When does the onset of multiple stellar populations in star clusters occur-III: No evidence of significant chemical variations in main-sequence stars of NGC 419

Abstract

Recent studies have revealed that the onset age for the presence of multiple stellar populations (MPs) in star clusters seems to correspond to the disappearance of the extended main-sequence turnoff (eMSTO) in young clusters, a pattern associated with stellar rotations. A speculative suggestion is that MPs might be caused by the magnetic brake, a stellar evolutionary effect linked to the rotation. In this work, we use the young massive cluster NGC 419 as a testbed. We examined if its magnetically baked MS stars would exhibit MPs. Using the deep ultraviolet and visible images observed through the Hubble Space Telescope, combined with a specific color index that is sensitive to the nitrogen (N) abundance, we examined if its late G- and K-type MS stars are affected by N variation. Our analysis reports that the morphology of its GK-type MS is most likely an SSP, and only a negligible probability that indicates a N variation up to 0.4 dex is present. We conclude that there is no significant N variation among its GK-type MS stars. The absence of a significant chemical variation among the late-type MS stars indicates that MPs might not be a specific pattern of magnetically braked stars.
