摘要:

对年轻星团恒星锂丰度的测定表明,它们在主序前阶段有不同程度的锂贫化。铍的丰度与锂的丰度是互补的,可以帮助追踪恒星内部的混合过程。我们的目标是获得铍的样品中的G-和K-型恒星的两个年轻的主序疏散星团,IC 2391和IC 2602。Be丰度被用来研究这些恒星内部物质的混合。本文还详细研究了Be谱线在低温下作为丰度指标的可靠性。我们来自高分辨率,高信号噪声UVES/VLT光谱使用光谱合成和模型大气的丰度。大气参数和其他元素丰度采用了以前的工作。样本恒星的质量在0.80 < M/Msun < 1.20之间。它们的锂丰度相差约0.60 dex,在较冷和较低质量的恒星中,A(Li)较低。在这里,我们发现,所有的恒星有相同的Be丰度的不确定性。这些观测结果表明,在这个质量范围内,Be丰度不受主序前混合事件的影响,与演化模型的预期一致。与老星团中Be丰度的比较表明,与模型相反,冷恒星在其主序星寿命期间耗尽Be,证实了文献中先前提出的观点。

英文摘要:

The determination of lithium abundances in stars of young clusters have shown that they deplete Li by different degrees during their pre-main sequence phase. Beryllium abundances are complementary to the lithium ones, and can help tracing the mixing processes in the stellar interiors. Our aim is to derive beryllium abundances in a sample of G- and K-type stars of two young pre-main sequence open clusters, IC 2391 and IC 2602. The Be abundances are used to investigate the mixing of internal material in these stars. The reliability of the Be lines as abundance indicators in low-temperatures is also investigated in detail. We derived Be abundances from high-resolution, high signal-to-noise UVES/VLT spectra using spectrum synthesis and model atmospheres. Atmospheric parameters and other elemental abundances are adopted from a previous work. The sample stars have masses in the range between 0.80 < M/Msun < 1.20. They have been shown to differ in lithium abundance by about 0.60 dex, with lower A(Li) in cooler and lower mass stars. Here, we find that all the stars have the same Be abundance within the uncertainties. These observations show that the Be abundance is not affected by the mixing events in the pre-main sequence, in this mass range, in agreement with the expectation of evolutionary models. A comparison with Be abundances in older clusters shows that, contrary to the models, cool stars deplete Be during their main-sequence lifetime, confirming what has been previously suggested in the literature.
