摘要:

本文报道了大麦云星云中4个中等年龄球状星团NGC 1651、1783、1978和2173中27颗红巨星的化学丰度分析结果。该分析基于UVES@VLT光谱仪获得的高分辨率(R ~ 47000)光谱。对于每个集群,我们得出了多达20个丰度比采样的主要化学元素组,即轻奇Z,α,铁峰和中子捕获元素。所有分析的丰度模式在4个星团中表现相似,并且在每个星团中也显示出可忽略的星间分散。对NGC 1651、1783、1978和2173的[Fe/H]分别为-0.30+-0.03、-0.35+-0.02、-0.38+-0.02和-0.51+-0.03 dex。对轻奇Z核的测量给出了轻微的太阳下[Na/Fe]和更显着的[Al/Fe]耗尽(~-0.50dex)。[α/ Fe]丰度比接近太阳,而铁峰元素很好地跟踪了铁的丰度比。s-过程元素的行为是一种特殊的方式:轻s-元素给出太阳下的[Y/Fe]和[Zr/Fe]丰度比,而重s-元素给出相对于太阳值的增强的[Ba/Fe]、[La/Fe]和[Nd/Fe]。此外,[Eu/Fe]丰度比被证明是增强的(~ 0.4 dex)。

英文摘要:

This paper presents the chemical abundance analysis of a sample of 27 red giant stars located in 4 popolous intermediate-age globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, namely NGC 1651, 1783, 1978 and 2173. This analysis is based on high-resolution (R ~ 47000) spectra obtained with the UVES@VLT spectrograph. For each cluster we derived up to 20 abundance ratios sampling the main chemical elemental groups, namely light odd-Z, alpha, iron-peak and neutron-capture elements. All the analysed abundance patterns behave similarly in the 4 clusters and also show negligible star-to-star scatter within each cluster. We find [Fe/H]=-0.30+-0.03, -0.35+-0.02, -0.38+-0.02 and -0.51+-0.03 dex for NGC 1651, 1783, 1978 and 2173, respectively. The measurement of light odd-Z nuclei gives slightly subsolar [Na/Fe] and a more significant [Al/Fe] depletion (~ -0.50 dex). The [alpha / Fe] abundance ratios are nearly solar, while the iron-peak elements well trace that one of the iron. s-process elements behave in a peculiar way: light s-elements give subsolar [Y/Fe] and [Zr/Fe] abundance ratios, while heavy s-elements give enhanced [Ba/Fe], [La/Fe] and [Nd/Fe] with respect to the solar values. Also, the [Eu/Fe] abundance ratio turns out to be enhanced (~ 0.4 dex).
