摘要:

使用近紫外光谱与哈勃太空望远镜上的太空望远镜成像光谱仪获得的,我们检测到中性碲在三个贫金属恒星丰富的产品的r-过程核合成,BD+17 3248,HD 108317,和HD 128279。碲(Te,Z=52)位于与N=82中子壳层闭合有关的第二个r过程峰(A=130)处,以前在星系晕星中没有发现过。推导出的碲丰度匹配缩放的太阳系r-过程分布的不确定性,确认预测的第二个峰值r-过程残差。这些结果表明,碲主要是在r-过程的主要组成部分,以及稀土元素。

英文摘要:

Using near-ultraviolet spectra obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope, we detect neutral tellurium in three metal-poor stars enriched by products of r-process nucleosynthesis, BD+17 3248, HD 108317, and HD 128279. Tellurium (Te, Z=52) is found at the second r-process peak (A=130) associated with the N=82 neutron shell closure, and it has not been detected previously in Galactic halo stars. The derived tellurium abundances match the scaled solar system r-process distribution within the uncertainties, confirming the predicted second peak r-process residuals. These results suggest that tellurium is predominantly produced in the main component of the r-process, along with the rare earth elements.
