摘要:

被认为是在B型恒星的铁丰度诊断的光学Fe III吸收线的作用。到目前为止,紫外Fe线已被广泛用于B型星,虽然线混合会严重阻碍其诊断能力。本文用光谱研究了银河系B型主序星和光谱型为B0.5 ~ B7的超巨星的光谱。将观测到的超巨星的Fe III光谱与模型大气代码TLUSTY(平面平行,非LTE)预测的光谱进行比较,使用SYNSPEC(LTE)和CMFGEN(球形,非LTE)生成的光谱显示,非LTE效应似乎很小。此外,用FEROS观测到的主序星和超巨星的样本显示,LTE丰度估计与银河系环境和以前的光学研究一致。基于目前的研究,我们列出了一些Fe III跃迁,我们建议从早期B型恒星光谱估计铁丰度。

英文摘要:

The role of optical Fe III absorption lines in B-type stars as iron abundance diagnostics is considered. To date, ultraviolet Fe lines have been widely used in B-type stars, although line blending can severely hinder their diagnostic power. Using optical spectra, covering a wavelength range ~ 3560 - 9200 A, a sample of Galactic B-type main-sequence and supergiant stars of spectral types B0.5 to B7 are investigated. A comparison of the observed Fe III spectra of supergiants, and those predicted from the model atmosphere codes TLUSTY (plane-parallel, non-LTE), with spectra generated using SYNSPEC (LTE), and CMFGEN (spherical, non-LTE), reveal that non-LTE effects appear small. In addition, a sample of main-sequence and supergiant objects, observed with FEROS, reveal LTE abundance estimates consistent with the Galactic environment and previous optical studies. Based on the present study, we list a number of Fe III transitions which we recommend for estimating the iron abundance from early B-type stellar spectra.
