摘要:

利用7颗贫金属场巨星的F丰度和2σ上限,讨论了低金属丰度下恒星F的核合成。这些测量值来自23358 nm的HF(1-0)R9线,使用甚大望远镜CRIRES获得的近红外K波段高分辨率光谱。该样品的金属丰度低于先前对场巨星F的研究,范围从[Fe/H] = -1.56到-2.13。三维模型大气的影响上导出的F和O丰度的定量估计,并显示程序星是微不足道的。将观测到的F产额[F/O]与两套银河系化学演化模型进行了比较,定量地说明了II型超新星(SN II)ν-过程和渐近巨星分支/Wolf-Rayet星的贡献。结果发现,在这个低金属丰度区,模型不能很好地预测观测到的[F/O]分布,而考虑中微子能量为E_v = 3 × 10^53 erg的SN II ν-过程的模型能更好地拟合观测结果。我们的样本包含HD 110281,一个逆行的低α晕星,显示出与球状星团相似的F演化。这支持了这样一种理论,即晕星可能是从晕中球状星团的矮星系祖先吸积而来的。

英文摘要:

With abundances and 2σ upper limits of fluorine (F) in seven metal-poor field giants, nucleosynthesis of stellar F at low metallicity is discussed. The measurements are derived from the HF(1-0) R9 line at 23358Å using nearinfrared K-band high-resolution spectra obtained with CRIRES at the Very Large Telescope. The sample reaches lower metallicities than previous studies on F of field giants, ranging from [Fe/H] = -1.56 down to -2.13. Effects of three-dimensional model atmospheres on the derived F and O abundances are quantitatively estimated and shown to be insignificant for the program stars. The observed F yield in the form of [F/O] is compared with two sets of Galactic chemical evolution models, which quantitatively demonstrate the contribution of Type II supernova (SN II) ν-process and asymptotic giant branch/Wolf-Rayet stars. It is found that at this low-metallicity region, models cannot well predict the observed distribution of [F/O], while the observations are better fit by models considering an SN II ν-process with a neutrino energy of E_ν = 3 x 10^53 erg. Our sample contains HD 110281, a retrograde orbiting low-α halo star, showing a similar F evolution as globular clusters. This supports the theory that such halo stars are possibly accreted from dwarf galaxy progenitors of globular clusters in the halo.
