摘要:

我们以前试图确定为什么Li I 6708线强度的类太阳恒星的差异如此显着,尽管表面相似的恒星参数。本文对118个太阳类似物进行了综合分析,发现Li丰度A_Li与谱线展宽宽度(v_r+m,主要由转动效应贡献)之间存在着密切的联系,从而得出恒星转动可能是控制表面Li含量的主要因素的结论。为了更详细地检验我们的说法,我们研究了恒星活动的程度是否与Li丰度具有类似的相关性,这是因为人们普遍认为旋转和活动之间存在密切联系。我们测量了所有样本星在强Ca II 8542线中心的剩余通量,r_0(8542),已知是一个有用的恒星活动指数,使用新获得的光谱在这个近红外区域。通过从我们已经建立的v_r+m中减去宏观湍流的贡献来估计投影旋转速度(v_esin i)。A_Li与(vs.)r_0(8542)图以及r_0(8542)与v_esin i和A_Li与v_esin i图中的结果,正如预期的那样。随着旋转相关恒星活动的确认,这清楚地表明,这些太阳类似物的表面Li丰度随着旋转速率的降低而逐渐降低。鉴于这一观测证据,我们得出结论,太阳型恒星的表面锂的耗尽,可能是由有效的信封混合,更有效地作为恒星自转减速。这可能是有希望的归属低锂倾向的行星主机G矮星,它们的不同性质的恒星角动量。

英文摘要:

We previously attempted to ascertain why the Li I 6708 line-strengths of Sun-like stars differ so significantly despite the superficial similarities of stellar parameters. We carried out a comprehensive analysis of 118 solar analogs and reported that a close connection exists between the Li abundance A_Li and the line-broadening width (v_r+m; mainly contributed by rotational effect), which led us to conclude that stellar rotation may be the primary control of the surface Li content. To examine our claim in more detail, we study whether the degree of stellar activity exhibits a similar correlation with the Li abundance, which is expected because of the widely believed close connection between rotation and activity. We measured the residual flux at the line center of the strong Ca II 8542 line, r_0(8542), known to be a useful index of stellar activity, for all sample stars using newly acquired spectra in this near-IR region. The projected rotational velocity (v_e sin i) was estimated by subtracting the macroturbulence contribution from v_r+m that we had already established. A remarkable (positive) correlation was found in the A_Li versus (vs.) r_0(8542) diagram as well as in both the r_0(8542) vs. v_e sin i and A_Li vs. v_e sin i diagrams, as had been expected. With the confirmation of rotation-dependent stellar activity, this clearly shows that the surface Li abundances of these solar analogs progressively decrease as the rotation rate decreases. Given this observational evidence, we conclude that the depletion of surface Li in solar-type stars, probably caused by effective envelope mixing, operates more efficiently as stellar rotation decelerates. It may be promising to attribute the low-Li tendency of planet-host G dwarfs to their different nature in the stellar angular momentum.
