- W3100764712 abstract "There is ample evidence in the Milky Way for globular cluster (GC) disruption. Hence one may expect that also part of the Galactic halo field stars may once have formed in GCs. We quantify the fraction of halo stars donated by GCs by searching for stars that bear the unique chemical fingerprints typical for a subset of GC stars often dubbed `second-generation stars'. These are stars showing light element abundance anomalies such as a pronounced CN-band strength accompanied by weak CH-bands. Based on this indicator, past studies have placed the fraction of halo stars with a GC origin between a few to up to 50%. Using low-resolution spectra from the most recent data release of the latest extension of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV), we were able to identify 118 metal-poor ($-1.8le$[Fe/H]$le -1.3$) CN-strong stars in a sample of 4470 halo giant stars out to 50 kpc. This results in an observed fraction of these stars of 2.6$pm$0.2%. Using an updated formalism to account for the fraction of stars lost early on in the GCs' evolution we estimate the fraction of the halo that stems from disrupted clusters to be 11$pm$1%. This number represents the case that stars lost from GCs were entirely from the first generation and is thus merely an upper limit. Our conclusions are sensitive to our assumptions of the mass lost early on from the first generation formed in the GCs, the ratio of first-to-second generation stars, and other GC parameters. We carefully test the influence of varying these parameters on the final result and find that, under realistic scenarios, the above fraction depends on the main assumptions at less than 10%. We further recover a flat trend in this fraction with Galactocentric radius, with a marginal indication of a rise beyond 30 kpc that could reflect the ex-situ origin of the outer halo.
