Based on high quality spectral data ( spectral resolution R \geq 60000 ) within the wavelength range of 3550–5000 Å we determined main parameters ( effective temperature , surface gravity , microturbulent velocity , and chemical element abundances including heavy metals from Sr to Dy ) for 14 metal–deficient G–K stars with large proper motions .
The stars we studied have a wide range of metallicity : [ Fe/H ] = -0.3 \div - 2.9 .
Abundances of Mg , Al , Sr and Ba were calculated with non–LTE line-formation effects accounted for .
Abundances both of the radioactive element Th and r–process element Eu were determined using synthetic spectrum calculations .
We selected stars that belong to different galactic populations according to the kinematical criterion and parameters determined by us .
We found that the studied stars with large proper motions refer to different components of the Galaxy : thin , thick disks and halo .
The chemical composition of the star BD+80 ^ { \circ } 245 located far from the galactic plane agrees with its belonging to the accreted halo .
For the giant HD 115444 we obtained [ Fe/H ] = -2.91 , underabundance of Mn , overabundance of heavy metals from Ba to Dy , and , especially high excess of the r–process element Europium : [ Eu/Fe ] = +1.26 .
Contrary to its chemical composition typical for halo stars , HD 115444 belongs to the disc population according to its kinematic parameters .
