摘要:

大量的光谱研究揭示了恒星化学丰度的模式,为球状星团中存在多个星族提供了证据。本文旨在研究这些丰度模式的成因。我们探索的模型中,第二代(SG)恒星形成的原始气体和喷出物的第一代渐近巨星分支星的混合。我们首先研究了球状星团中SG星的光谱数据对渐近和超渐近巨星分支喷出物化学性质的约束。用一个简单的单区化学模型,我们然后探讨SG人口丰度模式的形成,我们的注意力集中在Na-O,Al-Mg的丰度关系和氦的分布函数。我们进行了调查的模型,并探讨最终SG的化学性质的依赖性的关键参数影响的气体动力学和SG的形成过程。最后,我们使用我们的化学演化框架建立了NGC 2808和M4的具体模型,这两个星系团球状星团在Na-O和Mg-Al的关系中表现出不同的模式,并具有不同的氦分布。我们发现,原始气体的量参与SG星的形成是一个关键参数,以适应所观察到的O-Na和Mg-Al图案。这些模型的氦分布函数与观测值基本一致。我们的模型,通过阐明不同参数的作用及其相互作用,在确定最终的SG化学性质,说明了基本成分,约束条件和遇到的问题,在这种自富集的情况下,必须解决更复杂的化学和流体动力学模拟。

英文摘要:

A large number of spectroscopic studies have provided evidence of the presence of multiple populations in globular clusters by revealing patterns in the stellar chemical abundances. This paper is aimed at studying the origin of these abundance patterns. We explore a model in which second generation (SG) stars form out of a mix of pristine gas and ejecta of the first generation of asymptotic giant branch stars. We first study the constraints imposed by the spectroscopic data of SG stars in globular clusters on the chemical properties of the asymptotic and super asymptotic giant branch ejecta. With a simple one-zone chemical model, we then explore the formation of the SG population abundance patterns focussing our attention on the Na-O, Al-Mg anticorrelations and on the helium distribution function. We carry out a survey of models and explore the dependence of the final SG chemical properties on the key parameters affecting the gas dynamics and the SG formation process. Finally, we use our chemical evolution framework to build specific models for NGC 2808 and M4, two Galactic globular clusters which show different patterns in the Na-O and Mg-Al anticorrelation and have different helium distributions. We find that the amount of pristine gas involved in the formation of SG stars is a key parameter to fit the observed O-Na and Mg-Al patterns. The helium distribution function for these models is in general good agreement with the observed one. Our models, by shedding light on the role of different parameters and their interplay in determining the final SG chemical properties, illustrate the basic ingredients, constraints and problems encountered in this self-enrichment scenario which must be addressed by more sophisticated chemical and hydrodynamic simulations.
