Abundances of disk and Bulge giants from high-resolution optical spectra III. Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni

Abstract

Context. Recent observations of the Bulge, e.g., its X-shape, cylindrical stellar motions, and a potential fraction of young stars propose that it formed through secular evolution of the disk and not through gas dissipation and/or mergers, as thought previously. Aims. We measure abundances of six iron-peak elements (Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co and Ni) in the local thin and thick disks as well as the Bulge to provide additional observational constraints for Galaxy formation and chemical evolution models. Methods. We use high-resolution optical spectra of 291 K giants in the local disk mostly obtained by the FIES at NOT (signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 80-100) and 45 K giants in the Bulge obtained by the UVES/FLAMES at VLT (S/N ratio of 10-80). We measure abundances in SME and apply NLTE corrections to the [Mn/Fe] and [Co/Fe] ratios. To discriminate between the thin and thick, we use stellar metallicity, [Ti/Fe]-ratios, and kinematics from Gaia DR2 (proper motions and the radial velocities). Results. The observed disk trend of V is more enhanced in the thick disk, while the Co disk trend shows a minor enhancement in the thick disk. The Bulge trends of V and Co appear even more enhanced w.r.t. the thick disk, but within the uncertainties. The [Ni/Fe] ratio seems slightly overabundant in the thick disk and the Bulge w.r.t. the thin disk, although the difference is minor. The disk and Bulge trends of Sc, Cr and Mn overlap strongly. Conclusions. The somewhat enhanced [(V,Co)/Fe] ratios observed in the Bulge suggest that the local thick disk and the Bulge might have experienced different chemical enrichment and evolutionary paths. However, we are unable to predict the exact evolutionary path of the Bulge solely based on these observations. Galactic chemical evolution models could, on the other hand, provide that using these results.
