贫金属球状星团NGC 6397的差示化学元素分析

A differential chemical element analysis of the metal poor Globular Cluster NGC 6397

Andreas Koch, Andrew McWilliam

摘要:

我们目前的化学丰度在三个红巨星和两个关闭的恒星在贫金属银河系球状星团(GC)NGC 6397的基础上获得的光谱与MIKE高分辨率摄谱仪的麦哲伦6.5米粘土望远镜。我们的研究结果是基于一个线的差分丰度分析相对于研究良好的红巨星大角星和星系晕场星Hip 66815。平均值为-2.10 +/- 0.02(统计学)+/- 0.07(系统)不同的铁丰度与文献中基于GF值的其他研究非常一致。和以前一样,微分工作我们发现了一个明显偏离电离平衡的现象,Fe I和Fe II的丰度相差约0.1 dex,RGB和TO星的符号相反。α-元素的比例分别提高到0.4(RGB)和0.3德克斯(TO),我们也确认强烈的变化,在O,Na和Al/Fe丰度比。因此,其中一颗红巨星的轻元素丰度模式可以归因于早期大质量SNe II的污染。TO和RGB的丰度并没有显著的不同,可能除了镁和钛,这是,然而,被放大的模式在一个TO星,另外属于这早期一代的GC星。我们讨论了这些轻元素的GC金属丰度的函数的相互关系。

英文摘要:

We present chemical abundances in three red giants and two turn-off stars in the metal poor Galactic globular cluster (GC) NGC 6397 based on spectroscopy obtained with the MIKE high resolution spectrograph on the Magellan 6.5-m Clay telescope. Our results are based on a line-by-line differential abundance analysis relative to the well-studied red giant Arcturus and the Galactic halo field star Hip 66815. At a mean of -2.10 +/- 0.02 (stat.) +/- 0.07 (sys.) the differential iron abundance is in good agreement with other studies in the literature based on gf-values. As in previous, differential works we find a distinct departure from ionization equilibrium in that the abundances of Fe I and Fe II differ by ~0.1 dex, with opposite sign for the RGB and TO stars. The alpha-element ratios are enhanced to 0.4 (RGB) and 0.3 dex (TO), respectively, and we also confirm strong variations in the O, Na, and Al/Fe abundance ratios. Accordingly, the light-element abundance patterns in one of the red giants can be attributed to pollution by an early generation of massive SNe II. TO and RGB abundances are not significantly different, with the possible exception of Mg and Ti, which is, however, amplified by the patterns in one TO star, additionally belonging to this early generation of GC stars. We discuss interrelations of these light elements as a function of the GC metallicity.
