摘要:

先前在少数贫金属球状星团(GC)的调查表明,锂和质子捕获元素丰度的测定提供了一个关键的工具,以解决集群内的污染情况。在这封信中,我们提出了Na,O和Li丰度在一个大样本的矮恒星在富含金属的GC 47图格里克。我们发现了一个明确的Na-O的关系,与Carretta等人获得的巨大成员的一致性很好。虽然锂和氧的丰度似乎是正相关的彼此,有一个大的分散,远远超过观测误差,并没有与钠的关系。这些发现表明,由于恒星内部的机制(比Spite高原上的恒星更冷,更富含金属),Li耗尽与负责Na-O关系的通常污染情景相结合。

英文摘要:

Previous surveys in a few metal-poor globular clusters (GCs) showed that the determination of abundances for Li and proton-capture elements offers a key tool to address the intracluster pollution scenario. In this Letter, we present Na, O, and Li abundances in a large sample of dwarf stars in the metal-rich GC 47 Tucanae. We found a clear Na-O anticorrelation, in good agreement with what obtained for giant members by Carretta et al. While lithium and oxygen abundances appear to be positively correlated with each other, there is a large scatter, well exceeding observational errors, and no anticorrelation with sodium. These findings suggest that Li depletion, due to mechanisms internal to the stars (which are cooler and more metal-rich than those on the Spite plateau), combines with the usual pollution scenario responsible for the Na-O anticorrelation.
