Abundance Patterns in Stars in the Bulge and Galactic Center

摘要:

我们讨论的K和M红巨星成员的银河系膨胀和在年轻的和大质量的M型恒星居住在银河系的中心的氧和铁丰度模式。在光学和红外两个方面,对不同的球核研究的丰度结果表明,球核中的[O/Fe]-[Fe/H]关系不符合盘的关系,[O/Fe]值低于盘的值。基于这些升高的值[O/Fe]延伸到大的Fe丰度,这表明,凸起经历了快速的化学富集,也许是一个头重脚轻的初始质量函数。银河系中心的恒星揭示了一个几乎均匀的和稍微升高(相对于太阳)的铁丰度的研究样本,这是由10个红巨星和超巨星。也许更重要的是,年轻的银河系中心M-型恒星显示的丰度模式让人想起了在核凸起人口中观察到的丰度模式,并且在近太阳金属丰度下,相对于太阳或银河系盘,α-元素的丰度比有所增加。

英文摘要:

We discuss oxygen and iron abundance patterns in K and M red-giant members of the Galactic bulge and in the young and massive M-type stars inhabiting the very center of the Milky Way. The abundance results from the different bulge studies in the literature, both in the optical and the infrared, indicate that the [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] relation in the bulge does not follow the disk relation, with [O/Fe] values falling above those of the disk. Based on these elevated values of [O/Fe] extending to large Fe abundances, it is suggested that the bulge underwent a rapid chemical enrichment with perhaps a top-heavy initial mass function. The Galactic Center stars reveal a nearly uniform and slightly elevated (relative to solar) iron abundance for a studied sample which is composed of 10 red giants and supergiants. Perhaps of more significance is the fact that the young Galactic Center M-type stars show abundance patterns that are reminiscent of those observed for the bulge population and contain enhanced abundance ratios of alpha-elements relative to either the Sun or Milky Way disk at near-solar metallicities.
