球状星团M4和M5巨星中铷和铅的丰度

Rubidium and lead abundances in giant stars of the globular clusters M4 and M5

David Yong, David L. Lambert, Diane B. Paulson, Bruce W. Carney

摘要:

我们测量了球状星团M4和M5中亮巨星的中子俘获元素Rb和Pb。两个星团的金属丰度相似([Fe/H] = -1.2),但M4相对于M5明显是s过程富集的:M4的[Ba/Fe] = +0.6,而M5的[Ba/Fe]= 0.0。Rb和Pb的丰度是通过将合成光谱与麦哲伦望远镜上的MIKE获得的高分辨率、高信噪比光谱进行比较得出的。还获得了Y、Zr、La和Eu的丰度。在M4中,12颗巨星的平均丰度为[Rb/Fe] = 0.39 +/- 0.02(sigma = 0.07),[Rb/Zr] = 0.17 +/- 0.03(sigma = 0.08),[Pb/Fe] = 0.30 +/- 0.02(sigma = 0.07)。在M5中,两颗巨星的平均丰度分别为[Rb/Fe] = 0.00 +/- 0.05(sigma = 0.06),[Rb/Zr] = 0.08 +/- 0.08(sigma = 0.11),[Pb/Fe] = -0.35 +/- 0.02(sigma = 0.04)。在测量不确定度范围内,每个星团中X = Y,Zr,La的丰度比[Rb/Fe],[Pb/Fe]和[Rb/X]在恒星之间是恒定的,这些比值都与O或Na丰度无关。虽然M4的Rb丰度比M5高,但两个星团中的比值[Rb/X]相似,表明每个星团的s-产物的性质非常相似,但M4恒星形成的气体中这些产物的浓度更高。

英文摘要:

We present measurements of the neutron-capture elements Rb and Pb for bright giants in the globular clusters M4 and M5. The clusters are of similar metallicity ([Fe/H] = -1.2) but M4 is decidedly s-process enriched relative to M5: [Ba/Fe] = +0.6 for M4 but 0.0 for M5. The Rb and Pb abundances were derived by comparing synthetic spectra with high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio spectra obtained with MIKE on the Magellan telescope. Abundances of Y, Zr, La, and Eu were also obtained. In M4, the mean abundances from 12 giants are [Rb/Fe] = 0.39 +/- 0.02 (sigma = 0.07), [Rb/Zr] = 0.17 +/- 0.03 (sigma = 0.08), and [Pb/Fe] = 0.30 +/- 0.02 (sigma = 0.07). In M5, the mean abundances from two giants are [Rb/Fe] = 0.00 +/- 0.05 (sigma = 0.06), [Rb/Zr] = 0.08 +/- 0.08 (sigma = 0.11), and [Pb/Fe] = -0.35 +/- 0.02 (sigma = 0.04). Within the measurement uncertainties, the abundance ratios [Rb/Fe], [Pb/Fe] and [Rb/X] for X = Y, Zr, La are constant from star-to-star in each cluster and none of these ratios are correlated with O or Na abundances. While M4 has a higher Rb abundance than M5, the ratios [Rb/X] are similar in both clusters indicating that the nature of the s-products are very similar for each cluster but the gas from which M4's stars formed had a higher concentration of these products.
