星系晕的非均匀模型:s-和r-过程元素中观测到的扩散的可能解释

An inhomogeneous model for the Galactic halo: a possible explanation for the spread observed in s- and r-process elements

G. Cescutti

摘要:

我们提出了一个相当大的分散的中子捕获元素的丰度在太阳附近的低金属丰度的恒星中观察到的α-元素相比,观察到的小恒星到恒星的散射的解释。我们已经开发了一个随机化学演化模型,其中的主要假设是一个随机形成的新的恒星的条件下,累积质量分布遵循一个给定的初始质量函数。利用我们的模型,我们能够再现低金属丰度恒星中中子捕获元素和α元素的不同分布。中子俘获元素和α-元素观测到的不同扩散的原因在于恒星的随机诞生,再加上α-元素和中子俘获元素起源于不同的恒星质量范围。特别是,α元素的生产地点是整个大质量恒星的范围,从10到80 Msun,而中子捕获元素的生产质量范围在12到30 Msun之间。

英文摘要:

We propose an explanation for the considerable scatter of the abundances of neutron capture elements observed in low-metallicity stars in the solar vicinity, compared to the small star-to-star scatter observed for the alpha-elements. We have developed a stochastic chemical evolution model in which the main assumption is a random formation of new stars subject to the condition that the cumulative mass distribution follows a given initial mass function. With our model, we are able to reproduce the different spreads of neutron capture elements and alpha-elements in low-metallicity stars. The reason for different observed spread in neutron capture elements and alpha-elements resides in the random birth of stars, coupled with different stellar mass ranges, from which alpha-elements and neutron capture elements originate. In particular, the site of production of alpha-elements is the whole range of massive stars, from 10 to 80 Msun whereas the mass range of production for neutron capture elements lies between 12 and 30 Msun.
