Optical and NIR spectroscopy of cool CEMP stars to probe the nucleosynthesis in low mass AGB binary system

Abstract

We present the abundance analyses of 7 Carbon enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars to understand the origin of carbon in them. We used high-resolution optical spectra to derive abundances of various elements. We also used low-resolution Near-Infrared (NIR) spectra to derive the abundance of O and 12C/13C from the CO molecular band and compared their values with those derived from high-resolution optical spectra. We identified a good agreement between the values. Thus, in cool CEMP stars, the NIR observations complement the high-resolution optical observations to derive the oxygen abundance and the 12C/13C ratio. This enables us to probe fainter cool CEMP stars using NIR spectroscopy. C, N, O abundances of all the program stars in this study show abundances that are consistent with binary mass transfer from a low-mass low-metallicity Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) companion which is further supported by the presence of enhancement in neutron-capture elements and detection of radial velocity variation. One of the stars show abundance patterns similar to a CEMP-s star whereas the abundance pattern of the rest of the stars satisfy the criteria required to classify them as CEMP-r/s stars. The sub-classification of some of the stars studied here is revisited. The abundance of neutron capture elements in these CEMP-r/s stars resembles to that of i-process models where proton ingestion episodes in the companion low-mass low-metallicity AGB stars produce the necessary neutron density required for the onset of i-process.
