摘要：

长期以来，AGB星一直被认为是银河系球状星团中观测到的重要的星与星之间轻元素变化的原因。我们分析了第一代旋转中等质量恒星对第二代球状星团恒星化学性质的主要影响。旋转模型的计算没有磁场和内部重力波的影响。它们解释了纬向流和湍流的输送。我们计算了银河系球状星团所覆盖的金属丰度范围内的初始质量在2.5和8 Msun之间的标准和旋转恒星模型的演化。在中心氦燃烧，旋转混合运输新鲜的CO丰富的材料从核心向氢燃烧的外壳，导致初级14 N的生产。在质量大于M > 4 Msun的恒星中，对流包层在第二次疏浚期间到达这个水库，导致恒星表面和恒星风中的总C+N+O含量大幅增加。相应的污染取决于初始金属丰度。在中低金属丰度时，它与在球状星团低质量恒星中观察到的C+N+O的恒定性不一致。与给定的输入物理，我们的模型表明，大质量旋转AGB星没有塑造在低和中等金属丰度球状星团中观察到的丰度模式。另一方面，我们的非旋转模型不能预测表面C+N+O的增强，因此更适合作为球状星团化学异常的来源，显示出C+N+O的恒定性。然而，目前没有理由认为中等质量的恒星没有旋转。

英文摘要：

AGB stars have long been held responsible for the important star-to-star variations in light elements observed in Galactic globular clusters. We analyse the main impacts of a first generation of rotating intermediate-mass stars on the chemical properties of second-generation globular cluster stars. The rotating models were computed without magnetic fields and without the effects of internal gravity waves. They account for the transports by meridional currents and turbulence. We computed the evolution of both standard and rotating stellar models with initial masses between 2.5 and 8 Msun within the metallicity range covered by Galactic globular clusters. During central He-burning, rotational mixing transports fresh CO-rich material from the core towards the hydrogen-burning shell, leading to the production of primary 14N. In stars more massive than M > 4 Msun, the convective envelope reaches this reservoir during the second dredge-up episode, resulting in a large increase in the total C+N+O content at the stellar surface and in the stellar wind. The corresponding pollution depends on the initial metallicity. At low- and intermediate-metallicity, it is at odds with the constancy of C+N+O observed among globular cluster low-mass stars. With the given input physics, our models suggest that massive rotating AGB stars have not shaped the abundance patterns observed in low- and intermediate-metallicity globular clusters. Our non-rotating models, on the other hands, do not predict surface C+N+O enhancements, hence are in a better position as sources of the chemical anomalies in globular clusters showing the constancy of the C+N+O. However at the moment, there is no reason to think that intermediate mass stars were not rotating.
