再论球状星团的形成

Rethinking Globular Cluster Formation

Alvio Renzini

摘要:

本文旨在强调一些主要的提示,限制和困难,我们目前试图了解如何形成球状星团,随着他们的多个恒星世代,一个问题,必须被视为密切相关的形成过程本身。因此,所涉及的主题包括i)所需的祖星质量,ii)如何在已经被前一代恒星拥挤的环境中形成新的恒星,iii)测光和光谱学如何显示第二代恒星的不同形成过程,iv)原始物质的稀释是否可以(或可能不是)形成第二代所必需的,v)为什么具有多种铁丰度的少数集群与均匀的集群毕竟没有那么大的不同,最后vi)为什么特殊的环境条件可能不是形成具有多个恒星世代的球状星团所必需的。

英文摘要:

This paper is aimed at emphasizing some of the main hints, constraints and difficulties we currently have in trying to understand how globular clusters formed, along with their multiple stellar generations, an issue that must be regarded as intimately connected to the formation process itself. Thus, the topics that are addressed include i) the required mass of the progenitor, ii) how to form new stars in an environment already crowded by a previous stellar generation, iii) how photometry and spectroscopy appear to suggest different formation processes for second generation stars, iv) whether dilution with pristine material may (or may not) be necessary for the formation of second generations, v) why the few clusters with multiple iron abundances are after all not so different from those that are homogeneous, and finally vi) why special environmental conditions may not be necessary for the formation of globular clusters with multiple stellar generations.
