The stellar sample consists of 45 bulge and 291 local disk K-giants observed with high-resolution optical spectra. The abundances are determined by fitting synthetic spectra using the Spectroscopy Made Easy (SME) code. The disk sample is separated into thin- and thick-disk components using a combination of abundances and kinematics. The cosmic origin of Mo is investigated and discussed by comparing with published abundances of Mo and the neutron-capture elements cerium (Ce) and europium (Eu). We determine reliable Mo abundances for 35 bulge and 282 disk giants with a typical uncertainty of [Mo/Fe] ~0.2 and ~0.1dex for the bulge and disk, respectively. We find that the bulge is possibly enhanced in [Mo/Fe] compared to the thick disk, which we do not observe in either [Ce/Fe] or [Eu/Fe]. This might suggest a higher past star-formation rate in the bulge; however, as we do not observe the bulge to be enhanced in [Eu/Fe], the origin of the molybdenum enhancement is yet to be constrained. Although the scatter is large, we may be observing evidence of the p-process contributing to the heavy element production in the chemical evolution of the bulge.2022A&A...666A.125Fhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/666/A125CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/A+A/598/A100 : Abundances of disk giants: O, Mg, Ca and Ti (Jonsson+, 2017)J/A+A/625/A141 : Abundances of disk and bulge giants (Lomaeva+, 2019)J/A+A/631/A113 : Abund. of disk + bulge giants: Zr, La, Ce, Eu (Forsberg, 2019)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/666/A125https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/666/A125http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/666/A125https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/666/A125https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/666/A125http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/666/A125GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/666/A125/tablea1 (Basic data for the observed bulge giants)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/666/A125/tablea1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/666/A125/tablea1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/666/A125/tablea1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true5.3055297083-8.281156250.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/A+A/666/A125/tablea3 (Basic data for the observed disk giants)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/666/A125/tablea3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/666/A125/tablea3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/666/A125/tablea3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true269.7688875-29.176813890.0055555555555555566/737 2312 4146 4444 4574 5382 5535 5982 6219 6294 7886 8214 8348 8470 8477 8479 8536 8704 8719 8767 8776 8787 8927 8932 8967 8986 8997 9011-9012 9031 9083 9085 9209 9237 9243 9258 9337 9350 9355 9378 9553 9559 9572 9607 9632 9645 9665 9667 9677 9706 9712 9780 9818 9887 9901-9902 9904 9907 9916 9942 9948 10002-10003 10084 10101 10112 10114 10192 10224 10313-10314 10321 10334 10380 10476 10485 10504 10555 10584 10609 10615 10644 10656 10691 10699-10700 11189 11350 11370 11427 11432 11492 11656 11658 11792 11795 11929 12082 12429 12522 12720 12735 12809 13138 13210 13282 13731 13757 13882 14084 14385 14442 14482 14496 14578 14583-14585 14587 14589 14591 14632 14692 14705 14720 14730 14735 14746 14752-14754 14757 14762-14763 14766-14767 14775 14779 14818 14825 14827 14915 14923-14924 14930-14931 14933 14936-14938 14940 14942 14944 14948 14953-14954 14964-14966 14971 14975 15040-15041 15044 15060 15106 15108 15114 15120-15121 15127-15128 15143 15146 15148 15153-15154 15157 15176 15227 15246 15289 15302-15303 15500 15567 15895 15929 15987 16023 16035 16050 16148 17266 17731 18688 18778 18893 18911 19414 21612 24374 25246 25278 25684 25891 26070 26078 28465 28768 28770 28778 28864 28882 30022 30064 30110 30339 30359 30540 30606 31071 31096 31317 31357 31405 31408 31428 31435 31475 31488 31531 31534 31574 31688 31749 31751 31760 31814 31817 31873 32044 32087 32101 32140 32186 32221 32227 32243 32274 32277 32291 32397 32433 32458 32463 32492 32502 32509 32523 32541 32554 32556 32595 32613 32651 32659 32676 32708 40795 44518 44771 44926 47852-47853 48051https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/666/A125?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/666/A125/tablea1Basic data for the observed bulge giantsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
