Hydra spectroscopy of stars in NGC 2204

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have analyzed high-dispersion spectra in the Li 6708{AA} region for 167 stars within the anticenter cluster NGC 2204.

Description

From 105 probable members, abundance analysis of 45 evolved stars produces [Fe/H]=-0.40+/-0.12, [Si/Fe]=0.14+/-0.12, [Ca/Fe]=0.29+/-0.07, and [Ni/Fe]=-0.12+/-0.10, where quoted errors are standard deviations. With E(B-V)=0.07 and (m-M)_0_=13.12, appropriate isochrones provide an excellent match from the main sequence through the tip of the giant branch for an age of 1.85+/-0.05Gyr.

Li spectrum synthesis produces A(Li) below 1.4 at the base of the red giant branch to a detectable value of -0.4 at the tip. Six probable asymptotic giant branch stars and all but one red clump star have only Li upper limits. A rapidly rotating red giant is identified as a possible Li-rich giant, assuming it is a red clump star.

Main-sequence turnoff stars have a well-defined A(Li)=2.83+/-0.03 (sem) down to the Li-dip wall at the predicted mass of 1.29M_{sun}_. Despite having the same isochronal age as the more metal-rich NGC 2506, the luminosity distribution of red giants reflects a younger morphology similar to NGC 7789, possibly indicating a deeper impact of metallicity on stellar structure and A(Li) than previously assumed. As in NGC 2506 and NGC 7789, the NGC 2204 turnoff exhibits a broad range of rotation speeds, making abundance estimation impossible for some stars.

The place of the cluster within Galactic A(Li) evolution is discussed.
