摘要：

钡（Ba）、CH和外生或贫Tc的S-型恒星是演化的低质量和中等质量恒星，其表面的慢中子捕获过程元素增强，这表明前渐近巨星分支（AGB）伴星的质量吸积，现在是一颗白矮星（WD）。Ba星和CH星可以在主序星、次巨星和巨星相中找到，而外来的S型星只分布在巨星分支中。随着这些被污染的恒星的演化，它们可能会与现在的白矮星同伴发生第二阶段的相互作用。在本文中，我们考虑的系统组成的主序星Ba和WD的同伴时，前者沿着红巨星分支（RGB）的发展。我们想确定是否可以从它们被怀疑的矮祖先的演化中推断出已知的Ba、CH和S巨星的轨道特性。为了这个目的，我们使用的BARGAR二进制演化代码和模型MS+WD二进制系统，考虑不同的二进制相互作用机制，如潮汐增强风质量损失和循环效率降低。为了探索它们对第二次RGB上升的影响，我们将模拟的轨道与Ba和相关巨星的观测周期和偏心率分布进行了比较。我们表明，独立考虑的机制，有一个强大的时期切断低于核心，他燃烧的恒星不应该被发现在二进制系统与WD同伴。对于质量更大的RGB恒星和更贫金属的系统，这个极限更短。然而，我们仍然发现了一些低质量的短周期巨系统，很难用我们的模型来解释，以及两个系统具有非常高的偏心率。

英文摘要：

Barium (Ba), CH, and extrinsic or Tc-poor S-type stars are evolved low- and intermediate-mass stars that show enhancement of slow-neutron-capture-process elements on their surface, an indication of mass accretion from a former asymptotic giant branch (AGB) companion, which is now a white dwarf (WD). Ba and CH stars can be found in the main-sequence (MS), the sub-giant, and the giant phase, while extrinsic S-type stars populate the giant branches only. As these polluted stars evolve, they might be involved in a second phase of interaction with their now white dwarf companion. In this paper, we consider systems composed of a main-sequence Ba star and a WD companion when the former evolves along the Red Giant Branch (RGB). We want to determine if the orbital properties of the known population of Ba, CH, and S giants can be inferred from the evolution of their suspected dwarf progenitors. For this purpose, we use the BINSTAR binary evolution code and model MS+WD binary systems, considering different binary interaction mechanisms, such as a tidally-enhanced wind mass-loss and a reduced circularisation efficiency. To explore their impact on the second RGB ascent, we compare the modelled orbits with the observed period and eccentricity distributions of Ba and related giants. We show that, independently of the considered mechanism, there is a strong period cut off below which core-He burning stars should not be found in binary systems with a WD companion. This limit is shorter for more massive RGB stars and for more metal-poor systems. However, we still find a few low-mass short-period giant systems that are difficult to explain with our models as well as two systems with very high eccentricities.
