贫金属星HD 160617中所有三个r过程峰的元素检测

Detection of Elements at All Three r-process Peaks in the Metal-Poor Star HD 160617

Ian U. Roederer, James E. Lawler

摘要:

我们报告的第一个检测元素在所有三个r-过程中的金属贫晕星HD 160617的峰值。这些元素包括砷和硒,它们以前在晕星中没有被检测到,以及碲,锇,铱和铂,它们以前已经被检测到。这些元素的吸收线是在哈勃太空望远镜上的太空望远镜成像光谱仪进行的存档观测中发现的。我们提出了最新的绝对原子跃迁概率和完整的线组件模式,这些元素。这颗恒星的其他档案光谱从几个地面仪器使我们能够获得HD 160617中45种元素的丰度或上限,其中包括27种由中子捕获反应产生的元素。在三个r-过程峰值的元素的平均丰度是类似于预测的太阳系r-过程残差时,缩放到稀土元素域的丰度。砷和硒的这一结果可能是令人惊讶的,因为预测最轻的r过程元素的生产通常应该与较重的r过程元素分离。

英文摘要:

We report the first detection of elements at all three r-process peaks in the metal-poor halo star HD 160617. These elements include arsenic and selenium, which have not been detected previously in halo stars, and the elements tellurium, osmium, iridium, and platinum, which have been detected previously. Absorption lines of these elements are found in archive observations made with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. We present up-to-date absolute atomic transition probabilities and complete line component patterns for these elements. Additional archival spectra of this star from several ground-based instruments allow us to derive abundances or upper limits of 45 elements in HD 160617, including 27 elements produced by neutron-capture reactions. The average abundances of the elements at the three r-process peaks are similar to the predicted solar system r-process residuals when scaled to the abundances in the rare earth element domain. This result for arsenic and selenium may be surprising in light of predictions that the production of the lightest r-process elements generally should be decoupled from the heavier r-process elements.
