极端氦星V652 Her和HD 144941的非定域热力学平衡丰度分析

Non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium abundance analyses of the extreme helium stars: V652 Her and HD 144941

Gajendra Pandey, David L. Lambert

摘要:

V652 Her和HD 144941,这两颗极端氦星具有非常低的C/He比,使用工具TLUSTY和SYNSPEC进行了非LTE丰度分析。定义的大气参数是从一个网格的非LTE大气和各种光谱指标,包括He I和He II线配置文件,离子对的电离平衡,如C II/C III和N II/N III。各种指标提供了一组一致的大气参数:V652 Her提供了$T_{\rm eff}$ =25000 $\pm$ 300 K、$\log g$ = 3.10 $\pm$ 0.12(cgs)和$ξ=13\pm2 {\rm km\,s^{-1}}$,HD 144941提供了$T_{\rm eff}$ =22000 $\pm$ 600 K、$\log g$ = 3.45 $\pm$ 0.15(cgs)和$ξ=10 {\rm km\,s^{-1}}$。与非长期演进分析相反,长期演进分析-长期演进大气和长期演进线路分析-以及可用指标不能提供一组一致的大气参数。对元素丰度的主要非LTE效应是对氖丰度的影响。一般认为这些极低C/He比的氦星是由两颗氦白矮星合并而成的。事实上,V652 Her的衍生成分与Zhang & Jeffery(2012)的预测非常一致,他们模拟了氦白矮星的缓慢合并;缓慢合并导致合并的恒星具有吸积的白矮星的成分。在HD 144941的例子中,它似乎是从贫金属恒星演化而来,一个缓慢的合并与观测到的组成不相容,但合并速率的变化可能解释了观测到的组成。鼓励对一对氦白矮星的合并进行更详细的理论研究。

英文摘要:

Optical high-resolution spectra of V652 Her and HD 144941, the two extreme helium stars with exceptionally low C/He ratios, have been subjected to a non-LTE abundance analysis using the tools TLUSTY and SYNSPEC. Defining atmospheric parameters were obtained from a grid of non-LTE atmospheres and a variety of spectroscopic indicators including He I and He II line profiles, ionization equilibrium of ion pairs such as C II/C III and N II/N III. The various indicators provide a consistent set of atmospheric parameters: $T_{\rm eff}$=25000$\pm$300K, $\log g$ = 3.10$\pm$0.12(cgs), and $ξ=13\pm2 {\rm km\,s^{-1}}$ are provided for V652 Her, and $T_{\rm eff}$=22000$\pm$600K, $\log g$ = 3.45$\pm$0.15 (cgs), and $ξ=10 {\rm km\,s^{-1}}$ are provided for HD 144941. In contrast to the non-LTE analyses, the LTE analyses - LTE atmospheres and a LTE line analysis - with the available indicators do not provide a consistent set of atmospheric parameters. The principal non-LTE effect on the elemental abundances is on the neon abundance. It is generally considered that these extreme helium stars with their very low C/He ratio result from the merger of two helium white dwarfs. Indeed, the derived composition of V652 Her is in excellent agreement with predictions by Zhang & Jeffery (2012) who model the slow merger of helium white dwarfs; a slow merger results in the merged star having the composition of the accreted white dwarf. In the case of HD 144941 which appears to have evolved from metal-poor stars a slow merger is incompatible with the observed composition but variations of the merger rate may account for the observed composition. More detailed theoretical studies of the merger of a pair of helium white dwarfs are to be encouraged.
