球状星团中两个恒星星族的动力学混合

Dynamical mixing of two stellar populations in globular clusters

T. Decressin, H. Baumgardt, P. Kroupa

摘要:

球状星团(GC)中的恒星表现出一种特殊的化学模式,轻元素丰度变化很大,而重元素丰度不变。这些丰度异常可以用原始污染来解释,这是由于第一代快速旋转的大质量恒星向ISM释放了缓慢的风,从而形成了第二代化学异常恒星。特别是观测到的异常星和标准星的比率可以用来限制GC的动力学演化,因为大约95%的标准星需要被星团丢失。我们发现,在团簇形成和长期演化过程中的残余气体排出需要达到这个比例。

英文摘要:

Stars in globular clusters (GCs) exhibit a peculiar chemical pattern with strong abundance variations in light elements along with a constant abundance in heavy elements. These abundance anomalies can be explained by a primordial pollution due to a first generation of fast rotating massive stars which released slow winds into the ISM from which a second generation of chemically anomalous stars can be formed. In particular the observed ratio of anomalous and standard stars in clusters can be used to constrain the dynamical evolution of GCs as around 95% of the standard stars need to be lost by the clusters. We show that both residual gas expulsion during the cluster formation and long term evolution are needed to achieve this ratio.
