摘要:

本文对富碳低金属量星系晕天体CS 22964-161进行了详细的高分辨率光谱分析。我们发现CS 22964-161是一个双线分光双星,并导出了该系统的精确轨道分量。从模型大气分析,我们表明,这两个组件附近的金属贫主序列关闭。这两颗恒星都富含碳和中子捕获元素,这些元素可以在s过程中产生,包括铅。主星还拥有丰富的锂,接近“Spite-Plateau”的值。最简单的解释是,今天看到的双星成员是第三颗恒星的异常丰度的接收者,这颗恒星在AGB演化过程中正在失去质量。我们比较了观测到的CS 22964-161丰度集与AGB星的核合成预测,并讨论了质量转移条件下观测到的恒星的包络稳定性问题,并考虑了所谓的原始三星的动力学稳定性。最后,我们考虑允许锂生存的环境,无论它的来源,在这个非凡的系统的光谱。

英文摘要:

A detailed high-resolution spectroscopic analysis is presented for the carbon-rich low metallicity Galactic halo object CS 22964-161. We have discovered that CS 22964-161 is a double-lined spectroscopic binary, and have derived accurate orbital components for the system. From a model atmosphere analysis we show that both components are near the metal-poor main-sequence turnoff. Both stars are very enriched in carbon and in neutron-capture elements that can be created in the s-process, including lead. The primary star also possesses an abundance of lithium close to the value of the ``Spite-Plateau''. The simplest interpretation is that the binary members seen today were the recipients of these anomalous abundances from a third star that was losing mass as part of its AGB evolution. We compare the observed CS 22964-161 abundance set with nucleosynthesis predictions of AGB stars, and discuss issues of envelope stability in the observed stars under mass transfer conditions, and consider the dynamical stability of the alleged original triple star. Finally, we consider the circumstances that permit survival of lithium, whatever its origin, in the spectrum of this extraordinary system.
