摘要:

先前对主序星和红巨星中锂丰度的分析揭示了恒星内部混合机制而不是对流的作用。锂丰度测定的恒星中的铍丰度可以为这些机制的性质提供有价值的补充信息。我们的目的是推导出一个疏散星团IC 4651的铍丰度沿整个演化序列。这些被使用的丰度与以前确定的锂丰度,在相同的样本恒星,在一个范围内的恒星质量和演化阶段的混合机制进行调查。新的铍的丰度确定从高分辨率,高信号噪声UVES光谱使用光谱合成和模型大气。Be线区域的仔细合成模型被用来计算快速旋转恒星的可靠丰度。所观察到的行为的Be和Li进行比较,从恒星模型,包括旋转引起的混合,内部重力波,原子扩散,和温盐混合的理论预测。在所有主序星和关闭样本星中都能检测到BERYO,包括慢速和快速旋转的恒星,包括Li-dip星,但在红巨星中没有检测到。重复以前的结果,我们发现,锂浸也是一个Be浸,虽然在相应的有效温度范围内的Be的消耗是比锂更温和。对于后主序星,Be稀释开始早于Hertzsprung间隙比预期的经典预测一样,Li稀释。一个明确的分散在Be丰度也观察到。包括上述流体动力学输运过程的理论恒星模型能够很好地再现所有观测到的特征。

英文摘要:

[abridged] Previous analyses of lithium abundances in main sequence and red giant stars have revealed the action of mixing mechanisms other than convection in stellar interiors. Beryllium abundances in stars with lithium abundance determinations can offer valuable complementary information on the nature of these mechanisms. Our aim is to derive beryllium abundances along the whole evolutionary sequence of an open cluster, IC 4651. These Be abundances are used together with previously determined Li abundances, in the same sample stars, to investigate the mixing mechanisms in a range of stellar masses and evolutionary stages. New beryllium abundances are determined from high-resolution, high signal-to-noise UVES spectra using spectrum synthesis and model atmospheres. The careful synthetic modelling of the Be lines region is used to calculate reliable abundances in rapidly rotating stars. The observed behavior of Be and Li is compared to theoretical predictions from stellar models including rotation-induced mixing, internal gravity waves, atomic diffusion, and thermohaline mixing. Beryllium is detected in all the main sequence and turn-off sample stars, both slow- and fast-rotating stars, including the Li-dip stars, but was not detected in the red giants. Confirming previous results, we find that the Li dip is also a Be dip, although the depletion of Be is more modest than that of Li in the corresponding effective temperature range. For post-main-sequence stars, the Be dilution starts earlier within the Hertzsprung gap than expected from classical predictions as does the Li dilution. A clear dispersion in the Be abundances is also observed. Theoretical stellar models including the hydrodynamical transport processes mentioned above are able to reproduce well all the observed features.
