摘要:

球状星团(GC)中Ba丰度的测定是一个非常强大的测试,以解决在多人口的框架下的几个问题。我们使用高分辨率的FLAMES/Giraffe光谱测量了15个银河系GC中1200多颗恒星样本的Ba含量。我们发现每个星团内不同恒星星族的[Ba/Fe]比没有变化;这意味着低质量渐近巨星分支星对星团内污染没有显着贡献。非常有趣的是,我们得到的第一代(FG)星的Ba-星的分数是接近的值($\sim$ 2\%),另一方面,第二代(SG)星提出了一个显着的低分数。通过对NGC~6121巨星径向速度变化的独立测试,证实了我们的发现:FG星的双星比例约为$\sim$ 12%,SG星的双星比例约为$\sim$ 1%.这证明SG星形成于密度较高的环境中,在这种环境中,双星系统的婴儿死亡率特别高。

英文摘要:

The determination of the Ba abundance in globular cluster (GC) stars is a very powerful test to address several issues in the framework of multiple population scenarios. We measured the Ba content for a sample of more than 1200 stars in 15 Galactic GCs, using high-resolution FLAMES/Giraffe spectra. We found no variation in [Ba/Fe] ratios for different stellar populations within each cluster; this means that low-mass asymptotic giant branch stars do not significantly contribute to the intra-cluster pollution. Very interestingly, we obtained that the fraction of Ba-stars in first generation (FG) stars is close to the values derived for field stars ($\sim$2\%); on the other hand, second generation (SG) stars present a significant lower fraction. An independent and successful test, based on radial velocity variations among giant stars in NGC~6121, confirms our finding: the binary fraction among FG stars is about $\sim$12\% to be compared with $\sim$1\% of SG stars. This is an evidence that SG stars formed in a denser environment, where infant mortality of binary systems was particularly efficient.
