摘要:

大多数(也许是所有)银河系球状星团(GGC)很可能经历了两次甚至更多的恒星形成事件。这是特别表明,由特殊的化学组成的星团的恒星,显示大的变化,轻元素,如Li,C,N,O,Na,Mg,和Al的丰度。我们研究了Na,Mg,和Al的丰度在103红巨星支星位于下方(49颗恒星)和上方(54颗恒星)的RGB凸点在GGC 47 Tuc的大气。我们的结果表明,[Na/Fe]丰度比的扩展约为[Mg/Fe]的三倍。我们的数据也证实了弱Na-Al相关性的存在,类似于在其他GGC中观察到的。与此同时,我们没有发现Carretta et al.(2013)最近报道的三种具有不同铝丰度特征的恒星群存在的证据。

英文摘要:

It is very likely that most (perhaps all) Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) have experienced two or even more star-formation episodes. This is indicated, in particular, by peculiar chemical composition of the cluster stars which show large variation in the abundances of light elements, such as Li, C, N, O, Na, Mg, and Al. We studied the abundances of Na, Mg, and Al in the atmospheres of 103 red giant branch stars located below (49 stars) and above (54 stars) the RGB bump in the GGC 47 Tuc. Our results show that the spread of [Na/Fe] abundance ratios is about three times larger than that of [Mg/Fe]. Our data also confirm the existence of weak Na-Al correlation, similar to the one observed in other GGCs. At the same time, we find no evidence for the existence of three populations of stars characterized with different abundances of aluminum, as reported recently by Carretta et al. (2013).
