晚型贫金属星中中性铜的非LTE分析

Non-LTE analysis of neutral copper in the late-type metal-poor stars

H. L. Yan, J. R. Shi, G. Zhao

摘要:

我们研究了$64$晚型恒星在银盘和晕中的铜丰度,有效温度从$5400$ K到$6700$ K,[Fe/H]从$-1.88$到$-0.17$。对于第一次,铜丰度推导出使用本地热力学平衡(LTE)和非本地热力学平衡(非LTE)计算。使用来自FOCES摄谱仪的高分辨率($R > 40,000$)、高信噪比($S/N > 100$)光谱。大气模式是基于MAFAGS不透明度采样代码计算的。所有的丰度都是使用光谱合成方法得到的。我们的研究结果表明,铜的非LTE效应是重要的贫金属星,表现出偏离$\sim 0.17$ dex的金属丰度$\sim -1.5$。我们还发现,从非LTE计算得到的铜丰度增强相比,从LTE。增强显示出明显的依赖于金属丰度,这逐渐增加,随着[Fe/H]的减少,我们的程序星,导致一个平坦的分布[Cu/Fe]与[Fe/H]比以前的工作。厚盘星和薄盘星在[Cu/Fe]中有不同的行为,盘星可能存在弯曲。

英文摘要:

We investigated the copper abundances for $64$ late-type stars in the Galactic disk and halo with effective temperatures from $5400$ K to $6700$ K and [Fe/H] from $-1.88$ to $-0.17$. For the first time, the copper abundances are derived using both local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) calculations. High resolution ($R > 40,000$), high signal-to-noise ratio ($S/N > 100$) spectra from the FOCES spectrograph are used. The atmospheric models are calculated based on the MAFAGS opacity sampling code. All the abundances are derived using the spectrum synthesis methods. Our results indicate that the non-LTE effects of copper are important for metal-poor stars, showing a departure of $\sim 0.17$ dex at the metallicity $\sim -1.5$. We also find that the copper abundances derived from non-LTE calculations are enhanced compared with those from LTE. The enhancements show clear dependence on the metallicity, which gradually increase with decreasing [Fe/H] for our program stars, leading to a flatter distribution of [Cu/Fe] with [Fe/H] than previous work. There is a hint that the thick- and thin-disk stars have different behaviors in [Cu/Fe], and a bending for disk stars may exist.
