Chemical abundances in 52 M-giant stars

DOI

We measured ^35^Cl abundances in 52-M giants with metallicities in the range -0.5<[Fe/H]<0.12. Abundances and atmospheric parameters were derived using infrared spectra from CSHELL on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility and from optical echelle spectra. We measured Cl abundances by fitting a H^35^Cl molecular feature at 3.6985{mu}m with synthetic spectra. We also measured the abundances of O, Ca, Ti, and Fe using atomic absorption lines. We find that the [Cl/Fe] ratio for our stars agrees with chemical evolution models of Cl, and the [Cl/Ca] ratio is broadly consistent with the solar ratio over our metallicity range. Both indicate that Cl is primarily made in core-collapse supernovae with some contributions from Type Ia supernovae. We suggest that other potential nucleosynthesis processes, such as the {nu}-process, are not significant producers of Cl. Finally, we also find our Cl abundances are consistent with HII and planetary nebular abundances at a given oxygen abundance, although there is scatter in the data.
