摘要:

疏散星团中的经典造父变星在基准恒星演化模型、锚定宇宙距离尺度和确保哈勃常数方面发挥着重要作用。NGC 6649、NGC 6664和Berkeley 55是三个拥有经典造父变星和红(超)巨星的相关星系团,因此开始了一项分析,以评估新获得的光谱($\approx$ 50)、档案测光和$Gaia$ DR 2数据。重要的是,首次确定了NGC 6649和NGC 6664演化成员的化学丰度。我们发现,他们是轻微的金属贫相对于平均银河系梯度,和过剩的Ba观察。这些星团可能属于薄盘,后者的发现支持D 'Orazi等人(2009)的“$s$ -增强”方案。NGC 6664和Berkeley 55的径向速度与银河系的自转一致,而NGC 6649则显示出一种特殊的速度。由此产生的年龄估计的集群($\approx$ 70马)意味着群众的(超)巨大人口$\approx$ 6 M $_{sun}$。最后,观测到的黄-红(超)巨星比率低于预期,相对于模型的总体差异反映了突出的理论不确定性。

英文摘要:

Classical Cepheids in open clusters play an important role in benchmarking stellar evolution models, anchoring the cosmic distance scale, and invariably securing the Hubble constant. NGC 6649, NGC 6664 and Berkeley 55 are three pertinent clusters that host classical Cepheids and red (super)giants, and an analysis was consequently initiated to assess newly acquired spectra ($\approx$50), archival photometry, and $Gaia$ DR2 data. Importantly, for the first time chemical abundances are determined for the evolved members of NGC 6649 and NGC 6664. We find that they are slightly metal-poor relative to the mean Galactic gradient, and an overabundance of Ba is observed. Those clusters likely belong to the thin disc, and the latter finding supports D'Orazi et al. (2009) "$s$-enhanced" scenario. NGC 6664 and Berkeley 55 exhibit radial velocities consistent with Galactic rotation, while NGC 6649 displays a peculiar velocity. The resulting age estimates for the clusters ($\approx$70 Ma) imply masses for the (super)giant demographic of $\approx$6 M$_{sun}$. Lastly, the observed yellow-to-red (super)giant ratio is lower than expected, and the overall differences relative to models reflect outstanding theoretical uncertainties.
