Oxygen abundances in nearby FGK stars

DOI

Atmospheric parameters and oxygen abundances of 825 nearby FGK stars are derived using high-quality spectra and a non-local thermodynamic equilibrium analysis of the 777nm OI triplet lines. We assign a kinematic probability for the stars to be thin-disk (P_1_), thick-disk (P_2_), and halo (P_3_) members. We confirm previous findings of enhanced [O/Fe] in thick-disk (P_2_>0.5) relative to thin-disk (P_1_>0.5) stars with [Fe/H]~-0.2. Nevertheless, we find that the kinematic membership criterion fails at separating perfectly the stars in the [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] plane, even when a very restrictive kinematic separation is employed. Stars with "intermediate" kinematics (P_1_<0.7, P_2_0.5) show a large star-to-star scatter in [O/Fe]-[Fe/H], but most of it is due to stars with Galactocentric rotational velocity V-200km/s follow an [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] relation with almost no star-to-star scatter. Early mergers with satellite galaxies explain most of our observations, but the significant fraction of disk stars with "ambiguous" kinematics and abundances suggests that scattering by molecular clouds and radial migration have both played an important role in determining the kinematic and chemical properties of solar neighborhood stars.
