摘要:

我们目前的元素丰度的118颗恒星(其中28个是已知的太阳系外行星的宿主恒星)观察到的英澳行星搜索的一部分。给出了O、Mg、Cr、Y、Zr、Ba、Nd和Eu的丰度(以及先前公布的C和Si的丰度)。这项研究是第一个专门研究行星宿主恒星中中子捕获反应产生的重元素的研究之一。我们发现,宿主星的化学性质不同的标准太阳丰度和非宿主星在所有元素的研究,与非宿主星的富集范围从0.06德克斯(O)到0.11德克斯(铬和Y)。这样的丰度趋势与其他以前的研究领域的明星,并导致我们得出结论,在行星宿主恒星中观察到的化学异常是正常的银河系化学演化过程的结果。基于这一观察,我们得出结论,所观察到的行星宿主恒星的化学特征是原始的起源,来自原始星云,而不是来自形成过程中或之后发生的“污染”过程,并且行星形成是随着恒星物质的演化而自然发生的。

英文摘要:

We present elemental abundances of 118 stars (28 of which are known extrasolar planetary host stars) observed as part of the Anglo-Australian Planet Search. Abundances of O, Mg, Cr, Y, Zr, Ba, Nd and Eu (along with previously published abundances for C and Si) are presented. This study is one of the first to specifically examine planetary host stars for the heavy elements produced by neutron capture reactions. We find that the host stars are chemically different to both the standard solar abundance and non-host stars in all elements studied, with enrichments over non-host stars ranging from 0.06 dex (for O) to 0.11 dex (for Cr and Y). Such abundance trends are in agreement with other previous studies of field stars and lead us to conclude that the chemical anomalies observed in planetary host stars are the result of normal galactic chemical evolution processes. Based on this observation, we conclude that the observed chemical traits of planetary host stars are primordial in origin, coming from the original nebula and not from a ``pollution'' process occurring during or after formation and that planet formation occurs naturally with the evolution of stellar material.
