摘要:

目标。我们提出了一个光谱分析M67(关闭,亚巨星和巨星)的演化恒星的样本,以使观测的限制,考虑到非标准的运输过程的演化模型。方法.利用基于MARCS模型大气的光谱合成方法,测定了M67 27颗演化恒星的恒星参数(Teff,log g,[Fe/H])、微湍流速度、自转速度和锂丰度(ALi)。我们还计算了非标准的恒星演化模型,考虑到原子扩散和旋转引起的角动量和化学物质的传输,与这组均匀的数据进行了比较。结果我们从样本中的27颗恒星中得出的锂丰度遵循一个清晰的演化模式,从关闭到红巨星分支。我们的丰度测定证实了众所周知的演化恒星锂含量的减少。我们首次对TO和M67演化恒星的均匀样本中观察到的表面旋转速度和锂丰度模式提供了一致的解释。结果表明,在低质量恒星中,特别是在太阳金属丰度下初始质量大于1.30 M_ \odot的恒星中,锂的演化是由转动诱导混合引起的角动量演化决定的.

英文摘要:

Aims. We present a spectroscopic analysis of a sample of evolved stars in M67 (turn-off, subgiant and giant stars) in order to bring observational constraints to evolutionary models taking into account non-standard transport processes. Methods. We determined the stellar parameters (Teff, log g, [Fe/H]), microturbulent and rotational velocities and, Lithium abundances (ALi) for 27 evolved stars of M67 with the spectral synthesis method based on MARCS model atmospheres. We also computed non-standard stellar evolution models, taking into account atomic diffusion and rotation-induced transport of angular momentum and chemicals that were compared with this set of homogeneous data. Results. The lithium abundances that we derive for the 27 stars in our sample follow a clear evolutionary pattern ranging from the turn-off to the Red Giant Branch. Our abundance determination confirms the well known decrease of lithium content for evolved stars. For the first time, we provide a consistent interpretation of both the surface rotation velocity and of the lithium abundance patterns observed in an homogeneous sample of TO and evolved stars of M67. We show that the lithium evolution is determined by the evolution of the angular momentum through rotation-induced mixing in low-mass stars, in particular for those with initial masses larger than 1.30 M_\odot at solar metallicity.
