On the Identification of N-rich Metal-poor Field Stars with Future Chinese Space Station Telescope

During the long term evolution of globular clusters(GCs),some member stars are lost to the field.The recently found nitrogen-rich(N-rich)metal-poor field stars are promising candidates of these GC escapees,since N enhancement is the fingerprint of chemically enhanced populations in GCs.In this work,we discuss the possibility of identifying N-rich metal-poor field stars with the upcoming Chinese Space Station Telescope(CSST).We focus on the main survey camera with NUV,u,g,r,i,z,y filters and slitless spectrograph with a resolution about 200.The combination of UV sensitive equipment and prominent N-related molecular lines in the UV band bodes well for the identification:the color-color diagram of(u-g)versus(g-r)is capable of separating N-rich field stars from normal halo stars,if metallicity can be estimated without using the information on u-band photometry.Besides,the synthetic spectra show that a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 is sufficient to identify N-rich field stars.In the near future,a large sample of N-rich field stars found by CSST,combined with state-of-the-art N-body simulations will be crucial to deciphering GC-Galaxy co-evolution.
