摘要: We present the chemical compositions for eight bright giants in globular cluster NGC 1851. Our analysis reveals large star-to-star abundance variations and correlations of light elements O, Na, Al, a feature found every well-studied cluster. However, 1851 also exhibits s-process Zr La. These are correlated with Al anticorrelated O. Furthermore, La abundances appear to around two distinct values. A recent study revealed double subgiant branch data reinforce notion that there stellar populations indicate this has experienced complicated formation history similarities ? Centauri.
