GJ 117大气层中的6^Li

6^Li in the atmosphere of GJ 117 Revisited

D. J. Christian, M. Mathioudakis, D. Jevremovic

摘要:

在高能太阳事件、一个色球活跃双星和几颗矮晕星中,都发现了6^Li的存在。我们之前使用VLT UVES观测发现活动K矮星GJ 117的6^Li/7^Li = 0.03+/-0.01。在这里,我们提出了高信噪比(>1000)高光谱分辨率的观测与麦克唐纳天文台的2.7米和光栅光谱仪的GJ 117。我们已经使用太阳光谱和模板星来排除可能的混合物,例如在6^Li光谱区的Ti I。我们的新分析,使用更新的PHOENIX模型大气发现6^Li/7^Li = 0.05+/-0.02。此外,平分线分析显示没有会影响锂线轮廓的显著红色不对称。VLT和McDonald数据之间没有发现统计不确定性以上的变化。GJ 117的6^Li含量与恒星表面的溅射反应一致,但我们要提醒的是,连续谱水平的不确定性可能会导致6^Li分数的额外不确定性。

英文摘要:

Detection of 6^Li has been shown for energetic solar events, one chromospherically active binary, and several dwarf halo stars. We had previously found a 6^Li/7^Li = 0.03+/-0.01 for active K dwarf GJ 117 using VLT UVES observations. Here we present high signal-to-noise (>1000) high spectral resolution observations taken with the McDonald Observatory's 2.7m and echelle spectrometer of GJ 117. We have used the solar spectrum and template stars to eliminate possible blends, such as Ti I, in the 6^Li spectral region. Our new analysis, using an updated PHOENIX model atmosphere finds 6^Li/7^Li = 0.05+/-0.02. Additionally, bisector analysis showed no significant red asymmetries that would affect the lithium line profile. No changes above the statistical uncertainties are found between the VLT and McDonald data. The amount of 6^Li derived for GJ 117 is consistent with creation in spallation reactions on the stellar surface, but we caution that uncertainties in the continuum level may cause additional uncertainty in the 6^Li fraction.
