摘要:

我们对8颗[Fe/H] < -3.5 $ dex, four of which are new. Only stars with 4900 < Teff< 5650 K are included. Two stars of the eight are outliers in each of several abundance ratios. The most metal poor star in this sample, HE1424-0241, has [Fe/H] ~ -4 dex and is thus among the most metal poor stars known in the Galaxy. It has highly anomalous abundance ratios unlike those of any other known EMP giant, with very low Si, Ca and Ti relative to Fe, and enhanced Mn and Co, again relative to Fe. Only (low) upper limits for C and N can be derived from the non-detection of the CH and NH molecular bands. HE0132$的极贫金属(EMP)星进行了高分辨率和高信噪比的丰度分析。在这些C-正常恒星中,Fe峰元素丰度比的强异常值,在稍高的金属丰度下没有发现,这绝对是真实的。他们表明,在如此低的金属丰度下,我们开始看到预期的和长期寻求的单个超新星事件的随机效应,这些事件有助于单个恒星内的Fe峰材料。通过将我们的0 Z项目采用的分析程序的结果与First Stars VLT大型项目的结果进行详细比较,发现[Fe/H]的系统差异约为0.3 dex,我们的值总是更高。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed abundance analysis based on high resolution and high signal-to-noise spectra of eight extremely metal poor (EMP) stars with [Fe/H] < -3.5$ dex, four of which are new. Only stars with 4900 < Teff< 5650 K are included. Two stars of the eight are outliers in each of several abundance ratios. The most metal poor star in this sample, HE1424-0241, has [Fe/H] ~ -4 dex and is thus among the most metal poor stars known in the Galaxy. It has highly anomalous abundance ratios unlike those of any other known EMP giant, with very low Si, Ca and Ti relative to Fe, and enhanced Mn and Co, again relative to Fe. Only (low) upper limits for C and N can be derived from the non-detection of the CH and NH molecular bands. HE0132$-$2429, another sample star, has excesses of N and Sc with respect to Fe. The strong outliers in abundance ratios among the Fe-peak elements in these C-normal stars, not found at somewhat higher metallicities, are definitely real. They suggest that at such low metallicities we are beginning to see the anticipated and long sought stochastic effects of individual supernova events contributing to the Fe-peak material within a single star. A detailed comparison of the results of the analysis procedures adopted by our 0Z project compared to those of the First Stars VLT Large Project finds a systematic difference for [Fe/H] of ~0.3 dex, our values always being higher.
