球状星团NGC ~1851:C+N+O中红巨星的详细丰度和多星群的起源

Detailed abundances of Red Giants in the Globular Cluster NGC~1851: C+N+O and the Origin of Multiple Populations

Sandro Villanova, Douglas Geisler, Giampaolo Piotto

摘要:

对分布在(v,v-y)CMD两个红巨星分支(RGB)上的球状星团NGC~1851的15颗RGB星进行了化学丰度分析。我们测定了C+N+O、Na、$α$、铁峰和S元素的丰度。我们发现,这两个RGB种群显着不同的光(N,O,Na)和S-元素含量。另一方面,它们的$α$和铁峰元素含量没有显示任何显著差异。更重要的是,两个RGB种群的总C+N+O含量没有显示出任何显着差异。我们的研究结果不支持以前的假设,即两个RGB和两个亚巨星分支的集群的起源是有关的不同内容的$α$(包括Ca)或铁峰元素,或C+N+O丰度,由于第二代被SNeII污染。

英文摘要:

We present chemical abundance analysis of a sample of 15 red giant branch (RGB) stars of the Globular Cluster NGC~1851 distributed along the two RGBs of the (v, v-y) CMD. We determined abundances for C+N+O, Na, $α$, iron-peak, and s-elements. We found that the two RGB populations significantly differ in their light (N,O,Na) and s-element content. On the other hand, they do not show any significant difference in their $α$ and iron-peak element content. More importantly, the two RGB populations do not show any significant difference in their total C+N+O content. Our results do not support previous hypotheses suggesting that the origin of the two RGBs and the two subgiant branches of the cluster is related to a different content of either $α$ (including Ca) or iron-peak elements, or C+N+O abundance, due to a second generation polluted by SNeII.
