Box plot of the M5 giant star element abundances. For each abundance ratio the "box" contains the middle 50% of the data (i.e., the interquartile range) and the horizontal line inside the box indicates the median value of a particular element. The tails vertical extending from the boxes indicate the total range of abundances determined for each element, excluding outliers. Mild outliers (those between 1.5 and 3 times the interquartile range) are denoted by open circles. Severe outliers (those greater than 3 times the interquartile range) are denoted by filled circles.

C & N anticorrelation among SGB stars

No systematic trends with either luminosity or temperature are apparent in the abundances.

Sum of the derived C and N abundances is plotted as a function of the C abundance.

Large filled circle marks the location for both C and N depleted by a factor of 16, adopting the abundance of M5 of [Fe/H] = -1.2 dex, with C/N at the solar ratio.

Horizontal line extending to the left of that represents the locus of points for C gradually being converted into N, with the left end of the line having C/C0 = 0.1.

“The range of variation of the N abundances is very large, and the sum of C+N increases as C decreases. To reproduce this requires the incorporation

not only of CN but also of ON-processed material.”

[Fe/H] from Fe I (top) and Fe II (bottom) against photometric Teff.

The solid lines are linear fits weighted by the errors.

The dashed lines indicate the mean [Fe/H] with their respective error plotted as an error bar at 4000 K.

In both cases, [Fe/H] shows no dependence on Teff.

Note that <[Fe/H](Fe I)> = -1.30 ± 0.02 and <[Fe/H](Fe II)> = -1.28 ± 0.02.

“at this metallicity, non-LTE effects are not important…”

“Thévenin & Idiart (1999) found that non-LTE corrections become more important as [Fe/H] decreases, being about 0.2 dex for stars with [Fe/H] about -1.25 dex, and that ionized lines are not significantly affected by non-LTE.”

Abundance ratios of O and Na with respect to Fe against Teff.

The solid line is a linear fit weighted by the errors.

The dashed line indicates the mean abundance ratio with its respective error plotted as an error bar at 4000 K.

The open triangle corresponds to the abundance determined from the summed spectra of the six m.-s. stars.

Arrows represent upper limits for the oxygen abundance ratio.

Stars G18450_0453 and G18564_0457 with similar Te, part of whose spectra are shown in Fig. 11 (next slide), are marked with squares in the [Na/Fe] plot (bottom).

->The scatter shown by [Na/Fe] is due to real abundance variations

among stars of similar Teff.

Summary of abundance ratios in M5.

The thick line on the left side of the box is the predicted error (expected for the interquartile range), which includes the dependence on the stellar parameters and the equivalent-width determination.

O“The difference of +0.24 dex in the mean O abundance

presumably reflects our inability to detect weak O lines

in the O-poor low-luminosity part of our sample in M5,

assuming they are actually present there.”

Al“although the 6696, 6698 Å Al I doublet is

the most useful feature of that element in this spectral region,

we could not get it to fit into a single HIRES setting

together with the O lines.

“pollution/accretionvia AGB ejecta”

“But rather than simple surface pollution, a substantial fraction of the present stars’ massesmust be involved.”

C depletion do appear smaller in accord with the prediction of AGB ejecta models of Ventura et al. (2001)…accretion of C-poor materials….to explain the gap & similar spread of [N/Fe], [O/Fe] and [Na/Fe] are needed….
