摘要:

最近对r过程富集的贫金属星丰度的观测揭示了元素$Z\leq47$的不均匀丰度模式。基于元素丰度之间的非相关性的趋势,作为一个函数的Eu丰富的大样本的金属贫星,它表明,一个一致的和强大的轻元素的主要过程(LEPP)和r-过程模式中发现的R-II贫金属星的混合解释了这种明显的不均匀性。此外,我们从观测中推导出了LEPP的丰度模式,并表明它与使用最近的s过程模型时太阳丰度中缺失的分量是一致的。由于LEPP的天体物理学站点是未知的,我们探索的可能性内的一个站点独立的方法的中子捕获过程。建议中子密度为$n_{n}\leq10^{13}$ $cm^{-3}$或在$n_{n}\geq10^{24}$ $cm^{-3}$范围内的情景最能解释观测结果。

英文摘要:

Recent observations of r-process-enriched metal-poor star abundances reveal a non-uniform abundance pattern for elements $Z\leq47$. Based on non-correlation trends between elemental abundances as a function of Eu-richness in a large sample of metal-poor stars, it is shown that the mixing of a consistent and robust light element primary process (LEPP) and the r-process pattern found in r-II metal-poor stars explains such apparent non-uniformity. Furthermore, we derive the abundance pattern of the LEPP from observation and show that it is consistent with a missing component in the solar abundances when using a recent s-process model. As the astrophysical site of the LEPP is not known, we explore the possibility of a neutron capture process within a site-independent approach. It is suggested that scenarios with neutron densities $n_{n}\leq10^{13}$ $cm^{-3}$ or in the range $n_{n}\geq10^{24}$ $cm^{-3}$ best explain the observations.
