摘要:

本文报道了HERES计划中新发现的两颗强r过程增强的贫金属恒星CS 29491-069([Fe/H]=-2.51,[r/Fe]=+1.1)和HE 1219-0312([Fe/H]=-2.96,[r/Fe]=+1.5)的详细丰度分析。分析是基于高质量的VLT/UVES光谱和MARCS模式大气。我们在CS 29491-069和HE 1219-0312的光谱中检测到15个重元素的谱线;在这两种情况下,包括Th II 4019的谱线。这两颗恒星的重元素丰度模式大多与不是由s过程形成的定标太阳剩余丰度相匹配。我们还比较了观察到的模式与最近的高熵风(HEW)的计算,假设核心坍缩超新星的大质量恒星的天体物理环境的r-过程,并找到很好的协议,大多数镧系元素。较轻的元素锶,钇和锆,这大概不是由主要的r-过程形成的丰度比,再现模型。根据观测到的钍和稀土元素丰度对,对CS 29491-069进行放射性年代测定,得出的平均年龄为9.5 Gyr(基于太阳r-过程残差)和17.6 Gyr(使用HEW模型预测)。在HE 1219-0312的情况下,测时法似乎失败了,由于其高钍丰度而导致负年龄。因此,HE 1219-0312可能表现出过量的最重元素,这有时被称为“锕系元素增强”。

英文摘要:

We report on a detailed abundance analysis of two strongly r-process enhanced, very metal-poor stars newly discovered in the HERES project, CS 29491-069 ([Fe/H]=-2.51, [r/Fe]=+1.1) and HE 1219-0312 ([Fe/H]=-2.96, [r/Fe]=+1.5). The analysis is based on high-quality VLT/UVES spectra and MARCS model atmospheres. We detect lines of 15 heavy elements in the spectrum of CS 29491-069, and 18 in HE 1219-0312; in both cases including the Th II 4019 Å line. The heavy-element abundance patterns of these two stars are mostly well-matched to scaled solar residual abundances not formed by the s-process. We also compare the observed pattern with recent high-entropy wind (HEW) calculations, which assume core-collapse supernovae of massive stars as the astrophysical environment for the r-process, and find good agreement for most lanthanides. The abundance ratios of the lighter elements strontium, yttrium, and zirconium, which are presumably not formed by the main r-process, are reproduced well by the model. Radioactive dating for CS 29491-069 with the observed thorium and rare-earth element abundance pairs results in an average age of 9.5 Gyr, when based on solar r-process residuals, and 17.6 Gyr, when using HEW model predictions. Chronometry seems to fail in the case of HE 1219-0312, resulting in a negative age due to its high thorium abundance. HE 1219-0312 could therefore exhibit an overabundance of the heaviest elements, which is sometimes called an "actinide boost".
