摘要:
本文分析了NGC 2506从分叉到巨分支的视场中287颗恒星的HYPERANE光谱。根据以前的数据,22颗被确定为可能的双星; 90多颗被归类为潜在的非成员。使用谱线等效宽度和神经网络方法对~60颗红巨星和缓慢旋转的关闭星进行光谱分析,得到[Fe/H] = -0.27 +/-0.07(s.d.)和[Fe/H] = -0.27 +/-0.06(s.d.),分别Li丰度是由145个可能的单星成员得出的,44个是上限。在Li倾角以外的转折星中,A(Li)= 3.04 +/- 0.16(s.d.),没有颜色、亮度或旋转速度的趋势。从穿过亚巨星分支的分叉处开始,在巨星分支的底部有一个清晰的下降到A(Li)~1.25,伴随着旋转速度从~20到70 km/s之间下降到小于20 km/s的恒星进入亚巨星分支和更远。A(Li)从巨星分支底部到红巨星团水平保持有效常数。在星团上方的一个新成员重新定义了第一个上升红巨星分支的路径;它的Li比第一个上升红巨星低0.6 dex。除了一个例外,所有氦闪光后的恒星都有A(Li)的上限,在或低于最亮的第一颗红巨星的水平。的模式是在良好的定性协议与模型预测的低/中等质量的恒星进行旋转诱导的混合在关闭和亚巨星分支,第一次疏浚,和热盐混合超出红巨星凸点。
英文摘要:
HYDRA spectra of 287 stars in the field of NGC 2506 from the turnoff through the giant branch are analyzed. With previous data, 22 are identified as probable binaries; 90 more are classified as potential non-members. Spectroscopic analyses of ~60 red giants and slowly rotating turnoff stars using line equivalent widths and a neural network approach lead to [Fe/H] = -0.27 +/- 0.07 (s.d.) and [Fe/H] = -0.27 +/- 0.06 (s.d.), respectively. Li abundances are derived for 145 probable single-star members, 44 being upper limits. Among turnoff stars outside the Li-dip, A(Li) = 3.04 +/- 0.16 (s.d.), with no trend with color, luminosity, or rotation speed. Evolving from the turnoff across the subgiant branch, there is a well-delineated decline to A(Li) ~1.25 at the giant branch base, coupled with the rotational spindown from between ~20 and 70 km/s to less than 20 km/s for stars entering the subgiant branch and beyond. A(Li) remains effectively constant from the giant branch base to the red giant clump level. A new member above the clump redefines the path of the first-ascent red giant branch; its Li is 0.6 dex below the first-ascent red giants. With one exception, all post-He-flash stars have upper limits to A(Li), at or below the level of the brightest first-ascent red giant. The patterns are in excellent qualitative agreement with the model predictions for low/intermediate-mass stars which undergo rotation-induced mixing at the turnoff and subgiant branch, first dredge-up, and thermohaline mixing beyond the red giant bump.
