Abstract

A comparative analysis of the relative abundances of chemical elements produced in different nucleosynthesis channels in the atmospheres of the metal-rich ([Fe/H] \(>-1\) ) Galactic-field RR Lyrae variables and in the stars of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, as well as in the stars of the Milky Way disk, is presented. In the [Fe/H]–[X/Fe] diagrams, the metal-rich RR Lyraes are located between two groups of comparison stars. We assume that the unusual chemical properties of the metal-rich RR Lyrae variables can be explained by their formation from the Milky Way’s matter with the addition of gas accreted from the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy.
