the determination of the orbitalperiods for the many mdBa stars still lacking periods, in order to makethe comparison more significant.
| Spectroscopic Verification of Barium Dwarf Candidates: The Analysis of HD 8270, HD 13551, and HD 22589
This work presents the abundance patterns of three barium dwarfcandidates, HD 8270, HD 13551, and HD 22589, based on high-resolutionoptical spectra. This work also reports the spectroscopic stellarparameters, temperature, and microturbulent velocity, as well as thestellar surface gravity from a solution of excitation and ionizationequilibria of Fe I and Fe II lines under the assumption of localthermodynamic equilibrium. The abundance analysis reveals that HD 8270,HD 13551, and HD 22589 have metallicities of [Fe/H]=-0.43, -0.28, and-0.12, respectively. It was found that the abundances of iron group andα-elements follow the abundance pattern of a disk population. Theheavy-element abundance patterns of the three stars show enhancements bya factor of 4-8 with respect to the Sun. The abundances of the s-processelements are discussed and compared with other barium giants and dwarfsthrough diagrams involving the indices [hs/ls] and [s/Fe]. Themetallicity distribution of barium giants and dwarfs is also discussed.Based on observations made with the 1.52 m telescope at the EuropeanSouthern Observatory (La Silla, Chile) under agreement withObservatório Nacional (Brazil).
| The Abundance Pattern of Two Barium Stars in the Galactic Halo: HD 104340 and HD 206983
We present the abundance pattern of two barium stars in the Galactichalo, HD 104340 and HD 206983, based on high-resolution optical spectra.We also determined the spectroscopic stellar atmospheric parameters,temperature, and microturbulent velocity, as well as stellar surfacegravity from a solution of excitation and ionization equilibria of Fe Iand Fe II lines under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium.The abundance analysis reveals HD 104340 to be a metal-poor K giant with[Fe/H]=-1.72 and HD 206983 also a metal-poor K giant with [Fe/H]=-1.43.From a set of Fe I lines, the radial velocity is found to be 263.3+/-0.6km s-1 and -319.2+/-4.4 km s-1 for HD 104340 andHD 206983, respectively. Their high velocity, low metallicity, and highgalactic latitude imply that both stars are members of a Galactic halopopulation. From our study and by using information from the literaturewe believe that HD 206983 is another member of a group known asmetal-deficient barium stars. We compare the abundance pattern with theabundances of a halo population. We found that the abundances of theiron group, α-elements, manganese, copper, and zinc, as well assodium and magnesium, of HD 104340 and HD 206983 follow the abundancepattern of a halo population. The heavy element abundance pattern ofboth stars shows enhancement by a factor of 4-8 with respect to themetal-poor stars with the same metallicity as that analyzed by us. Wealso discuss the abundances of the s-process elements and compare ourresults with other objects that display the same degree of enrichmentdue to neutron capture reactions, binary systems, and AGB stars, througha diagram of metallicity versus neutron exposure given by the [hs/ls]index.

| Barium stars, galactic populations and evolution.
In this paper HIPPARCOS astrometric and kinematical data together withradial velocities from other sources are used to calibrate bothluminosity and kinematics parameters of Ba stars and to classify them.We confirm the results of our previous paper (where we used data fromthe HIPPARCOS Input Catalogue), and show that Ba stars are aninhomogeneous group. Five distinct classes have been found i.e. somehalo stars and four groups belonging to disk population: roughlysuper-giants, two groups of giants (one on the giant branch, the otherat the clump location) and dwarfs, with a few subgiants mixed with them.The confirmed or suspected duplicity, the variability and the range ofknown orbital periods found in each group give coherent resultssupporting the scenario for Ba stars that are not too highly massivebinary stars in any evolutionary stages but that all were previouslyenriched with Ba from a more evolved companion. The presence in thesample of a certain number of ``false'' Ba stars is confirmed. Theestimates of age and mass are compatible with models for stars with astrong Ba anomaly. The mild Ba stars with an estimated mass higher than3Msun_ may be either stars Ba enriched by themselves or``true'' Ba stars, which imposes new constraints on models.
| Absolute magnitudes and kinematics of barium stars.
The absolute magnitude of barium stars has been obtained fromkinematical data using a new algorithm based on the maximum-likelihoodprinciple. The method allows to separate a sample into groupscharacterized by different mean absolute magnitudes, kinematics andz-scale heights. It also takes into account, simultaneously, thecensorship in the sample and the errors on the observables. The methodhas been applied to a sample of 318 barium stars. Four groups have beendetected. Three of them show a kinematical behaviour corresponding todisk population stars. The fourth group contains stars with halokinematics. The luminosities of the disk population groups spread alarge range. The intrinsically brightest one (M_v_=-1.5mag,σ_M_=0.5mag) seems to be an inhomogeneous group containing bariumbinaries as well as AGB single stars. The most numerous group (about 150stars) has a mean absolute magnitude corresponding to stars in the redgiant branch (M_v_=0.9mag, σ_M_=0.8mag). The third group containsbarium dwarfs, the obtained mean absolute magnitude is characteristic ofstars on the main sequence or on the subgiant branch (M_v_=3.3mag,σ_M_=0.5mag). The obtained mean luminosities as well as thekinematical results are compatible with an evolutionary link betweenbarium dwarfs and classical barium giants. The highly luminous group isnot linked with these last two groups. More high-resolutionspectroscopic data will be necessary in order to better discriminatebetween barium and non-barium stars.

