摘要:

碳增强贫金属(CEMP)恒星HE 1305+0132的氟丰度是通过分析凤凰光谱仪和双子座-南方望远镜获得的高分辨率(R = 50,000)光谱中2.3357微米处的HF(1-0)R9分子线得出的。我们的丰度分析利用了一个hoc增强的ATLAS 12模型大气,其特征是利用中等分辨率(R = 3,000)的光学和近红外光谱确定的金属丰度和CNO增强。它的有效铁丰度[Fe/H] =-2.5,使HE 1305+0132成为最缺铁的恒星,超过一个数量级。使用光谱合成,我们得出超太阳的氟丰度A(19 F)= 4.96 +/- 0.21,对应于[F/Fe] = 2.90的相对丰度。在我们的Phoenix谱中识别出一条Phillips C_2系统的单谱线,以及多条CO(3-1)的第一泛音振转带头谱线,得到了C和O的丰度分别为A(12 C)= 8.57 +/- 0.11和A(16 O)= 7.04 +/- 0.14。我们认为惊人的氟过剩的框架内的核合成过程被认为是负责CEMP星的C-增强,并得出结论,大气的HE 1305+0132被污染,通过质量转移的主要同伴在其渐近巨星分支阶段。这是CEMP恒星中氟的首次研究,它表明这种稀有核素可以成为早期银河系核合成过程的关键诊断。

英文摘要:

The fluorine abundance of the Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) star HE 1305+0132 has been derived by analysis of the molecular HF (1-0) R9 line at 2.3357 microns in a high-resolution (R = 50,000) spectrum obtained with the Phoenix spectrometer and Gemini-South telescope. Our abundance analysis makes use of a CNO-enhanced ATLAS12 model atmosphere characterized by a metallicity and CNO enhancements determined utilizing medium-resolution (R = 3,000) optical and near-IR spectra. The effective iron abundance is found to be [Fe/H] = -2.5, making HE 1305+0132 the most Fe-deficient star, by more than an order of magnitude, for which the abundance of fluorine has been measured. Using spectral synthesis, we derive a super-solar fluorine abundance of A(19F) = 4.96 +/- 0.21, corresponding to a relative abundance of [F/Fe] = 2.90. A single line of the Phillips C_2 system is identified in our Phoenix spectrum, and along with multiple lines of the first-overtone vibration-rotation CO (3-1) band head, C and O abundances of A(12C) = 8.57 +/- 0.11 and A(16O) = 7.04 +/- 0.14 are derived. We consider the striking fluorine overabundance in the framework of the nucleosynthetic processes thought to be responsible for the C-enhancement of CEMP stars and conclude that the atmosphere of HE 1305+0132 was polluted via mass transfer by a primary companion during its asymptotic giant branch phase. This is the first study of fluorine in a CEMP star, and it demonstrates that this rare nuclide can be a key diagnostic of nucleosynthetic processes in the early Galaxy.
