Descripción
The large amount of chemical and kinematic information available in
large spectroscopic surveys has inspired the search for chemically
peculiar stars in the field. Though these metal-poor field stars ([Fe/H]
<‑1) are commonly enriched in nitrogen, their detailed
spatial, kinematic, and chemical distributions suggest that various
groups may exist, and thus their origin is still a mystery. To study
these stars statistically, we increase the sample size by identifying
new CN-strong stars with LAMOST DR3 for the first time. We use
CN–CH bands around 4000 Å to find CN-strong stars, and
further separate them into CH-normal stars (44) and CH-strong (or CH)
stars (35). The chemical abundances from our data-driven software and
APOGEE DR14 suggest that most CH-normal stars are N-rich, and this
cannot be explained by an internal mixing process alone. The kinematics
of our CH-normal stars indicate that a substantial fraction of these
stars are retrograding, pointing to an extragalactic origin. The
chemistry and kinematics of CH-normal stars imply that they may be stars
dissolved from globular clusters, or accreted halo stars, or both.

Nucleosíntesis y procesos moleculares en los últimos estados de la evolución estelar
Las estrellas de masa baja e intermedia (M < 8 masas solares, Ms) representan la mayoría de estrellas en el Cosmos y terminan sus vidas en la Rama Asintótica de las Gigantes (AGB) - justo antes de formar Nebulosas Planetarias (NPs) - cuando experimentan procesos nucleosintéticos y moleculares complejos. Las estrellas AGB son importantes
