Abstract (from CDS):

Aims. While looking for recently discovered distant Cepheids with an interesting chemical composition, we noticed one star (OGLE GD-CEP-1353) with extremely large equivalent widths of spectral lines of heavy elements. The aim of this work is to perform an abundance analysis, and to find a possible explanation for the found chemical anomaly.
Methods. Quantitative analysis of the equivalent widths and synthetic spectrum synthesis were used to derive abundances in this star. Both local and nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE and NLTE) approximations were used in our analysis.
Results. Abundances of 28 chemical elements from carbon to thorium were derived. While light and iron peak elements show abundances typical for distant Cepheids (located in the outer disk), the s-process elements are overabundant about one dex. r-process elements are slightly less overabundant. This makes the star a unique Cepheid of our Galaxy.
