摘要:

大约10-20%的主序星A型和B型恒星的光球层表现出广泛的化学特性,通常与磁场的存在有关。这些化学特性是在恒星演化的哪个阶段形成的,目前还不清楚。为了研究这个问题,本文研究了Herbig Ae和Be星的样本的光球组成,它们被认为是A星和B星的前主序星。我们已经对20颗赫比格星(其中3颗已经证实有磁场)和一颗年轻的尘埃星进行了详细的丰度分析。我们发现,在我们的样本中,有一半的恒星在不同程度上表现出lambda Boo化学特性,只有一颗恒星表现出弱的Ap/Bp特性,其余的恒星都是化学正常的。我们在赫比格恒星中发现的lambda Boo化学特性的发生率远远高于主序星。我们认为,一个选择性的吸积模型的lambda Boo星的形成是一个自然的解释,在我们的样本中的数量非常大的lambda Boo星。我们还发现,磁性赫比格星并没有表现出一系列的化学成分显着不同于正常的恒星:一个磁星显示lambda Boo化学特性(HD 101412),一个显示弱Ap/Bp特性(V380 Ori A),和一个(HD 190073)是化学正常的。这与在主序上所看到的完全不同,在主序上,所有的磁性A星和冷B星都显示出Ap/Bp的化学特性,这与磁场先于Ap和Bp星典型化学特性形成的观点一致。

英文摘要:

The photospheres of about 10-20% of main sequence A- and B-type stars exhibit a wide range of chemical peculiarities, often associated with the presence of a magnetic field. It is not exactly known at which stage of stellar evolution these chemical peculiarities develop. To investigate this issue, in this paper we study the photospheric compositions of a sample of Herbig Ae and Be stars, which are considered to be the pre-main sequence progenitors of A and B stars. We have performed a detailed abundance analysis of 20 Herbig stars (three of which have confirmed magnetic fields), and one dusty young star. We have found that half the stars in our sample show lambda Boo chemical peculiarities to varying degrees, only one star shows weak Ap/Bp peculiarities, and all the remaining stars are chemically normal. The incidence of lambda Boo chemical peculiarities we find in Herbig stars is much higher than what is seen on the main sequence. We argue that a selective accretion model for lambda Boo star formation is a natural explanation for the remarkably large number of lambda Boo stars in our sample. We also find that the magnetic Herbig stars do not exhibit a range of chemical compositions remarkably different from the normal stars: one magnetic star displays lambda Boo chemical peculiarities (HD 101412), one displays weak Ap/Bp peculiarities (V380 Ori A), and one (HD 190073) is chemically normal. This is completely different from what is seen on the main sequence, where all magnetic A and cool B stars show Ap/Bp chemical peculiarities, and this is consistent with the idea that the magnetic field precedes the formation of the chemical peculiarities typical of Ap and Bp stars.
