摘要:

我们报告发现的趋势,增加钡丰度减少年龄的大样本的银河系疏散星团。观测到的[Ba/Fe]与年龄的关系可以用银河系化学演化模型再现,但前提是低质量恒星中$s$过程的Ba产额要高于中子俘获核合成参数化模型所建议的平均值。我们表明,这是可能的情况下,额外的混合过程产生的中子源$^{13}$ C的效率是反相关的初始质量,具有更大的效率为较低的质量。这是类似于已知的趋势,延长混合情节在富氢层的作用,并可能提出一个共同的物理机制。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of a trend of increasing barium abundance with decreasing age for a large sample of Galactic open clusters. The observed pattern of [Ba/Fe] vs. age can be reproduced with a Galactic chemical evolution model only assuming a higher Ba yield from the $s$-process in low-mass stars than the average one suggested by parametrized models of neutron-capture nucleosynthesis. We show that this is possible in a scenario where the efficiency of the extra-mixing processes producing the neutron source $^{13}$C is anti-correlated with the initial mass, with a larger efficiency for lower masses. This is similar to the known trend of extended mixing episodes acting in H-rich layers and might suggest a common physical mechanism.
