摘要:

对红巨星的光谱地震测量使最近在厚盘中发现质量超过1.4 M太阳的恒星成为可能。虽然有人声称,这些恒星中的大多数都比其他典型的厚盘星年轻,我们的证据表明,它们可能是在二进制演化的质量转移的产品,特别是进化的蓝色离散星。我们对APOKASC的26颗恒星样本进行了新的径向速度测量,其中包括13颗"年轻"星和13颗"老"星,它们具有相似的恒星参数,但质量低于1.2M_sun,发现更多的"年轻"星相对于"老"星似乎处于双星系统中。此外,我们表明,“年轻”的恒星不遵循预期的趋势[C/H]比与质量的个别恒星。然而,通过包括双星演化和质量转移的低质量恒星的人口合成,我们可以重现观测到的[C/N]比与质量。我们的研究表明,太阳型红巨星的星震学如何为我们提供了一个独特的机会,来研究蓝掉队星离开主序星后的演化。

英文摘要:

Spectro-seismic measurements of red giants enabled the recent discovery of stars in the thick disk that are more massive than 1.4 M_sun. While it has been claimed that most of these stars are younger than the rest of the typical thick disk stars, we show evidence that they might be products of mass transfer in binary evolution, notably evolved blue stragglers. We took new measurements of the radial velocities in a sample of 26 stars from APOKASC, including 13 "young" stars and 13 "old" stars with similar stellar parameters but with masses below 1.2 M_sun and found that more of the "young" stars appear to be in binary systems with respect to the "old" stars. Furthermore, we show that the "young" stars do not follow the expected trend of [C/H] ratios versus mass for individual stars. However, with a population synthesis of low-mass stars including binary evolution and mass transfer, we can reproduce the observed [C/N] ratios versus mass. Our study shows how asteroseismology of solar-type red giants provides us with a unique opportunity to study the evolution of field blue stragglers after they have left the main-sequence.
