摘要:

我们提出的第一个措施的铁和钠丰度在NGC 6362,一个低质量的球状星团的第一代和第二代恒星完全空间混合。在甚大望远镜的多目标摄谱仪FLAMES上,总共观测到了160颗成员星(沿着红巨星分支和红水平分支)。我们发现该团簇的铁丰度为[Fe/H]=-1.09 $\pm$ 0.01 dex,没有内禀色散的证据。另一方面,[Na/Fe]分布原来是固有的宽和双峰。贫钠星和富钠星分别位于包括U滤波器在内的色星等图中最蓝和最红的红巨星分支。红巨星分支由第一代和第二代恒星以相似的比例混合组成,而几乎所有的红色水平分支恒星都属于第一代星团。到目前为止,NGC 6362是质量最小的球状星团,在那里已经检测到多个群体的光度和光谱特征。

英文摘要:

We present the first measure of Fe and Na abundances in NGC 6362, a low-mass globular cluster where first and second generation stars are fully spatially mixed. A total of 160 member stars (along the red giant branch and the red horizontal branch) have been observed with the multi-object spectrograph FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope. We find that the cluster has an iron abundance of [Fe/H]=--1.09$\pm$0.01 dex, without evidence of intrinsic dispersion. On the other hand, the [Na/Fe] distribution turns out to be intrinsically broad and bimodal. The Na-poor and Na-rich stars populate, respectively, the bluest and the reddest red giant branches detected in the color-magnitude diagrams including the U filter. The red giant branch is composed of a mixture of first and second generation stars in a similar proportion, while almost all the red horizontal branch stars belong to the first cluster generation. Until now, NGC 6362 is the least massive globular cluster where both the photometric and spectroscopic signatures of multiple populations have been detected.
