CEMP-s/r双星的r过程增强效应

The effect of r-process enhancement in binary CEMP-s/r stars

Sara Bisterzo, Roberto Gallino

摘要:

大约一半的碳和s过程增强贫金属星(CEMP-s)表现出高r过程富集(CEMP-s/r),与纯s过程贡献不相容。CEMP-s恒星质量较低(M <0.9 Msun),属于双星系统。C和S过程的富集是由AGB伴星(现在是一颗白矮星)的风进行的质量转移造成的。相反,r-过程的核合成被认为发生在大质量恒星中,爆炸为II型超新星。最具代表性的r-过程元素是Eu(占太阳能Eu的95%)。我们认为,r-过程的富集已经存在的本地SNII污染的分子云,从形成的二元系统。初始r-富集不影响s-过程核合成。然而,s-过程指标[hs/ls](其中ls定义为Y和Zr的平均值; hs定义为La、Nd、Sm的平均值)和[Pb/hs]可能取决于初始r-增强。例如,hs峰必须考虑r过程的贡献,估计为太阳能La的30%,太阳能Nd的40%和太阳能Sm的70%。在未演化的晕星中观察到[Eu/Fe]~2的大范围扩散。在存在一个非常高的初始r-富集的分子云,最大的[hs/Fe]预测在CEMP-s/r星可能会增加到0.3德克斯。相反,在未演化的晕星中观察到的[Y,Zr/Fe]的扩散最大值仅为~0.5 dex,对预测的[ls/Fe]影响不大。这与CEMP-s/r星的观测结果一致,CEMP-s/r星的[hs/ls]平均值高于CEMP-s。初步结果。

英文摘要:

About half of carbon and s-process enhanced metal-poor stars (CEMP-s) show a high r-process enrichment (CEMP-s/r), incompatible with a pure s-process contribution. CEMP-s stars are of low mass (M < 0.9 Msun) and belong to binary systems. The C and s-process enrichment results from mass transfer by the winds of the primary AGB companion (now a white dwarf). The nucleosynthesis of the r-process, instead, is believed to occur in massive stars exploding as Supernovae of Type II. The most representative r-process element is Eu (95% of solar Eu). We suggest that the r-process enrichment was already present by local SNII pollution in the molecular cloud from which the binary system formed. The initial r-enrichment does not affect the s-process nucleosynthesis. However, the s-process indicators [hs/ls] (where ls is defined as the average of Y and Zr; hs as the average of La, Nd, Sm) and [Pb/hs] may depend on the initial r-enhancement. For instance, the hs-peak has to account of an r-process contribution estimated to be 30% for solar La, 40% for solar Nd, and 70% for solar Sm. A large spread of [Eu/Fe] is observed in unevolved halo stars up to [Eu/Fe] ~ 2. In presence of a very high initial r-enrichment of the molecular cloud, the maximum [hs/Fe] predicted in CEMP-s/r stars may increase up to 0.3 dex. Instead, the spread of [Y,Zr/Fe] observed in unevolved halo stars reaches a maximum of only ~ 0.5 dex, not affecting much the predicted [ls/Fe]. This is in agreement with observations of CEMP-s/r stars that show an observed [hs/ls] in average higher than that observed in CEMP-s. Preliminary results are presented.
