摘要:

一些研究发现,在最年轻的银河系恒星星族中,s过程中子俘获元素的丰度增加,这对恒星和星系演化产生了重要的约束。我们的目标是跟踪的丰度模式和时间演化的五个S-过程元素的第一个峰,Y和Zr,在第二个峰,Ba,La和Ce使用Gaia-ESO idr 5的结果。从星团成员星的UVES光谱,我们确定了年龄>0.1 Gyr的星团的平均组成。我们推导出统计年龄和距离的场星,我们分开他们在薄和厚盘人口。利用疏散星团和场星研究了丰度比的时间演化和对金属丰度的依赖性。使用我们的大型和均匀的样本的疏散星团,薄和厚盘星,跨越年龄范围大于10 Gyr,我们确认增加对年轻的年龄的s-过程的丰度在太阳附近。这些趋势是明确的疏散星团和恒星位于太阳附近的位置,他们可以解释为后期的丰富,由于这些元素的生产,从长寿的低质量恒星的显着贡献。与此同时,我们发现了一个很强的依赖性的s-过程的丰度比与银心距离和金属丰度的集群和场星。我们的研究结果,来自文献中最大的和均匀的样本的s-过程的丰度,证实了增长与降低恒星年龄的s-过程的丰度在两个领域和疏散星团的明星。同时,利用银心距范围内大量的疏散星团,揭示了不同银心距下s过程演化对金属丰度和恒星形成历史的依赖关系,并指出了不同银心距下的不同行为。

英文摘要:

Several works have found an increase of the abundances of the s-process neutron-capture elements in the youngest Galactic stellar populations, giving important constraints to stellar and Galactic evolution. We aim to trace the abundance patterns and the time-evolution of five s-process elements in the first peak, Y and Zr, and in the second peak, Ba, La and Ce using the Gaia-ESO idr5 results. From the UVES spectra of cluster member stars, we determined the average composition of clusters with ages >0.1 Gyr. We derived statistical ages and distances of field stars, and we separated them in thin and thick disc populations. We studied the time evolution and dependence on metallicity of abundance ratios using open clusters and field stars. Using our large and homogeneous sample of open clusters, thin and thick disc stars, spanning an age range larger than 10 Gyr, we confirm an increase towards young ages of s-process abundances in the Solar neighbourhood. These trends are well defined for open clusters and stars located nearby the solar position and they may be explained by a late enrichment due to significant contribution to the production of these elements from long-living low-mass stars. At the same time, we found a strong dependence of the s-process abundance ratios with the Galactocentric distance and with the metallicity of the clusters and field stars. Our results, derived from the largest and homogeneous sample of s-process abundances in the literature, confirm the growth with decreasing stellar ages of the s-process abundances in both field and open cluster stars. At the same time, taking advantage of the abundances of open clusters located in a wide Galactocentric range, they open a new view on the dependence of the s-process evolution on the metallicity and star formation history, pointing to different behaviours at various Galactocentric distances.
