Barium dwarfs with white dwarf companions
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We report three new barium (Ba) dwarfs lying in Sirius-like systems.
Description
They provide direct evidence that Ba dwarfs are companions to white dwarfs (WDs). Atmospheric parameters, stellar masses and the chemical abundances of 25 elements, including light, {alpha}, Fe-peak and s-process elements, are derived from high-resolution and high S/N spectra.
The enhancement of s-process elements with [s/Fe] ratios between 0.4 and 0.6 confirm them as mild barium stars. The estimated metallicities (-0.31, -0.06 and 0.13) of BD+68 1027, RE J0702+129 and BD+80 670 are in the range of known Ba dwarfs and giants. As expected, the observed indices [hs/ls], [s/Fe] and [C/Fe] show an anti-correlation with metallicity.

Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) progenitor masses are estimated for the WD companions of RE J0702+129 (1.47M_{sun}_) and BD+80 670 (3.59M_{sun}_). These confirm the predicted range of progenitor AGB masses (1.5-4M_{sun}_) for unseen WDs around Ba dwarfs. The surface abundances of s-process elements in RE J0702+129 and BD+80 670 are compared with AGB models and they are in close agreement, within the predicted accretion efficiencies and pollution factors for Ba stars.
These results support that the origin of s-process overabundances in Ba dwarfs is similar to those of Ba giants via the McClure hypothesis in which Ba stars accumulate s-process elements through mass transfer from their host companions during the AGB phase.
