摘要:

为了对狼疮T协会成员的元素丰度进行均匀测定,我们分析了三种化学元素:锂、铁和钡。其目的是:推导出狼疮I、II、III、IV星云中约90%已知II类恒星的Li丰度;对过去很少测量到Fe丰度的区域进行化学标记,迄今为止还没有测定Ba含量。我们还研究了可能的Ba增强,因为这个元素已成为越来越有趣的,在过去几年中的证据,Ba过剩的年轻集群,其起源仍然是未知的。使用X-shooter@VLT,我们分析了89个星团成员的光谱,包括II类和III类恒星。我们测量了Li线的强度,并通过等效宽度测量和生长曲线导出了该元素的丰度。对于六个II类星,我们还测量了Fe和Ba的丰度使用光谱合成和代码MOOG。所有三个要素都考虑到了面纱的贡献。我们发现在低Teff的Li线的强度分散,并确定三个目标与严重的Li耗尽。这些高度锂贫化恒星的核年龄推断为1500万年左右,超过了等时线。与其他恒星形成区域一样,在狼疮中没有发现富含金属的成员,这支持了最近的一个假设,即附近大部分年轻区域的Fe丰度分布可能是银河系薄盘中常见和广泛的恒星形成事件的结果。我们发现Ba相对于太阳过剩了~0.7 dex。由于目前的理论模型不能重现这种Ba丰度模式,我们研究了这种异常大的Ba含量是否可能与恒星参数,恒星活动和吸积的影响有关。

英文摘要:

With the purpose of performing a homogeneous determination of elemental abundances for members of the Lupus T association, we analyzed three chemical elements: lithium, iron, and barium. The aims were: to derive the Li abundance for ~90% of known class II stars in the Lupus I, II, III, IV clouds; to perform chemical tagging of a region where few Fe abundance measurements have been obtained in the past, and no determination of the Ba content has been done up to now. We also investigated possible Ba enhancement, as this element has become increasingly interesting in the last years following the evidence of Ba over-abundance in young clusters, the origin of which is still unknown. Using X-shooter@VLT, we analyzed the spectra of 89 cluster members, both class II and III stars. We measured the strength of the Li line and derived the abundance of this element through equivalent width measurements and curves of growth. For six class II stars we also measured the Fe and Ba abundances using the spectral synthesis and the code MOOG. The veiling contribution was taken into account for all three elements. We find a dispersion in the strength of the Li line at low Teff and identify three targets with severe Li depletion. The nuclear age inferred for these highly Li-depleted stars is around 15 Myr, which exceeds the isochronal one. As in other star-forming regions, no metal-rich members are found in Lupus, giving support to a recent hypothesis that the Fe abundance distribution of most of the nearby young regions could be the result of a common and widespread star formation episode involving the Galactic thin disk. We find that Ba is over-abundant by ~0.7 dex with respect to the Sun. Since current theoretical models cannot reproduce this Ba abundance pattern, we investigated whether this unusually large Ba content might be related to effects due to stellar parameters, stellar activity, and accretion.
