利用疏散星团研究低质量和中等质量恒星的混合

Using open clusters to study mixing in low- and intermediate-mass stars

Rodolfo Smiljanic

摘要:

在许多演化阶段,低质量和中等质量的恒星显示出表面物质与内部物质混合的迹象。为了解释观测所揭示的所有细节,有必要在模型中包括非标准的物理过程(例如原子扩散和旋转引起的混合)。对不同质量、年龄和化学成分的恒星混合的研究有助于识别和限制这些过程。从这个意义上说,疏散星团中的恒星是理想的目标。一个星团中的所有恒星都具有相同的年龄和化学成分,它们的质量可以很好地估计。通过研究许多集群,人们可以分离和跟踪这些不同参数的影响。

英文摘要:

In many evolutionary stages, low- and intermediate-mass stars show signs of mixing of the surface material with material from the interior. To account for all the details revealed by the observations it is necessary to include non-standard physical processes in the models (e.g. atomic diffusion and rotation-induced mixing). The study of mixing in stars of different masses, ages, and chemical composition helps to identify and constrain these processes. In this sense, stars in open clusters are the ideal targets. All stars in one given cluster have the same age and chemical composition, and their masses can be well estimated. By studying many clusters, one can separate and trace the effects of these different parameters.
