摘要:

我们研究了外盘疏散星团Tombaugh 2的化学组成的性质,Frinchaboy等人(2008)最近的一项研究表明它具有内在的金属丰度分散。我们的目标是调查这样的索赔获得的高分辨率光谱的一些恒星在汤博2领域,连同独立的UBVIc测光。光谱,连同输入的大气参数和模型大气,被用来确定详细的化学丰度的各种元素在13个成员具有良好的光谱。我们发现平均金属丰度为[Fe/H]=-0.31+-0.02,没有证据表明存在内在丰度分散,这与Frinchaboy等人(2008年)的最新结果相反。我们发现Ca和Ba略有增强,而Ni和Sc是太阳能。发现r过程元素Eu增强,得到平均[Eu/Ba]=+0.17。在上巨星支,Li丰度随Teff的增加而降低,在红团簇星上保持较低水平。我们得到的平均金属丰度是在很好的协议与预期的径向丰度梯度在磁盘上的星系团在其银河系中心的距离。Frinchaboy等人(2008)发现的令人惊讶的结果,即在星团内存在两个不同的丰度组,这意味着要么是一个完全独特的疏散星团,具有内在的金属丰度分布,要么是一个非常不可能的冷恒星流和一个非常遥远的疏散星团的叠加,但我们的新结果并不支持。

英文摘要:

We investigate the nature of the chemical composition of the outer disc open cluster Tombaugh 2, that a recent study by Frinchaboy et al. (2008) suggested to possess an intrinsic metal abundance dispersion. We aim to investigate such claims by high resolution spectra obtained for a number of stars in the Tombaugh 2 field, together with independent UBVIc photometry. The spectra, together with input atmospheric parameters and model atmospheres, are used to determine detailed chemical abundances for a variety of elements in 13 members having good spectra. We find the mean metallicity to be [Fe/H]=-0.31+-0.02 with no evidence for an intrinsic abundance dispersion, in contrary to the recent results of Frinchaboy et al. (2008). We find Ca and Ba to be slightly enhanced while Ni and Sc are solar. The r-process element Eu was found to be enhanced, giving an average [Eu/Ba]=+0.17. The Li abundance decreases with Teff on the upper giant branch and maintains a low level for red clump stars. The mean metallicity we derive is in good agreement with that expected from the radial abundance gradient in the disc for a cluster at its Galactocentric distance. The surprising result found by Frinchaboy et al. (2008), that is the presence of 2 distinct abundance groups within the cluster, implying either a completely unique open cluster with an intrinsic metallicity spread, or a very unlikely superposition of a cold stellar stream and a very distant open cluster, is not supported by our new result.
