摘要:

我们通过分析一个场星样本和研究得很好的疏散星团IC 4651,用不同的光谱方法来测试我们推导巨星的恒星物理参数的能力。使用基于线深比(LDRs)的技术使我们能够以高精度确定恒星的有效温度,并将结果与经典的LTE丰度分析结果进行比较。(i)对于场星,我们发现通过LDR方法得到的温度与光谱合成得到的温度非常一致。这一结果是非常令人鼓舞的,因为它表明光谱可以用来坚定地得出人口特征(例如,质量和年龄)。(ii)对于IC 4651星,我们使用所确定的有效温度导出以下结果。a)团簇的红化E(B-V)为0.12+/-0.02,很大程度上与所使用的色温校准无关。b)星团的年龄为1.2+/-0.2 Gyr。c)被分析的巨星的典型质量为2.0+/-0.2M_sun。此外,我们发现一个系统的差异约0.2德克斯在log g光谱和进化值之间。我们的结论是,尽管已知的局限性,一个经典的光谱分析巨星可能确实会导致非常可靠的恒星参数。另一方面,我们提醒说,协议的质量取决于所采用的光谱分析的细节。

英文摘要:

We test our capability of deriving stellar physical parameters of giant stars by analysing a sample of field stars and the well studied open cluster IC 4651 with different spectroscopic methods. The use of a technique based on line-depth ratios (LDRs) allows us to determine with high precision the effective temperature of the stars and to compare the results with those obtained with a classical LTE abundance analysis. (i) For the field stars we find that the temperatures derived by means of the LDR method are in excellent agreement with those found by the spectral synthesis. This result is extremely encouraging because it shows that spectra can be used to firmly derive population characteristics (e.g., mass and age) of the observed stars. (ii) For the IC 4651 stars we use the determined effective temperature to derive the following results. a) The reddening E(B-V) of the cluster is 0.12+/-0.02, largely independent of the color-temperature calibration used. b) The age of the cluster is 1.2+/-0.2 Gyr. c) The typical mass of the analysed giant stars is 2.0+/-0.2M_sun. Moreover, we find a systematic difference of about 0.2 dex in log g between spectroscopic and evolutionary values. We conclude that, in spite of known limitations, a classical spectroscopic analysis of giant stars may indeed result in very reliable stellar parameters. We caution that the quality of the agreement, on the other hand, depends on the details of the adopted spectroscopic analysis.
