摘要:

背景:近年来,太阳化学丰度的研究已经相当详细,因为不同的指标,即推断太阳金属丰度的差异值,一方面是借助太阳大气三维流体动力学模型进行光谱化学成分分析得出的“太阳下”光球丰度,另一方面是日震学推断的高金属丰度。目标:在以前的工作中使用CO 5 BOLD 3D流体动力学太阳模型研究了太阳氧丰度之后,我们采用了类似的方法研究了太阳氮丰度,因为该元素占整个太阳金属丰度Z的很大一部分。实验方法:我们使用的原子谱线的选择,以确定太阳氮丰度,主要依靠在文献中的等效宽度测量。我们调查的丰度分析的影响,从当地的热力学平衡(“NLTE效应”)和光球的不均匀性(“造粒效应”)的偏差。结果:我们推荐使用太阳氮丰度A(N)=7.86+-0.12,其误差线反映了线到线的散射。结论:基于CO 5 BOLD的氮和氧丰度所暗示的太阳金属丰度在0.0145<= Z <= 0.0167的范围内。这一结果是一个步骤,协调光球丰度与日震约束Z。我们最合适的估计是Z=0.0156和Z/X=0.0213。

英文摘要:

CONTEXT: In recent years, the solar chemical abundances have been studied in considerable detail because of discrepant values of solar metallicity inferred from different indicators, i.e., on the one hand, the "sub-solar" photospheric abundances resulting from spectroscopic chemical composition analyses with the aid of 3D hydrodynamical models of the solar atmosphere, and, on the other hand, the high metallicity inferred by helioseismology. AIMS: After investigating the solar oxygen abundance using a CO5BOLD 3D hydrodynamical solar model in previous work, we undertake a similar approach studying the solar abundance of nitrogen, since this element accounts for a significant fraction of the overall solar metallicity, Z. METHOD: We used a selection of atomic spectral lines to determine the solar nitrogen abundance, relying mainly on equivalent width measurements in the literature. We investigate the influence on the abundance analysis, of both deviations from local thermodynamic equilibrium ("NLTE effects") and photospheric inhomogeneities ("granulation effects"). RESULTS: We recommend use of a solar nitrogen abundance of A(N)=7.86+-0.12 whose error bar reflects the line-to-line scatter. CONCLUSION: The solar metallicity implied by the CO5BOLD-based nitrogen and oxygen abundances is in the range 0.0145<= Z <= 0.0167. This result is a step towards reconciling photospheric abundances with helioseismic constraints on Z. Our most suitable estimates are Z=0.0156 and Z/X=0.0213.
