主序列后的蓝色散兵游勇

Blue Stragglers After the Main Sequence

Alison Sills, Amanda Karakas, John Lattanzio

摘要:

我们研究后主序星(蓝离散星)之间的碰撞产物的主序星演化,特别感兴趣的水平分支和渐近巨星分支阶段。我们发现蓝离散子星在红巨星分支的颜色-星等图上稍微偏蓝,并且比水平分支亮0.2到1等。我们还发现水平分支上碰撞产物的寿命与许多作者在一些球状星团中发现的所谓“演化蓝离散星”(E-BSS)的数目一致,并且几乎与质量或初始成分分布无关。观测到的E-BSS与蓝离散星的数量比表明蓝离散星的主序列寿命平均约为1-2 Gyr。

英文摘要:

We study the post-main sequence evolution of products of collisions between main sequence stars (blue stragglers), with particular interest paid to the horizontal branch and asymptotic giant branch phases. We found that the blue straggler progeny populate the colour-magnitude diagram slightly blueward of the red giant branch and between 0.2 and 1 magnitudes brighter than the horizontal branch. We also found that the lifetimes of collision products on the horizontal branch is consistent with the numbers of so-called "evolved blue straggler stars" (E-BSS) identified by various authors in a number of globular clusters, and is almost independent of mass or initial composition profile. The observed ratio of the number of E-BSS to blue stragglers points to a main sequence lifetime for blue stragglers of approximately 1-2 Gyr on average.
