摘要:

今天人们普遍认为,银河系球状星团(GGC)至少由两代恒星组成,这两代恒星的化学成分不同,年龄也可能不同。然而,这些恒星世代的运动学性质的知识,这可能提供重要的信息,约束GGC的进化方案,仍然是有限的。因此,我们研究了银河系球状星团47 Tuc中不同恒星世代的化学和运动学性质之间的联系。为了实现这一目标,我们使用了丰富的锂,O和Na确定在101主序星关闭(TO)的帮助下,三维流体动力学模型大气和NLTE丰度分析方法。根据TO星在[Li/Na]-[Na/O]平面上的位置,我们将TO星分为三组,研究它们的空间分布和运动学性质。我们发现,有统计上显着的径向依赖性的锂和氧的丰度,A(Li)和A(O),以及[Li/Na]丰度比。我们的研究结果表明,第一代恒星的中心集中度和动态热比恒星属于后代。我们还发现了一个显着的相关性之间的速度色散和O和Na的丰度,和之间的速度色散和[Na/O]丰度比。

英文摘要:

It is generally accepted today that Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) consist of at least two generations of stars that are different in their chemical composition and perhaps age. However, knowledge about the kinematical properties of these stellar generations, which may provide important information for constraining evolutionary scenarios of the GGCs, is still limited. We therefore study the connections between chemical and kinematical properties of different stellar generations in the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tuc. To achieve this goal, we used abundances of Li, O, and Na determined in 101 main sequence turn-off (TO) stars with the aid of 3D hydrodynamical model atmospheres and NLTE abundance analysis methodology. We divided our sample TO stars into three groups according to their position in the [Li/Na]-[Na/O] plane to study their spatial distribution and kinematical properties. We find that there are statistically significant radial dependencies of lithium and oxygen abundances, A(Li) and A(O), as well as that of [Li/Na] abundance ratio. Our results show that first-generation stars are less centrally concentrated and dynamically hotter than stars belonging to subsequent generations. We also find a significant correlation between the velocity dispersion and O and Na abundance, and between the velocity dispersion and the [Na/O] abundance ratio.
