摘要:

贫金属恒星提供了银河系化学演化和核合成过程的化石记录,这些过程发生在我们银河系历史的最早时期。通过对低质量、极贫金属恒星([Fe/H] < -3)的详细丰度研究,我们可以追踪并帮助限制银河系中第一批重元素的形成过程。在这里,我们提出了一个~25星级均匀分析样品的金属贫候选人从汉堡/ESO调查的结果。我们已经推导出了大量的元素,从锂到钡,涵盖生产过程,从流体静力燃烧到中子捕获。样本包括一些迄今为止研究过的最贫金属的恒星([Fe/H] < -4),以及一些碳含量增加的恒星。所谓的CEMP(碳增强贫金属)恒星,这些恒星占[Fe/H] <-3的恒星的20%,占[Fe/H] <-4.5的恒星的80%。CEMP恒星的祖先仍然没有完全受到约束;它们可能是早期宇宙中双星质量转移或高质量爆炸事件的结果。

英文摘要:

Metal-poor stars provide the fossil record of Galactic chemical evolution and the nucleosynthesis processes that took place at the earliest times in the history of our Galaxy. From detailed abundance studies of low mass, extremely metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] < -3), we can trace and help constrain the formation processes which created the first heavy elements in our Galaxy. Here we present the results of a ~25-star homogeneously analysed sample of metal-poor candidates from the Hamburg/ESO survey. We have derived abundances for a large number of elements ranging from Li to Ba, covering production processes from hydrostatic burning to neutron-capture. The sample includes some of the most metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] < -4) studied to date, and also a number of stars enhanced in carbon. The so called CEMP (carbon enhanced metal-poor) stars, these stars make up ~20% of the stars with [Fe/H] < -3, and 80% of the stars with [Fe/H] < -4.5. The progenitors of CEMP stars are still not fully constrained; they could be a result of binary mass transfer or high-mass explosive events in the early universe.
