星团的化学演化

Chemical evolution of star clusters

Jacco Th. van Loon

摘要:

我讨论了星团的化学演化,重点是古老的球状星团,与它们的形成历史有关。球状星团显然是以一种复杂的方式形成的,形成的条件与目前已知的任何年轻星团都明显不同。这些特殊情况一定与银河系的早期形成时代有关,而且一定是从那以后没有发生过的。虽然有人认为矮星系与球状星团的形成有关,但现今的矮星系并不能代表形成球状星团的重力势阱。相反,在原银河系深处或暗物质迷你晕内形成可能是有利的。并不是所有的球状星团都是以相似的方式形成和演化的。特别是,我们可能需要区分星系晕和星系核团。

英文摘要:

I discuss the chemical evolution of star clusters, with emphasis on old globular clusters, in relation to their formation histories. Globular clusters clearly formed in a complex fashion, under markedly different conditions from any younger clusters presently known. Those special conditions must be linked to the early formation epoch of the Galaxy and must not have occurred since. While a link to the formation of globular clusters in dwarf galaxies has been suggested, present-day dwarf galaxies are not representative of the gravitational potential wells within which the globular clusters formed. Instead, a formation deep within the proto-Galaxy or within dark-matter minihaloes might be favoured. Not all globular clusters may have formed and evolved similarly. In particular, we may need to distinguish Galactic halo from Galactic bulge clusters.
