贫金属星

Metal-Poor Stars

Anna Frebel

摘要:

贫金属恒星的丰度模式为我们提供了关于银河系化学演化各个阶段的丰富化学信息。特别是,这些恒星使我们能够研究元素的形成和演化以及所涉及的核合成过程。这些知识对于我们理解宇宙化学演化和恒星与星系形成的开始是非常宝贵的。贫金属恒星是高红移宇宙的局部等价物,并对第一批恒星的性质提供了至关重要的观测限制。这篇综述介绍了贫金属恒星的首次发现的历史,为这一领域奠定了基础。在最低的金属丰度观测到的丰度趋势进行了描述,以及特定类别的金属贫星,如r-过程和C-丰富的明星。讨论了贫金属星丰度的起源和大样本贫金属星在宇宙学问题中的应用。

英文摘要:

The abundance patterns of metal-poor stars provide us a wealth of chemical information about various stages of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. In particular, these stars allow us to study the formation and evolution of the elements and the involved nucleosynthesis processes. This knowledge is invaluable for our understanding of the cosmic chemical evolution and the onset of star- and galaxy formation. Metal-poor stars are the local equivalent of the high-redshift Universe, and offer crucial observational constraints on the nature of the first stars. This review presents the history of the first discoveries of metal-poor stars that laid the foundation to this field. Observed abundance trends at the lowest metallicities are described, as well as particular classes of metal-poor stars such as r-process and C-rich stars. Scenarios on the origins of the abundances of metal-poor stars and the application of large samples of metal-poor stars to cosmological questions are discussed.
