摘要:

我们报告了在汉堡/ESO贫金属星巡天和斯隆数字巡天中发现的34颗[Fe/H] <-3.0的恒星。它们的丰度中位数和最小值分别为[Fe/H] = -3.1和-4.1,而10颗恒星的[Fe/H] <-3.5。高分辨率,高S/N光谱数据-等效宽度和径向速度-为这些恒星,连同另外四个对象以前报告或目前正在其他地方进行调查。我们已经确定了大气参数,有效温度(Teff)和表面重力(logg),这是至关重要的化学丰度和这些恒星的演化状态的确定。三种技术被用来获得这些参数。分光光度法拟合模型大气通量被用来获得Teff,logg,和估计E(B-V); Halpha,Hbeta和Hgamma配置文件拟合模型大气结果提供了第二次确定Teff和logg;最后,我们使用了经验的Teff校准的Hdelta指数,第三,独立的Teff测定。Teff的三个值非常一致,尽管曲线拟合可能会产生系统性较低的Teff值,约为100 K。这个集合的数据集将在本系列的未来论文中进行分析,以利用最贫金属的恒星作为早期宇宙条件的探测器。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of 34 stars in the Hamburg/ESO Survey for metal-poor stars and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey that have [Fe/H] < -3.0. Their median and minimum abundances are [Fe/H] = -3.1 and -4.1, respectively, while 10 stars have [Fe/H] < -3.5. High-resolution, high-S/N spectroscopic data - equivalent widths and radial velocities - are presented for these stars, together with an additional four objects previously reported or currently being investigated elsewhere. We have determined the atmospheric parameters, effective temperature (Teff) and surface gravity (logg), which are critical in the determination of the chemical abundances and the evolutionary status of these stars. Three techniques were used to derive these parameters. Spectrophotometric fits to model atmosphere fluxes were used to derive Teff, logg, and an estimate of E(B-V); Halpha, Hbeta, and Hgamma profile fitting to model atmosphere results provided the second determination of Teff and logg; and finally, we used an empirical Teff-calibrated Hdelta index, for the third, independent Teff determination. The three values of Teff are in good agreement, although the profile fitting may yield systematically cooler Teff values, by ~100K. This collective data set will be analyzed in future papers in the present series to utilize the most metal-poor stars as probes of conditions in the early Universe.
