用OI 7771- 5 A谱线测定B型星的氧丰度

Oxygen abundance determination of B-type stars with the OI 7771-5A lines

Yoichi Takeda, Satoshi Honda

摘要:

利用7771-5A处的OI三重线测量了34颗有效温度Teff~10000- 28000 K、不同自转速度(vesini~ 0- 250 km/s)的B型星的氧丰度,目的是检验OI特征是否可以作为包括快速自转星在内的高温星的可靠丰度指标。它揭示了所需的非LTE丰度校正明显很大(范围从~-0.6dex到~-1.7dex),并且其考虑是必不可少的。在考虑非LTE效应的条件下,由于其总等效宽度足够大(>~ 200 mA),该三重态是直到Teff <~ 25000 K的有用的O丰度指示器(精度<~0.2dex)。相反,对于Teff >~ 25000 K的恒星,它不足以进行丰度推导,在那里它的强度迅速下降到几乎不可检测的水平(除了尖线星),它对Teff或log g的灵敏度变得相当大。由此产生的非LTE氧丰度被证明几乎是正常的(即,在+/-~0.2dex范围内,大多数恒星的近太阳约为~8.7-8.8),与投影的旋转速度以及光度(或质量)没有任何关系,这与最近恒星演化计算的预测一致。

英文摘要:

Oxygen abundances of 34 B-type stars in the effective temperature range of Teff~10000-28000K with diversified rotational velocities (vesini~ 0-250km/s) were determined from the OI triplet lines at 7771-5A, with an aim to examine whether this OI feature can be a reliable abundance indicator for such high-temperature stars including rapid rotators. It revealed that the required non-LTE abundance correction is distinctly large (ranging from ~-0.6dex to ~-1.7dex) and its consideration is indispensable. On the condition that the non-LTE effect is taken into account, this triplet is a useful O abundance indicator (with a precision of <~0.2dex) up to Teff <~25000K, since its total equivalent width is sufficiently large (>~200mA). In contrast, it is not adequate for abundance derivation for stars at Teff >~25000K, where its strength rapidly drops down toward a hardly detectable level (except for sharp-lined stars) and its sensitivity to Teff or log g becomes considerably large. The resulting non-LTE oxygen abundances turned out to be almost normal (i.e., near-solar around ~8.7-8.8 within +/-~0.2dex) for most stars without any dependence upon projected rotational velocity as well as luminosity (or mass), which is consistent with the prediction of recent stellar evolution calculations.
