摘要:

我们提供了锰丰度(校正的超精细结构的影响)的大量恒星在矮球状星系的玉夫座和天炉座,并在船底座和六分仪dSph星系的数量较少。在这些星系中,已经确定了许多其他元素的丰度,包括α和铁峰,这使我们能够建立[Mn/Fe]和[Mn/α]与[Fe/H]图。锰丰度意味着在所有四个星系检查的恒星亚太阳[Mn/Fe]比。在Sculptor中,[Mn/Fe]在[Fe/H] \sim -1.8和-1.4之间大致保持恒定,并在较高的铁丰度下降低。在天炉座中,[Mn/Fe]与[Fe/H]之间没有任何显著的差异。dSph星系的[Mn/alpha]和[Fe/H]之间的关系明显系统地偏离了银河系,这反映了各自星系不同的恒星形成历史。[Mn/alpha]行为可以解释为II型和Ia型超新星的金属依赖的Mn产额的结果。我们还计算了化学演化模型的恒星形成的历史相匹配的经验确定的雕塑家,天炉座,船底座,并为锰产量的超新星Ia,这被认为是恒定的或可变的金属丰度。观察到的[Mn/Fe]与[Fe/H]的关系,在雕塑,天炉座,和船底座可以复制的化学演化模型,包括金属依赖的Mn产量从超新星Ia。

英文摘要:

We provide manganese abundances (corrected for the effect of the hyperfine structure) for a large number of stars in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies Sculptor and Fornax, and for a smaller number in the Carina and Sextans dSph galaxies. Abundances had already been determined for a number of other elements in these galaxies, including alpha and iron-peak ones, which allowed us to build [Mn/Fe] and [Mn/alpha] versus [Fe/H] diagrams. The Mn abundances imply sub-solar [Mn/Fe] ratios for the stars in all four galaxies examined. In Sculptor, [Mn/Fe] stays roughly constant between [Fe/H]\sim -1.8 and -1.4 and decreases at higher iron abundance. In Fornax, [Mn/Fe] does not vary in any significant way with [Fe/H]. The relation between [Mn/alpha] and [Fe/H] for the dSph galaxies is clearly systematically offset from that for the Milky Way, which reflects the different star formation histories of the respective galaxies. The [Mn/alpha] behavior can be interpreted as a result of the metal-dependent Mn yields of type II and type Ia supernovae. We also computed chemical evolution models for star formation histories matching those determined empirically for Sculptor, Fornax, and Carina, and for the Mn yields of SNe Ia, which were assumed to be either constant or variable with metallicity. The observed [Mn/Fe] versus [Fe/H] relation in Sculptor, Fornax, and Carina can be reproduced only by the chemical evolution models that include a metallicity-dependent Mn yield from the SNe Ia.
