Abstract

The stellar [{alpha}/Fe] abundance is sometimes used as a proxy for stellar age, following standard chemical evolution models for the Galaxy, as seen by different observational results. In this work we show that the Open Cluster NGC6705/M11 has a significant {alpha}-enhancement [{alpha}/Fe]>0.1dex, despite its young age (~300Myr), challenging the current paradigm.}{We use high resolution (R$>65,000$) high signal-to-noise (~70) spectra of 8 Red Clump stars, acquired within the OCCASO survey. We determine very accurate chemical abundances of several {alpha} elements, using an equivalent width methodology (Si, Ca and Ti), and spectral synthesis fits (Mg and O). We obtain [Si/Fe]=0.13+/-0.05, [Mg/Fe]=0.14+/-0.07, [O/Fe]=0.17+/-0.07, [Ca/Fe]=0.06+/-0.05 and [Ti/Fe]=0.03+/-0.03. Our results place these cluster within the group of young [{alpha}/Fe]-enhanced field stars recently found by several authors in the literature. The ages of our stars have an uncertainty of around 50Myr, much more precise than for field stars. By integrating the cluster's orbit in several non-axisymmetric Galactic potentials, we establish the M11's most likely birth radius to lie between 6.8-7.5kpc from the Galactic center, not far from its current position. With the robust Open Cluster age scale, our results prove that a moderate [{alpha}/Fe]-enhancement is no guarantee for a star to be old, and that not all {alpha}-enhanced stars can be explained with an evolved blue straggler scenario. Based on our orbit calculations, we further argue against a Galactic bar origin of M11.
