NGC 6681红巨星分支星的高分辨光谱丰度

High Resolution Spectroscopic Abundances of Red Giant Branch Stars in NGC 6681

摘要:

我们获得了NGC 6681中9颗红巨星分支星的高分辨率光谱,并对该星团中的恒星进行了首次详细的丰度分析。我们根据一致的径向速度214.5 $\pm$ 3.7 km/s确定了这些恒星的星团成员资格,并发现平均[Fe/H] = -1.63 $\pm$ 0.07 dex和[α/Fe] = 0.42 $\pm$ 0.11 dex。此外,我们确认了NGC 6681中存在Na-O反相关,并确定了两个具有独特丰度趋势的恒星群体。通过使用Sarajedini等人(2007)和Piotto等人(2015)的HST测光,我们能够将这两个种群识别为集群CMD中的离散序列。虽然我们无法确认造成这些种群丰度差异的污染恒星的性质,但这些结果确实有助于限制可能的污染候选者。

英文摘要:

We obtain high resolution spectra of nine red giant branch stars in NGC 6681 and perform the first detailed abundance analysis of stars in this cluster. We confirm cluster membership for these stars based on consistent radial velocities of 214.5$\pm$3.7 km/s and find a mean [Fe/H] = -1.63$\pm$0.07 dex and [α/Fe] = 0.42$\pm$0.11 dex. Additionally, we confirm the existence of a Na-O anti-correlation in NGC 6681 and identify two populations of stars with unique abundance trends. With the use of HST photometry from Sarajedini et al. (2007) and Piotto et al. (2015) we are able to identify these two populations as discrete sequences in the cluster CMD. Although we cannot confirm the nature of the polluter stars responsible for the abundance differences in these populations, these results do help put constraints on possible polluter candidates.
