银河系隆起中的两颗钡星

Two barium stars in the Galactic bulge

Thomas Lebzelter, Stefan Uttenthaler, Oscar Straniero, Bernhard Aringer

摘要:

钡星保存了中等质量恒星s过程和第三次疏浚的重要信息。因此,它们在不同环境中的发现对检验核合成和混合模型有很大帮助。我们的目标是分析两颗恒星与一个非常强大的钡线检测在一个大的调查红巨星在银河系的隆起。对基于COMARCS编码的合成模型光谱与我们的中等分辨率光谱进行了对比分析。测定了Ba、La、Y和Fe的丰度。除了这两个主要目标外,还对两颗比较星进行了分析。我们确认这两颗星都是钡星。它们是第一个在银河系核球中发现的这类天体。他们的钡过量是迄今为止发现的最大值之一。元素丰度与目前的核合成和混合模型进行了比较。此外,我们估计钡星在银河系核球中的频率约为1%,这与盘星的值相同。

英文摘要:

Barium stars conserve important information on the s-process and the third dredge-up in intermediate mass stars. Their discovery in various environments is therefore of great help to test nucleosynthesis and mixing models. Our aim is to analyse two stars with a very strong barium line detected in a large survey of red giants in the Galactic bulge. Abundance analysis was done comparing synthetic model spectra based on the COMARCS code with our medium resolution spectra. Abundances of Ba, La, Y, and Fe were determined. Beside the two main targets, the analysis was also applied to two comparison stars. We confirm that both stars are barium stars. They are the first ones of this kind identified in the Galactic bulge. Their barium excesses are among the largest values found up to now. The elemental abundances are compared with current nucleosynthesis and mixing models. Furthermore, we estimate a frequency of barium stars in the Galactic bulge of about 1%, which is identical to the value for disc stars.
