摘要:

银河系的核球是否比伪核球更早地具有经典核球的特征还存在争议。详细的核球星丰度研究是研究核球起源、历史和分类的关键。其目的是增加讨论的起源的隆起和研究详细的丰度确定近红外光谱的隆起巨人已经调查的光学光谱,后者也提供了恒星的参数,这是非常重要的结果,目前的研究。利用甚大望远镜上的CRIRES光谱仪记录了H波段的高分辨率近红外光谱。CNO丰度都可以从观察到的波长范围内的许多分子谱线确定。α元素的丰度也从近红外光谱确定。[O/Fe]、[Si/Fe]和[S/Fe]在金属丰度至少达到[Fe/H]=-0.3时增加,之后下降。这表明银河系的核球经历了一个快速而早期的恒星形成历史,就像经典核球一样。然而,隆起的趋势和局部厚盘的趋势之间的相似性似乎存在。这种相似性可能表明,隆起有一个假隆起的起源。我们的[C/Fe]趋势并没有显示出任何[Fe/H]的增加,如果W-R星对C丰度有很大的贡献,这是可以预期的。在我们观测到的丰度趋势周围没有“宇宙散射”;考虑到观测的不确定性,发现的散射是预料之中的。

英文摘要:

It is debated whether the Milky Way bulge has the characteristics of a classical bulge sooner than those of a pseudobulge. Detailed abundance studies of bulge stars is a key to investigate the origin, history, and classification of the bulge. The aim is to add to the discussion on the origin of the bulge and to study detailed abundances determined from near-IR spectra for bulge giants already investigated with optical spectra, the latter also providing the stellar parameters which are very significant for the results of the present study. Especially, the important CNO elements are better determined in the near-IR. High-resolution, near-infrared spectra in the H band are recorded using the CRIRES spectrometer on the Very Large Telescope. The CNO abundances can all be determined from the numerous molecular lines in the wavelength range observed. Abundances of the alpha elements are also determined from the near-IR spectra. [O/Fe], [Si/Fe] and [S/Fe] are enhanced up to metallicities of at least [Fe/H]=-0.3, after which they decline. This suggests that the Milky Way bulge experienced a rapid and early star-formation history like that of a classical bulge. However, a similarity between the bulge trend and the trend of the local thick disk seems present. Such a similarity could suggest that the bulge has a pseudobulge origin. Our [C/Fe] trend does not show any increase with [Fe/H] which could have been expected if W-R stars have contributed substantially to the C abundances. No "cosmic scatter" can be traced around our observed abundance trends; the scatter found is expected, given the observational uncertainties.
