NGC 3201铁缺乏的表观趋势:不同数据的相同结果

Apparent Trend of the Iron Abundance in NGC 3201: the Same Outcome with Different Data

Valery V. Kravtsov

摘要:

我们进一步研究了我们在一些球状星团(包括NGC 3201)中发现的统计显着水平的不寻常趋势:红巨星中的铁丰度向星系团中心逐渐减少。我们首先表明,最近发表的新估计的铁丰度在集群再现这一趋势,尽管作者的声明没有金属分布由于低分散实现的[Fe II/H]比。从聚类中心开始,$R \sim 2'$内的[Fe II/H]平均值低于外部区域,$Δ$ [Fe II/H] = 0.05 $\pm$ 0.02 dex,这与我们最初估计的$R \approx 9'$内样本量大得多的情况一致。我们发现,一个旧的数据集跟踪的趋势,以一个更大的径向距离,相当于集群潮汐半径,在$Δ$ [Fe/H] $\sim$ 0.2 dex由于遥远的恒星的金属丰度较高。我们的结论是独立的数据集再现的趋势,并发现它是伴随着一个显着的同号趋势的氧丰度,可以变化高达$Δ$ [O/Fe] $\sim$ 0.3 dex在$R \approx 9'$,和相反的符号趋势的钠丰度。

英文摘要:

We further study the unusual trend we found at statistically significant levels in some globular clusters, including NGC 3201: a decreasing iron abundance in red giants towards the cluster centers. We first show that recently published new estimates of iron abundance in the cluster reproduce this trend, in spite of the authors' statement about no metallicity spread due to a low scatter achieved in the [FeII/H] ratio. The mean of [FeII/H] within $R \sim 2'$ from the cluster center is lower, by $Δ$[FeII/H] = 0.05$\pm$0.02 dex, than in the outer region, in agreement with our original estimate for a much larger sample size within $R \approx 9'$. We found that an older dataset traces the trend to a much larger radial distance, comparable with the cluster tidal radius, at $Δ$[Fe/H]$\sim$0.2 dex due to higher metallicity of distant stars. We conclude the trend is reproduced by independent datasets and find that it is accompanied with both a notable same-sign trend of oxygen abundance which can vary by up to $Δ$[O/Fe]$\sim$0.3 dex within $R \approx 9'$, and opposite-sign trend of sodium abundance.