| Classification of Population II Stars in the Vilnius Photometric System. I. Methods
The methods used for classification of Population II stars in theVilnius photometric system are described. An extensive set of standardswith known astrophysical parameters compiled from the literature sourcesis given. These standard stars are classified in the Vilnius photometricsystem using the methods described. The accuracy of classification isevaluated by a comparison of the astrophysical parameters derived fromthe Vilnius photometric system with those estimated from spectroscopicstudies as well as from photometric data in other systems. For dwarfsand subdwarfs, we find a satisfactory agreement between our reddeningsand those estimated in the uvbyscriptstyle beta system. The standarddeviation of [Fe/H] deter mined in the Vilnius system is about 0.2 dex.The absolute magnitude for dwarfs and subdwarfs is estimated with anaccuracy of scriptstyle <=0.5 mag.
| UBV photometry of barium stars
Magnitudes in V and B-V and U-B colors observed by the 91-cm telescopeat Okayama are presented for 109 stars including both classical andmarginal barium stars. The two-color diagram shows a fair amount ofspread. This can be interpreted by interstellar reddening and variableamounts of line blocking effect. Both classical and marginal bariumstars form a fairly homogeneous group.
| Taxonomy of barium stars
Spectral classification, barium intensity, radial velocity, luminosity,and kinematical properties are determined for 389 barium stars byanalyzing image-tube spectra and photometric observation data. Diskkinematics for the stars are based on whether they are Ba weak or Bastrong. Weak barium stars in general have smaller velocity dispersions,brighter apparent magnitude, and lower luminosity than strong bariumstars. These characteristics are confirmed by solving for meanspectroscopic distances, z-scale height distances, and reduced propermotions.

| Kinematic and spatial distributions of barium stars - Are the barium stars and AM stars related?
The possibility of an evolutionary link between Am stars and bariumstars is considered, and an examination of previous data suggests thatbarium star precursors are main-sequence stars of intermediate mass, aremost likely A and/or F dwarfs, and are intermediate-mass binaries withclose to intermediate orbital separations. The possible role of masstransfer in the later development of Am systems is explored. Masstransfer and loss from systems with a range of masses and orbitalseparations may explain such statistical peculiarities of barium starsas the large dispersion in absolute magnitude, the large range ofelemental abundances from star to star, and the small number of starswith large peculiar velocities.

| A catalog of spectral classification and photometry of barium stars
Many other Ba II stars have been found, since the enhancement of theline of singly ionized barium (4554 A) in late-type, high-luminositystars was discovered by Bidelman and Keenan (1951). The majority ofstars so identified are listed in a study conducted by MacConnell et al.(1972). MacConnell et al. identified 150 'certain' barium stars and anadditional 90 'marginal' barium stars from inspection of objective-prismplates of the Michigan Spectral Survey of the southern sky. Since themajority of known Ba II stars were discovered with objective-prismplates, they have lacked high-quality spectral classifications. It hasbeen attempted to obtain these data along with broad- andintermediate-band photometry, in order to study the properties of thissubgroup of stars in greater detail than has heretofore been possible.Except for the stars recently identified by Bidelman (1981), the list ofspectroscopic and photometric data in Table 1 includes virtually allrecognized barium stars. The stars identified by Bidelman are listed inTable 2.
