Abstract:
We have determined chemical abundances and radial velocities for stars in
the field of the {zeta} Sculptoris cluster. We find that the cluster metal
deficiency previously found from UBV photometry is not supported; the
cluster overall metallicity, [Fe/H]=+0.23, is about 70% higher than the
solar value. The chemical abundance pattern appears unusual: the Ni/Fe
ratio is lower than typical for field stars with similar Fe and Ca
abundances, and the cluster may also be deficient in the {alpha} element
Si. For its age, the cluster is unusually far from the galactic disk,
=~240pc. The adopted heliocentric cluster radial velocity, +3.9km/s, shows
that it is close to its maximum distance from the galactic plane. We
suggest that the {zeta}Sculptoris cluster was formed in the galactic disk
45Myr ago by the interaction of a high velocity cloud with the
interstellar medium, and that its formation may be connected with that of
Gould's Belt.
