亚亮O星和B星的表面氦衰变动力学

Kinematics of Subluminous O and B Stars by Surface Helium Abundance

P. Martin, C. S. Jeffery, Naslim N., V. M. Woolf

摘要:

大多数热的次矮星是低质量的核心氦燃烧恒星。它们的大气层通常缺乏氦,但少数有极富氦的表面。另外一部分具有中等的表面氦丰度,偶尔伴随着其他元素的特殊丰度。我们已经确定了一个样本的88个热的次矮星,包括38个氦缺乏,27个中间氦和23个极端氦星的径向速度和自行测量,连同距离,允许计算银河系的空间速度。我们已经研究了这三个群体的运动学,以确定它们是否属于相似或不同的银河系人口。在我们的样本中,大多数缺氦次矮星的运动学分布与厚盘星相似。富氦的sdBs表现出更多样化的运动学分布。虽然大多数可能是盘星,少数表现出更高的速度色散符合成员的星系晕人口。其中几颗晕型次矮星是Naslim等人(2011,2013)发现的重金属次矮星。

英文摘要:

The majority of hot subdwarf stars are low-mass core-helium-burning stars. Their atmospheres are generally helium deficient; however a minority have extremely helium-rich surfaces. An additional fraction have an intermediate surface-helium abundance, occasionally accompanied by peculiar abundances of other elements. We have identified a sample of 88 hot subdwarfs including 38 helium-deficient, 27 intermediate-helium and 23 extreme-helium stars for which radial-velocity and proper-motion measurements, together with distances, allow a calculation of Galactic space velocities. We have investigated the kinematics of these three groups to determine whether they belong to similar or different galactic populations. The majority of helium-deficient subdwarfs in our sample show a kinematic distribution similar to that of thick disk stars. Helium-rich sdBs show a more diverse kinematic distribution. Although the majority are probably disk stars, a minority show a much higher velocity dispersion consistent with membership of a Galactic halo population. Several of the halo subd- warfs are members of the class of "heavy-metal" subdwarfs discovered by Naslim et al. (2011, 2013).
