摘要:

上下文恒星是从巨大的分子云中诞生的,如果我们假设它们的化学成分是均匀的,并且混合得很好,那么我们就可以预期它们具有相同的化学成分。大多数恒星聚集体在围绕银河系运行时被破坏,大部分动力学信息丢失,因此重建恒星形成历史的唯一可能性是分析我们今天观察到的化学丰度。目的。化学标记技术的目的是仅仅根据它们的化学成分来恢复被破坏的星团。我们评估这种技术的可行性,以恢复不再受引力约束的同生恒星。方法.疏散星团是一种共生的聚合体,它们设法共同生存。我们从31个老的和中等年龄的疏散星团、均匀导出的大气参数和17个丰度物种中编译了恒星光谱,并应用机器学习算法根据它们的化学成分对恒星进行分组。这种方法使我们能够评估化学标记技术的可行性和效率。结果我们发现,不同演化阶段的恒星具有不同的化学模式,这可能是由于NLTE效应,原子扩散,混合和偏差。当把恒星分成矮星和巨星时,我们观察到少数疏散星团显示出不同的化学特征,而大多数显示出高度的重叠。这限制了通过应用化学标记技术来恢复出生时的聚集体。然而,如果纳入更多的要素并改进模型,仍有改进的余地。

英文摘要:

Context. Stars are born together from giant molecular clouds and, if we assume that the priors were chemically homogeneous and well-mixed, we expect them to share the same chemical composition. Most of the stellar aggregates are disrupted while orbiting the Galaxy and most of the dynamic information is lost, thus the only possibility of reconstructing the stellar formation history is to analyze the chemical abundances that we observe today. Aims. The chemical tagging technique aims to recover disrupted stellar clusters based merely on their chemical composition. We evaluate the viability of this technique to recover co-natal stars that are no longer gravitationally bound. Methods. Open clusters are co-natal aggregates that have managed to survive together. We compiled stellar spectra from 31 old and intermediate-age open clusters, homogeneously derived atmospheric parameters, and 17 abundance species, and applied machine learning algorithms to group the stars based on their chemical composition. This approach allows us to evaluate the viability and efficiency of the chemical tagging technique. Results. We found that stars at different evolutionary stages have distinct chemical patterns that may be due to NLTE effects, atomic diffusion, mixing, and biases. When separating stars into dwarfs and giants, we observed that a few open clusters show distinct chemical signatures while the majority show a high degree of overlap. This limits the recovery of co-natal aggregates by applying the chemical tagging technique. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement if more elements are included and models are improved.
