摘要:

为了研究演化中质量恒星包层中演化诱导混合的性质,我们对12颗不同脉动周期的造父变星进行了广泛的光谱研究(~2-16天),以确定C、N、O和Na的光球丰度,这些是调查氢燃烧产物如何从内部回收的关键要素,基于在Bohyunsan天文台收集的122个宽波长覆盖的高色散阶梯光栅光谱(每个目标约10个)。根据Fe I和Fe II谱线的等效宽度,建立了相应的大气参数,并考虑了非LTE效应,利用光谱合成拟合技术,从C I、O I、NI和Na I谱线中得到了C、N、O和Na的丰度。结果表明,12颗程序星的这些元素丰度显示出非常小的星与星色散(<~0.1-0.2dex),与脉动周期无显著相关性:近日铁([Fe/H] ~0.0)、中等丰度不足的C([C/H]~ 0.3)、略过丰度的N([N/H] ~+0.4-0.5)和轻度超日Na([Na/H] +0.2)。我们从这些观测事实中得出以下结论:(1)这些CNO丰度趋势可以解释为主要是由于CN循环物质的正则疏浚,而任何显着的非正则深度混合的ON循环气体被排除(虽然只有轻微的混合可能仍然是可能的)。(2)Na的含量虽然不多,但确实过多,这表明NeNa循环的产物也被挖掘出来了。(3)造父变星包络中混合诱导的特性的程度基本上与绝对大小无关;即,也是关于恒星质量的。

英文摘要:

With an aim of investigating the nature of evolution-induced mixing in the envelope of evolved intermediate-mass stars, we carried out an extensive spectroscopic study for 12 Cepheid variables of various pulsation periods (~2-16 days) to determine the photospheric abundances of C, N, O, and Na, which are the key elements for investigating how the H-burning products are salvaged from the interior, based on 122 high-dispersion echelle spectra (~10 per target) of wide wavelength coverage collected at Bohyunsan Astronomical Observatory. Having established the relevant atmospheric parameters corresponding to each phase spectroscopically from the equivalent widths of Fe I and Fe II lines, we derived C, N, O, and Na abundances from C I, O I, N I, and Na I lines by using the spectrum-synthesis fitting technique, while taking into account the non-LTE effect. The resulting abundances of these elements for 12 program stars turned out to show remarkably small star-to-star dispersions (<~0.1-0.2dex) without any significant dependence upon the pulsation period: near-solar Fe ([Fe/H] ~0.0), moderately underabundant C ([C/H] -0.3), appreciably overabundant N ([N/H] ~+0.4-0.5), and mildly supersolar Na ([Na/H] +0.2). We conclude the following implications from these observational facts: (1) These CNO abundance trends can be interpreted mainly as due to the canonical dredge-up of CN-cycled material, while any significant non-canonical deep mixing of ON-cycled gas is ruled out (though only a slight mixing may still be possible). (2) The mild but definite overabundance of Na suggests that the NeNa-cycle product is also dredged up. (3) The extent of mixing-induced peculiarities in the envelope of Cepheid variables is essentially independent on the absolute magnitude; i.e., also on the stellar mass.
