摘要:

我们提出了一个样本的恒星与$-4<$ [Fe/H] $<-2$丰度分析的结果。这些数据是用凯克天文台的HIRES摄谱仪获得的。该星群包括28颗恒星,有效温度范围为4800 - 6600 K。对于13颗具有[Fe/H] $<-2.6$的恒星,包括9颗具有[Fe/H] $<-3.0$的恒星和1颗具有[Fe/H] $=-4.0$的恒星,这些是首次报道的详细丰度。对于我们样本中最缺乏金属的恒星CS 30336-049,我们测量到的丰度模式与[Fe/H] $\sim-3.5$范围内的恒星非常相似,包括正常的C+N丰度。我们还发现,它有非常低的,但可测量的Sr和Ba,表明一些中子捕获活动,即使在这种低的金属丰度。我们进一步探讨这个问题,通过检查其他非常中子捕获缺陷的恒星,并发现在最低水平,[Ba/Sr]表现出的比率的主要r-过程。我们还报道了一颗新的r过程增强星CS 31078-018。这颗恒星有[Fe/H] $=-2.85$、[Eu/Fe] $=1.23$和[Ba/Eu] $=-0.51$。CS 31078-018表现出“锕系元素增强”,即[Th/Eu]比预期高得多,与CS 31082-001的水平相似。我们的光谱使我们能够进一步限制低金属丰度的丰度散射,然后我们使用它来拟合Heger & Woosley(2008)的零金属丰度II型超新星产额。我们发现,超新星与10和20 M之间的祖质量$_{\odot}$提供了最好的匹配,我们的丰度。

英文摘要:

We present the results of an abundance analysis for a sample of stars with $-4<$[Fe/H]$<-2$. The data were obtained with the HIRES spectrograph at Keck Observatory. The set includes 28 stars, with effective temperature ranging from 4800 to 6600 K. For 13 stars with [Fe/H]$<-2.6$, including nine with [Fe/H]$<-3.0$ and one with [Fe/H]$=-4.0$, these are the first reported detailed abundances. For the most metal-poor star in our sample, CS 30336-049, we measure an abundance pattern that is very similar to stars in the range [Fe/H]$\sim-3.5$, including a normal C+N abundance. We also find that it has very low but measurable Sr and Ba, indicating some neutron-capture activity even at this low of a metallicity. We explore this issue further by examining other very neutron-capture-deficient stars, and find that at the lowest levels, [Ba/Sr] exhibits the ratio of the main r-process. We also report on a new r-process-enhanced star, CS 31078-018. This star has [Fe/H]$=-2.85$, [Eu/Fe]$=1.23$, and [Ba/Eu]$=-0.51$. CS 31078-018 exhibits an ``actinide boost'', i.e. much higher [Th/Eu] than expected and at a similar level to CS 31082-001. Our spectra allow us to further constrain the abundance scatter at low metallicities, which we then use to fit to the zero-metallicity Type II supernova yields of Heger & Woosley (2008). We find that supernovae with progenitor masses between 10 and 20 M$_{\odot}$ provide the best matches to our abundances.
