银盘疏散星团中O和Na的丰度分布

O and Na abundance patterns in open clusters of the Galactic disk

摘要:

目标。在球状星团中观察到了一个全球性的O-Na丰度反相关,这在银河系的场群中是不存在的。疏散星团被认为是化学均匀的内部。我们的目标是探索银河系盘的疏散星团人口之间的O和Na丰度模式。方法.我们结合疏散星团丰度比的O和Na的高分辨率光谱研究在文献中,并将它们归一化到一个共同的太阳尺度。我们将疏散星团的丰度与球状星团和星盘相比较。结果我们发现,不同的环境表现出不同的丰度模式。疏散星团在O-耗尽/Na-增强的极端情况下不表现出球状星团中观察到的O-Na反相关。此外,疏散星团中的高Na丰度与盘场星不匹配。如果这是真的,它可能表明,今天的疏散星团的溶解对银河系盘的形成没有重大贡献。对团簇和场的大规模均匀研究将进一步证实Na增强的真实性。

英文摘要:

Aims. A global O-Na abundance anti-correlation is observed in globular clusters, which is not present in the Galactic field population. Open clusters are thought to be chemically homogeneous internally. We aim to explore the O and Na abundance pattern among the open cluster population of the Galactic disk. Methods. We combine open cluster abundance ratios of O and Na from high-resolution spectroscopic studies in the literature and normalize them to a common solar scale. We compare the open cluster abundances against the globular clusters and disk field. Results. We find that the different environments show different abundance patterns. The open clusters do not show the O-Na anti-correlation at the extreme O-depletion / Na-enhancement as observed in globular clusters. Furthermore, the high Na abundances in open clusters do not match the disk field stars. If real, it may be suggesting that the dissolution of present-day open clusters is not a significant contribution to building the Galactic disk. Large-scale homogeneous studies of clusters and field will further confirm the reality of the Na enhancement.
