Na-O反相关和HB。VII。从GIRAFFE光谱分析15个球状星团中第一代和第二代恒星的化学组成
Na-O Anticorrelation and HB. VII. The chemical composition of first and second-generation stars in 15 globular clusters from GIRAFFE spectra
摘要:
利用高分辨率FLAMES/GIRAFFE光谱的均匀性分析,给出了15个星系团球状星团中1409颗红巨星的Fe、Na和O丰度。结合目前的数据和以前的结果,我们获得了1958颗恒星的19个星团,这是迄今为止最大和最均匀的数据库。我们的GC的[Fe/H]为-2.4至-0.4,具有各种各样的全局参数(水平分支的形态、质量、浓度等)。对于所有的星系团,我们发现的Na-O的关系,质子捕获反应的经典签名H-燃烧在高温下在上一代更大质量的恒星,现在灭绝。利用定量标准(从形态学和Na-O关系的扩展),我们可以定义GC中恒星星族的三个组成部分:第一代恒星的原始组成部分(P)和第二代恒星的两个组成部分(中间I族和极端E族,因为它们的化学组成不同)。P组分存在于所有GC中,其分数几乎恒定在约三分之一。I分量表示群集总体的大部分。E分量并不存在于所有的GC中,它在一些(但不是所有)最大质量的GC中更为明显。我们讨论的分数和空间分布,这些组件在我们的样本和在两个额外的集群(M3和M13)从文献中。我们还发现,斜率的反相关性(定义的最小O和最大Na丰度)的变化,从集群到集群,一个变化,以及集群金属丰度和光度的双线性关系。这第二种依赖关系表明,污染者的平均质量与集群质量之间存在相关性。
英文摘要:
We present abundances of Fe, Na, and O for 1409 red giant stars in 15 galactic globular clusters, derived from the homogeneous analysis of high resolution FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectra. Combining the present data with previous results, we obtained a total sample of 1958 stars in 19 clusters, the largest and most homogeneous database of this kind to date. Our GCs have [Fe/H] from -2.4 to -0.4, with a wide variety of global parameters (morphology of the horizontal branch, mass, concentration, etc). For all clusters we find the Na-O anticorrelation, the classical signature of proton-capture reactions in H-burning at high temperature in a previous generation of more massive stars, now extinct. Using quantitative criteria (from the morphology and extension of the Na-O anticorrelation), we can define 3 components of the stellar population in GCs: a primordial component (P) of first-generation stars, and 2 components of second-generation stars (intermediate I and extreme E populations from their different chemical composition). The P component is present in all GCs, and its fraction is almost constant at about one third. The I component represents the bulk of the cluster population. The E component is not present in all GCs, and it is more conspicuous in some (but not in all) of the most massive ones. We discuss the fractions and spatial distributions of these components in our sample and in two additional clusters (M3 and M13) from the literature. We also find that the slope of the anti-correlation (defined by the minimum O and maximum Na abundances) changes from cluster-to-cluster, a change that is represented well by a bilinear relation on cluster metallicity and luminosity. This second dependence suggests a correlation between average mass of polluters and cluster mass.
