球状星团恒星的原始和演化丰度变化:一个有两个未知数的问题

The primordial and evolutionary abundance variations in globular-cluster stars: a problem with two unknowns

Pavel Denissenkov, Don VandenBerg, David Hartwick, Falk Herwig, Achim Weiss, Bill Paxton

摘要:

我们证明了在迄今提出的大质量AGB星的热底燃烧和超大质量和快速旋转大质量MS星对流核的H燃烧等球状星团恒星中质子俘获元素原始丰度变化的可能来源中,只有M > 10的超大质量MS星,000 Msun可以解释所有观测到的丰度相关性,而无需对模型参数进行任何微调。我们使用我们假设的原始气体M13(NGC 6205)的化学成分,以及它与60,000 Msun MS模型星中H燃烧部分处理的50%和90%的材料的混合物作为这个球状星团中低质量恒星的正常、中间和极端种群的初始成分,正如其O-Na反相关所表明的那样。我们发展这些恒星从零年龄MS的RGB提示与热盐和参数处方的RGB额外的混合。我们发现,3 He驱动的热盐对流不能解释M13 RGB星中[C/Fe]的演化下降,而另一方面,利用观测到的[C/Fe]随MV的下降在不具有原始丰度变化的球状星团NGC 5466中校准的混合深度和速率的普适值,可以很好地再现这一现象.

英文摘要:

We demonstrate that among the potential sources of the primordial abundance variations of the proton-capture elements in globular-cluster stars proposed so far, such as the hot-bottom burning in massive AGB stars and H burning in the convective cores of supermassive and fast-rotating massive MS stars, only the supermassive MS stars with M > 10,000 Msun can explain all the observed abundance correlations without any fine-tuning of model parameters. We use our assumed chemical composition for the pristine gas in M13 (NGC6205) and its mixtures with 50% and 90% of the material partially processed in H burning in the 60,000 Msun MS model star as the initial compositions for the normal, intermediate and extreme populations of low-mass stars in this globular cluster, as suggested by its O-Na anti-correlation. We evolve these stars from the zero-age MS to the RGB tip with the thermohaline and parametric prescriptions for the RGB extra mixing. We find that the 3He-driven thermohaline convection cannot explain the evolutionary decline of [C/Fe] in M13 RGB stars, which, on the other hand, is well reproduced with the universal values for the mixing depth and rate calibrated using the observed decrease of [C/Fe] with MV in the globular cluster NGC5466 that does not have the primordial abundance variations.
