摘要:

首次对两个年轻的疏散星团NGC 4609和NGC 5316的演化恒星进行了高分辨率光谱分析,这两个星团的年龄分别约为8000万年和1亿年,关闭质量超过5 Msun。恒星演化模型预测了演化恒星中的额外混合事件,该事件发生在第一次挖掘之后,随后发生在红巨星分支上。然而,人们仍然不知道这个过程如何影响不同质量的恒星。在这项研究中,我们确定了混合敏感元素碳和氮的丰度,碳同位素12 C/13 C比值,以及20个其他元素产生的不同核合成过程(O,Na,Mg,Al,Si,Ca,Sc,Ti,Cr,Mn,Co,Ni,Y,Zr,Ba,La,Ce,Pr,Nd和Eu)。我们将我们的结果与最新的进化混合过程的理论模型进行了比较。我们发现,得到的12 C/13 C和C/N比和[Na/Fe]同意相当不错的模型,考虑到热盐和旋转引起的混合,但在误差范围内也同意与标准的第一个疏浚模型。氧,镁和其他α元素与银河系化学演化的理论模型的比较表明,这两个集群遵循薄盘α元素的趋势。NGC 4609的中子捕获元素丰度显然反映了它在薄盘中的出生地,而NGC 5316的丰度略高,这表明它的出生地环境中更富含中子捕获元素。

英文摘要:

High-resolution spectral analysis is performed for the first time in evolved stars of two young open clusters: NGC 4609 and NGC 5316, of about 80 and 100 Myr in age, respectively, and turn-off masses above 5 Msun. Stellar evolution models predict an extra-mixing event in evolved stars, which follows the first dredge-up and happens later on the red giant branch. However, it is still not understood how this process affects stars of different masses. In this study, we determine abundances of the mixing sensitive elements carbon and nitrogen, carbon isotope 12C/13C ratios, as well as 20 other elements produced by different nucleosynthetic processes (O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Y, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, and Eu). We compared our results with the latest theoretical models of evolutionary mixing processes. We find that the obtained 12C/13C and C/N ratios and [Na/Fe] agree quite well with the model which takes into account thermohaline- and rotation-induced mixing but within error limits also agree with the standard first dredge-up model. Comparison of oxygen, magnesium and other alpha-elements with theoretical models of Galactic chemical evolution revealed that both clusters follow the thin disk alpha-element trends. Neutron-capture element abundances in NGC 4609 are apparently reflecting its birthplace in the thin disk, while NGC 5316 has marginally higher abundances, which would indicate its birthplace in an environment more enriched with neutron-capture elements.
