For each metallicity bin, the stars in our sample were The Kapteyn group has stars in the metal-poor and metal-intermediate groups.

Open circles indicate the SG-like candidates with [Fe/H] < 1. In (a) the gray dashed line marks the loci of the SG GC-like candidates, above [Al/Fe] > +0.1 ([Mg/Fe] < +0.18) and [Al/Fe] > based on k-means m and aluminum abundances for our target([mg/fe] > +0.18), stars (same symbols as in Figure 3).

Finally, we found differences in the He I EW measurements makes it an intriguing target in its own right in the literature for two stars in our ω Cen group (see Table 7). ). since this star shows nitrogen enhancement similar to A more exotic explanation of such peculiar chemistry in 5 a that of Schiavon s sample, i.e., 2M , disk-like orbit star is that it could be chemically linked with the 13 like the N-rich population, has elevated nitrogen abundance, 2M Fernández-Trincado et al. ApJ, 833, 132 (2016) [N/Fe] = 1.46 dex (see Table 1). Interestingly, our orbital solutions show that 2M passes through the Galactic bulge at its closest approach to the Galactic center Rmin 0.62 kpc and reaches a maximum distance from the Galactic center at Rmax < 7.26 kpc (see the orbit projection in Figure 4) in an eccentric orbit e = Given its peculiar chemical fingerprint and orbital elements within the Galactic disk, this star could be interpreted as a N-rich bulge interloper. It is interesting to note that there are a handful of N-rich stars from Schiavon s sample with intermediate Al abundance and ω Cen progenitor system, from which it might have been ejected. However, ω Cen is a very complex and unusual stellar system in the Milky Way, and its origin is still not well understood (GC or dsph galaxy?). Other GC progenitor candidates might be examined with more detail in the near future, given the upcoming and more accurate six-dimensional phase-space data set that will be produced by the Gaia space mission.
