摘要:

我们提出了详细的模型,低和中等质量的渐近巨星分支(AGB)的恒星和不包括在核网络中的18F(a,p)21 Ne反应,该反应的速率最近已被实验评估的第一次。该反应的较低和推荐的测量速率对恒星产额的影响可以忽略不计,而速率的上限影响19 F和21 Ne的产生。19 F的恒星产额增加了约50%,达到4.5倍,21 Ne增加了约2倍,达到9.6倍。虽然18}F(a,p)21 Ne反应与18 O反应竞争,但释放的额外质子被18 O捕获以促进18 O(p,a)15 N(a,g)19 F链。使用速率上限得到的19 F丰度较高,有助于匹配AGB星中观察到的[F/O]比,但仅适用于大的C/O比。提出了额外混合工艺来帮助解决这个问题。18F(a,p)21 Ne速率可能更接近其上限的一些证据是,He间壳层中较高的21 Ne/22 Ne比值为AGB星碳化硅颗粒的Ne同位素组成提供了解释。这需要通过18 F(a,p)21 Ne反应速率的未来实验来证实。从AGB恒星获得精确的氟产量将是解释碳增强贫金属恒星中该元素观测结果的基础。

英文摘要:

We present detailed models of low and intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with and without the 18F(a,p)21Ne reaction included in the nuclear network, where the rate for this reaction has been recently experimentally evaluated for the first time. The lower and recommended measured rates for this reaction produce negligible changes to the stellar yields, whereas the upper limit of the rate affects the production of 19F and 21Ne. The stellar yields increase by ~50% to up to a factor of 4.5 for 19F, and by factors of ~2 to 9.6 for 21Ne. While the 18}F(a,p)21Ne reaction competes with 18O production, the extra protons released are captured by 18O to facilitate the 18O(p,a)15N(a,g)19F chain. The higher abundances of 19F obtained using the upper limit of the rate helps to match the [F/O] ratios observed in AGB stars, but only for large C/O ratios. Extra-mixing processes are proposed to help to solve this problem. Some evidence that the 18F(a,p)21Ne rate might be closer to its upper limit is provided by the fact that the higher calculated 21Ne/22Ne ratios in the He intershell provide an explanation for the Ne isotopic composition of silicon-carbide grains from AGB stars. This needs to be confirmed by future experiments of the 18F(a,p)21Ne reaction rate. The availability of accurate fluorine yields from AGB stars will be fundamental for interpreting observations of this element in carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars.
