摘要:

根据非LTE谱线的形成和高分辨率(R~60000和90000)高信噪比(S/N> 200)观测光谱的分析,确定了4颗极贫金属星(-2.66 <[Fe/H]<-2.15)的恒星参数和Na、Mg、Al、K、Ca、Sr、Ba和Eu的丰度。提出了一个H I的模型原子。一个有效的温度是从巴尔末Halpha和Hbeta线翼拟合,从依巴谷视差的表面重力,如果可用和非LTE之间的电离平衡钙I和钙II。基于影响Ba II共振线的超精细结构,根据Ba II共振线和从属线的Ba丰度必须相等的要求,导出了HD 84937和HD 122563的Ba奇数同位素的丰度分数。对于每个星,非LTE导致Teff从两个巴耳末线的一致性和更高的温度相比,LTE的情况下,高达60 K。非LTE效应是重要的光谱测定的表面重力从钙I/钙II。对于每个已知三角引力的恒星,两个电离阶段的线的非LTE丰度在误差条内一致,而不同恒星的LTE丰度差异为0.23 dex至0.40 dex。从LTE中发现的照片是显着的研究原子,它们强烈依赖于恒星参数。对于HD 84937,Eu/Ba比与相对太阳系r过程丰度一致,并且Ba的奇同位素分数f_odd等于0.43 +-0.14。后者可以作为r-过程模型的约束。HD 122563的Eu/Ba比值较低,fodd = 0.22 ± 0.15,表明s过程或未知过程对该星的Ba丰度有重要贡献。

英文摘要:

Stellar parameters and abundances of Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Eu are determined for four very metal-poor stars (-2.66 < [Fe/H] < -2.15) based on non-LTE line formation and analysis of high-resolution (R ~60000 and 90000) high signal-to-noise (S/N > 200) observed spectra. A model atom for H I is presented. An effective temperature was obtained from the Balmer Halpha and Hbeta line wing fits, the surface gravity from the Hipparcos parallax if available and the non-LTE ionization balance between Ca I and Ca II. Based on the hyperfine structure affecting the Ba II resonance line, the fractional abundance of the odd isotopes of Ba was derived for HD 84937 and HD 122563 from a requirement that Ba abundances from the resonance line and subordinate lines of Ba II must be equal. For each star, non-LTE leads to a consistency of Teff from two Balmer lines and to a higher temperature compared to the LTE case, by up to 60 K. Non-LTE effects are important in spectroscopic determination of surface gravity from Ca I/Ca II. For each star with a known trigonometric gravity, non-LTE abundances from the lines of two ionization stages agree within the error bars, while a difference in the LTE abundances consists of 0.23 dex to 0.40 dex for different stars. Departures from LTE are found to be significant for the investigated atoms, and they strongly depend on stellar parameters. For HD 84937, the Eu/Ba ratio is consistent with the relative solar system r-process abundances, and the fraction of the odd isotopes of Ba, f_odd, equals 0.43+-0.14. The latter can serve as a constraint on r-process models. The lower Eu/Ba ratio and f_odd = 0.22+-0.15 found for HD 122563 suggest that the s-process or the unknown process has contributed significantly to the Ba abundance in this star.
