abstract

The latest edition of the APOGEE-2/DR14 survey catalogue and the first \texttt{Payne} data release of APOGEE abundance determinations by Ting et al. are examined. We identify 31 previously unremarked metal-poor giant stars with anomalously high levels of nitrogen in the chemical space defined by [Fe/H] and [N/Fe]. The APOGEE chemical abundance patterns of such objects revealed that these are chemically distinct from the Milky Way (MW) in most chemical elements. We have found all these objects have a [N/Fe]$>+0.5$, and are thus identified here as nitrogen-rich stars. An orbital analysis of these objects revealed that a handful of them shares the orbital properties of the bar/bulge, and possibly linked to tidal debris of surviving globular clusters trapped into the bar component. 3 of the 31 stars are actually halo interlopers into the bulge area, which suggests that halo contamination is not insignificant when studying N-rich stars found in the inner Galaxy, whereas the rest of the N-rich stars share orbital properties with the halo population. Most of the newly identified population exhibit chemistry similar to the so-called \textit{second-generation} globular cluster stars (enriched in aluminum, [Al/Fe]$>+0.5$), whereas a handful of them exhibit lower abundances of aluminum, [Al/Fe]$<+0.5$, which are thought to be chemically associated with the \textit{first-generation} of stars, as seen in globular clusters, or compatible with origin from a tidally disrupted dwarf galaxy.

    Globular clusters' lowest-aluminum populations separate into distinct in-situ and accreted regions of the [Al/Fe]-[Fe/H] plane, alongside mass-dependent abundances in five dwarf galaxies.
