摘要:

我们提出了一个贫金属的恒星,ROA 276,在恒星系统欧米茄半人马座的化学丰度分析。我们确认,这颗恒星有一个异常高的[Sr/Ba]丰度比。此外,ROA 276对从Cu到Mo的所有元素都表现出非常高的丰度比[X/Fe],以及从Ba到Pb的元素的正常丰度比。ROA 276的化学丰度模式,相对于一颗原始的欧米伽Cen恒星ROA 46,最适合于20 Msun的快速旋转低金属丰度大质量恒星模型,[Fe/H] =-1.8,初始旋转为临界值的0.4倍;没有其他核合成源可以匹配中子捕获元素的分布。ROA 276可以说提供了迄今为止最明确的证据,证明快速旋转的大质量恒星有助于早期宇宙中重元素的产生。

英文摘要:

We present a chemical abundance analysis of a metal-poor star, ROA 276, in the stellar system omega Centauri. We confirm that this star has an unusually high [Sr/Ba] abundance ratio. Additionally, ROA 276 exhibits remarkably high abundance ratios, [X/Fe], for all elements from Cu to Mo along with normal abundance ratios for the elements from Ba to Pb. The chemical abundance pattern of ROA 276, relative to a primordial omega Cen star ROA 46, is best fit by a fast-rotating low-metallicity massive stellar model of 20 Msun, [Fe/H] = -1.8, and an initial rotation 0.4 times the critical value; no other nucleosynthetic source can match the neutron-capture element distribution. ROA 276 arguably offers the most definitive proof to date that fast-rotating massive stars contributed to the production of heavy elements in the early Universe.
