Abstract
We report on the discovery of the first ultra metal-poor (UMP) star 2MASS J20500194−6613298 (J2050−6613; [Fe/H] = −4.05) selected from the Gaia BP/RP spectral catalog that belongs to the ancient Atari disk component. We obtained a high-resolution spectrum for the star with the MIKE spectrograph on the Magellan-Clay telescope. J2050−6613 displays a typical chemical abundance pattern for UMP stars, including carbon and zinc enhancements. In contrast, J2050−6613 shows extremely high [Sr/Fe] and [Sr/Ba] ratios compared to other stars in the [Fe/H] <−4.0 regime. J2050−6613 is most likely an early Population II star that formed from a gas cloud that was chemically enriched by a massive Population III hypernova (E >1052 erg). Such a Population III core-collapse hypernova could simultaneously explain the origin of the abundance pattern of light and heavy elements of 2MASS J2050−6613 if a large amount of Sr of ∼10−5 M⊙ was produced, possibly by neutrino-driven (wind) ejecta. Therefore, the abundance pattern of 2MASS J2050−6613 places important constraints on Sr-producing nucleosynthesis sources operating in the Atari progenitor at the earliest times.
期刊介绍:
For papers that merit urgent publication, MNRAS Letters, the online section of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, publishes short, topical and significant research in all fields of astronomy. Letters should be self-contained and describe the results of an original study whose rapid publication might be expected to have a significant influence on the subsequent development of research in the associated subject area. The 5-page limit must be respected. Authors are required to state their reasons for seeking publication in the form of a Letter when submitting their manuscript.
