摘要:

本文研究了疏散星团M67中明亮的分离食主序星WOCS 11028(Sanders 617)。虽然双星每个轨道周期只有一次日食,但由于轨道倾角有很强的约束,我们可以非常精确地推导出恒星的质量:$M_A = 1.222\pm0.006 M_\odot$和$M_B = 0.909\pm0.004 M_\odot$。我们使用光谱能量分布拟合的方法来获得的组成星的特性,而不是精确的半径,通常会来自一个双食双星。SED的反卷积显示,双星中较亮的部分位于星团的微弱关闭点--这是一个明显的演化点,发生在对流核心建立之后,而恒星正处于其向较低表面温度运动的中间,在主序结束时所谓的钩子之前。这些测量结果与太阳金属丰度演化模型存在明显分歧:需要更高的金属丰度才能重现WOCS 11028 A的特征。我们讨论了模型物理的变化,可能需要解决的差异。最清楚的结论是,扩散可能是必要的,以调和光谱丰度的M67恒星需要更高的金属丰度模型,并减少强度对流过冲发生的恒星在岔道。在超太阳体金属丰度,各种指标同意之间的集群年龄约3.5和4.0 Gyr。

英文摘要:

We present a study of the bright detached eclipsing main sequence binary WOCS 11028 (Sanders 617) in the open cluster M67. Although the binary has only one eclipse per orbital cycle, we show that the masses of the stars can be derived very precisely thanks to a strong constraint on the orbital inclination: $M_A = 1.222\pm0.006 M_\odot$ and $M_B = 0.909\pm0.004 M_\odot$. We use a spectral energy distribution fitting method to derive characteristics of the component stars in lieu of the precise radii that would normally be derived from a doubly-eclipsing binary. The deconvolution of the SEDs reveals that the brighter component of the binary is at the faint turnoff point for the cluster -- a distinct evolutionary point that occurs after the convective core has been established and while the star is in the middle of its movement toward lower surface temperature, before the so-called hook at the end of main sequence. The measurements are in distinct disagreement with evolution models at solar metallicity: higher metal abundances are needed to reproduce the characteristics of WOCS 11028 A. We discuss the changes to model physics that are likely to be needed to address the discrepancies. The clearest conclusions are that diffusion is probably necessary to reconcile spectroscopic abundances of M67 stars with the need for higher metallicity models, and that reduced strength convective overshooting is occurring for stars at the turnoff. At super-solar bulk metallicity, various indicators agree on a cluster age between about 3.5 and 4.0 Gyr.
