球状星团中轻元素丰度的变化

Light-element abundance variations in globular clusters

Sarah L. Martell

摘要:

在银河系所有已被彻底研究的球状星团中,在所有演化阶段的恒星中,都观察到了轻元素碳、氮、氧和钠丰度的星与星之间的变化。可用于研究这一现象的数据,以及关于其起源的假设,都与观测技术共同发展;一旦球状星团中的主序星的高分辨率光谱可用,涉及多个紧密间隔的恒星世代的场景,通过中等质量和高质量恒星的反馈而丰富,开始在文献中获得吸引力。本文简要回顾了球状星团丰度不均匀性的观测历史,讨论了目前流行的丰度不均匀性起源模型,并对该问题需要进一步研究的几个方面进行了思考。

英文摘要:

Star-to-star variations in abundances of the light elements carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sodium have been observed in stars of all evolutionary phases in all Galactic globular clusters that have been thoroughly studied. The data available for studying this phenomenon, and the hypotheses as to its origin, have both co-evolved with observing technology; once high-resolution spectra were available even for main-sequence stars in globular clusters, scenarios involving multiple closely spaced stellar generations enriched by feedback from moderate- and high-mass stars began to gain traction in the literature. This paper briefly reviews the observational history of globular cluster abundance inhomogeneities, discusses the presently favored models of their origin, and considers several aspects of this problem that require further study.
