摘要:

利用哈勃空间望远镜(HST)3号宽视场相机的红外通道拍摄的图像,研究了NGC 2808的多个主序列(MS)。在关闭之下,红色、中间和蓝色的MS,以前从可见波段测光中检测到的,在大约3.5个F160W星等的间隔内可见。三个MS在MS弯曲的水平处合并在一起。在较暗的星等下,MS再次分裂成两个部分,分别包含约65%和约35%的恒星,其中最多的MS是最蓝的。理论上的等时线表明,后者与光学色星等图(CMD)中发现的红色MS有关,因此对应于第一代恒星,具有原始氦和增强的碳和氧丰度。在近红外CMD的微弱部分中的较少的MS是富氦和贫碳和氧的,并且它可以与光学CMD的中间和蓝色MS相关联。在完全对流的MS星中也存在着丰度与光度的关系,这一发现加强了它们具有原始起源的推论。

英文摘要:

We use images taken with the infrared channel of the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to study the multiple main sequences (MSs) of NGC 2808. Below the turn off, the red, the middle, and the blue MS, previously detected from visual-band photometry, are visible over an interval of about 3.5 F160W magnitudes. The three MSs merge together at the level of the MS bend. At fainter magnitudes, the MS again splits into two components containing ~65% and ~35% of stars, with the most-populated MS being the bluest one. Theoretical isochrones suggest that the latter is connected to the red MS discovered in the optical color-magnitude diagram (CMD), and hence corresponds to the first stellar generation, having primordial helium and enhanced carbon and oxygen abundances. The less-populated MS in the faint part of the near-IR CMD is helium-rich and poor in carbon and oxygen, and it can be associated with the middle and the blue MS of the optical CMD. The finding that the photometric signature of abundance anticorrelation are also present in fully convective MS stars reinforces the inference that they have a primordial origin.
