球状星团NGC 2808中五组化学成分不同的红巨星

Five groups of red giants with distinct chemical composition in the globular cluster NGC 2808

Eugenio Carretta

摘要:

通过对大质量球状星团NGC~2808中140颗红巨星支星的均匀丰度再分析,研究了该星团中多星族的化学组成。用我们在FLAMES巡天中对23个GC中大约2500颗巨星所用的相同程序分析了31颗恒星的UVES光谱和其他巨星的GIRAFFE光谱,得出了Fe,O,Na,Mg,Si,Ca,Ti,Sc,Cr,Mn和Ni的丰度。铁,元素从α-捕获,并在铁组不显示内在的散射。在我们的UVES标度上,NGC~2808的金属丰度为[Fe/H]=-1.129+/-0.005+/-0.034 $(+/-统计+/-系统误差),σ =0.030(31颗星)。与质子捕获元素相关的主要特征被检索,但改进的统计数据和较小的相关内部误差允许发现五个不同的恒星群沿Na-O关系。我们观察到大量的镁,镁相关的增强Na和Si,暗示异常高的温度质子捕获。大约14%的样本是由太阳或太阳下的[Mg/Fe]比率的巨星形成的。使用[Na/Mg]比,我们确认存在五个种群具有不同的化学组成,我们称之为P1,P2,I1,I2,和E,以减少镁和增加钠丰度的顺序。统计检验表明,任何一对组中的平均比值都不能从相同的父分布中提取。与最近从紫外光度法检测到的五个种群的重叠是好的,但不完美,确认更不同的成分可能存在于这个复杂的GC。

英文摘要:

The chemical composition of multiple populations in the massive globular cluster (GC) NGC~2808 is addressed with the homogeneous abundance re-analysis of 140 red giant branch (RGB) stars. UVES spectra for 31 stars and GIRAFFE spectra for the other giants were analysed with the same procedures used for about 2500 giants in 23 GCs in our FLAMES survey, deriving abundances of Fe, O, Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Sc, Cr, Mn, and Ni. Iron, elements from alpha-capture, and in the Fe-group do not show intrinsic scatter. On our UVES scale the metallicity of NGC~2808 is [Fe/H]=-1.129+/-0.005+/-0.034$ (+/-statistical +/-systematic error) with sigma=0.030 (31 stars). Main features related to proton-capture elements are retrieved, but the improved statistics and the smaller associated internal errors allow to uncover five distinct groups of stars along the Na-O anticorrelation. We observe large depletions in Mg, anticorrelated with enhancements of Na and also Si, suggestive of unusually high temperatures for proton-captures. About 14% of our sample is formed by giants with solar or subsolar [Mg/Fe] ratios. Using the [Na/Mg] ratios we confirm the presence of five populations with different chemical composition, that we called P1, P2, I1, I2, and E in order of decreasing Mg and increasing Na abundances. Statistical tests show that the mean ratios in any pair of groups cannot be extracted from the same parent distribution. The overlap with the five populations recently detected from UV photometry is good but not perfect, confirming that more distinct components probably exist in this complex GC.
