富碳行星状星云中的氧富集

Oxygen enrichment in carbon-rich planetary nebulae

Gloria Delgado-Inglada, Mónica Rodríguez, Manuel Peimbert, Grażyna Stasińska, Christophe Morisset

摘要:

我们研究了一组20个具有高质量光学和红外光谱的银河系行星状星云(PNe)中存在的化学成分和尘埃类型之间的关系。光谱与最佳电离校正因子一起用于计算Ar、C、Cl、He、N、Ne和O相对于H的丰度。红外光谱被用来分类的PNe在两个组中,这取决于所观察到的灰尘的功能是富氧或富碳环境的代表。样本包含一个来自光晕的对象,八个来自凸起的对象,以及十一个来自局部圆盘的对象。我们比较它们的化学丰度与核合成模型的预测,并在7个银河系H II区域的太阳附近获得的。我们发现O富集的证据(由$\sim$ 0.3 dex),但一个PNE与富碳尘埃(CRD)。我们的分析表明,Ar,特别是Cl,是最好的金属丰度指标的PNE的祖先。有一个紧密的相关性之间的丰度Ar和Cl在所有的对象,在协议的锁步演化的两个元素。Cl丰度所暗示的金属丰度的范围涵盖了一个数量级,我们发现CRD和富氧尘埃(ORD)的PNE的初始质量和金属丰度的显着差异。具有CRD的PNE倾向于具有中等质量和低金属丰度,而大多数具有ORD的PNE显示出较高的N和He富集,这表明它们具有高质量的祖细胞。

英文摘要:

We study the relation between the chemical composition and the type of dust present in a group of 20 Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) that have high quality optical and infrared spectra. The optical spectra are used, together with the best available ionization correction factors, to calculate the abundances of Ar, C, Cl, He, N, Ne, and O relative to H. The infrared spectra are used to classify the PNe in two groups depending on whether the observed dust features are representative of oxygen-rich or carbon-rich environments. The sample contains one object from the halo, eight from the bulge, and eleven from the local disc. We compare their chemical abundances with nucleosynthesis model predictions and with the ones obtained in seven Galactic H II regions of the solar neighbourhood. We find evidence of O enrichment (by $\sim$ 0.3 dex) in all but one of the PNe with carbon-rich dust (CRD). Our analysis shows that Ar, and especially Cl, are the best metallicity indicators of the progenitors of PNe. There is a tight correlation between the abundances of Ar and Cl in all the objects, in agreement with a lockstep evolution of both elements. The range of metallicities implied by the Cl abundances covers one order of magnitude and we find significant differences in the initial masses and metallicities of the PNe with CRD and oxygen-rich dust (ORD). The PNe with CRD tend to have intermediate masses and low metallicities, whereas most of the PNe with ORD show higher enrichments in N and He, suggesting that they had high-mass progenitors.
