A detailed spectroscopy of the carbon-rich star BD +57° 2161
2005
An LTE abundance analysis based on high-resolution spectra is presented for the carbon-rich star BD +57° 2161, whose evolutionary status is unknown. With [C/Fe] = +0.4 dex and a mean s-process overabundance of [s/Fe] ≃ +1.5 dex the peculiar atmospheric composition of BD +57° 2161 is confirmed. The 12 C/ 13 C abundance ratio was found to be about 10. The mild iron deficiency, [Fe/H] = -0.2, supports the idea that BD +57° 2161 could be an old-disk-population object. Radial-velocity measurements confirm the binary nature of the star. Therefore the peculiar chemical composition could be due to the mass transfer from the secondary - AGB star in the past. Orbital parameters are estimated for another star of this group, BD +75° 348.
