| Resumo | |
We identified eight additional stars as members of the Helmi stream (HStr) in the combined GALAH+ DR3 and Gaia EDR3 catalog. By consistently reevaluating claimed members from the literature, we consolidate a sample of 22 HStr stars with parameters determined from high-resolution spectroscopy and spanning a considerably wider (by similar to 0.5 dex) metallicity interval (- 2.5 less than or similar to {[}Fe/H] < - 1.0) than previously reported. Our study focuses on alpha (Mg and Ca) and neutron-capture (Ba and Eu) elements. We find that the chemistry of HStr is typical of dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies, in good agreement with previous N-body simulations of this merging event. Stars of HStr constitute a clear declining sequence in {[}alpha/Fe] for increasing metallicity up to {[}Fe/H] similar to -1.0. Moreover, stars of HStr show a median value of +0.5 dex for {[}Eu/Fe] with a small dispersion (+/- 0.1 dex). Every star analyzed with {[}Fe/H] < -1.2 belongs to the r-process enhanced ({[}Eu/Fe] > +0.3 and {[}Ba/Eu] < 0.0) metal-poor category, providing remarkable evidence that, at such a low-metallicity regime, stars of HStr experienced enrichment in neutron-capture elements predominantly via r-process nucleosynthesis. Finally, the extended metallicity range also suggests an increase in {[}Ba/Eu] for higher {[}Fe/H], in conformity with other surviving dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. (AU) | |
