摘要:

精确的光谱锂丰度对于解决各种悬而未决的问题至关重要,例如贫金属恒星(Spite高原)大气中均匀锂含量的起源,或者太阳系外行星系统的性质与其宿主恒星的锂丰度之间存在相关性。我们开发了一种工具,允许用户通过应用校正来提高基于1D模型大气和局部热力学平衡(LTE)假设的标准锂丰度测定的准确性,该校正可解释不同金属丰度的FGK恒星中的流体动力学(3D)和非LTE(NLTE)效应。基于CO 5 BOLD 3D模型网格和相关的1D流体静力学大气,我们计算了锂线在670.8 nm处的三个合成光谱库,用于各种锂丰度,分别解释3D NLTE,1D NLTE和1D LTE中的详细线形成。然后使用所得的生长曲线来推导3D NLTE和1D NLTE锂丰度校正。我们证明,3D和NLTE的影响是小的金属贫星的Spite高原,导致的错误,最多+/-0.05 dex,如果忽略。在最冷的有效温度Teff=5000 K处发现了最大的校正,其中对于最强的线,它们可以达到-0.4 dex。我们提出了分析函数,用于评估校正和直接将给定的锂丰度转换为等效宽度,反之亦然,将给定的等效宽度(EW)转换为锂丰度。为方便起见,提供了一个Python脚本,用于计算给定Teff、log g、[Fe/H]和A(Li)或EW的所有拟合函数。通过拟合函数,复杂的3D和NLTE计算的结果很容易获得,并迅速适用于大范围金属丰度的大样本恒星。

英文摘要:

Accurate spectroscopic lithium abundances are essential in addressing a variety of open questions, such as the origin of a uniform lithium content in the atmospheres of metal-poor stars (Spite plateau) or the existence of a correlation between the properties of extra-solar planetary systems and the lithium abundance of their host stars. We have developed a tool that allows the user to improve the accuracy of standard lithium abundance determinations based on 1D model atmospheres and the assumption of Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE) by applying corrections that account for hydrodynamic (3D) and non-LTE (NLTE) effects in FGK stars of different metallicity. Based on a grid of CO5BOLD 3D models and associated 1D hydrostatic atmospheres, we computed three libraries of synthetic spectra of the lithium line at 670.8 nm for a wide range of lithium abundances, accounting for detailed line formation in 3D NLTE, 1D NLTE, and 1D LTE, respectively. The resulting curves-of-growth were then used to derive 3D NLTE and 1D NLTE lithium abundance corrections. We demonstrate that 3D and NLTE effects are small for metal-poor stars on the Spite plateau, leading to errors of at most +/-0.05 dex if ignored. The largest corrections are found at the coolest effective temperature, Teff=5000 K, where they can reach -0.4 dex for the strongest lines. We present analytical functions for evaluating the corrections and for directly converting a given lithium abundance into an equivalent width, or vice versa, a given equivalent width (EW) into a lithium abundance. For convenience, a Python script is made available that evaluates all fitting functions for given Teff, log g, [Fe/H], and A(Li) or EW. By means of the fitting functions, the results of complex 3D and NLTE calculations are made readily accessible and quickly applicable to large samples of stars across a wide range of metallicities.
