Context. High-resolution spectroscopy in the near-infrared (NIR) is a powerful tool for characterising the physical and chemical properties of cool-star atmospheres. The current generation of NIR echelle spectrographs enables the sampling of many spectral features over the full 0.9-2.4 μm range for a detailed chemical tagging. Aims. Within the Stellar Population Astrophysics Large Program at the TNG, we used a high-resolution (R=50000) NIR spectrum of Arcturus acquired with the GIANO-B echelle spectrograph as a laboratory to define and calibrate an optimal line list and new diagnostic tools to derive accurate stellar parameters and chemical abundances. Methods. We inspected several hundred NIR atomic and molecular lines to derive abundances of 26 different chemical species, including CNO, iron-group, alpha, Z-odd, and neutron-capture elements. We then performed a similar analysis in the optical using Arcturus VLT-UVES spectra. Results. Through the combined NIR and optical analysis we defined a new thermometer and a new gravitometer for giant stars, based on the comparison of carbon (for the thermometer) and oxygen (for the gravitometer) abundances, as derived from atomic and molecular lines. We then derived self-consistent stellar parameters and chemical abundances of Arcturus over the full 4800 - 24500 Å spectral range and compared them with previous studies in the literature. We finally discuss a number of problematic lines that may be affected by deviations from thermal equilibrium and/or chromospheric activity, as traced by the observed variability of He I at 10830 Å.

目的。我们用HARPS-N摄谱仪观测了$τ$ Boo系统,以测试一种新的观测策略,旨在联合研究星震学、行星轨道和恒星-行星磁相互作用。方法.我们几乎连续收集了11个晚上的高步频观测数据,并使用专用软件对每个晚上的原始FITS文件进行平均。这样,我们获得了光谱与高信噪比,用于研究的变化的CaII H&K线,并有径向速度值从恒星振荡,而不会丢失的振荡信息。我们开发了一个专用软件来构建一个新的自定义掩模,我们使用该掩模来改进HARPS-N管道的径向速度测定并执行光谱分析。结果我们更新了行星星历表,并显示了恒星双星伴星引起的加速度。我们对恒星活动变化的研究结果表明,在我们的观测时间跨度内存在高纬度谱斑。色球活动与行星轨道相位之间的相关性仍然不清楚。在径向速度时间序列中检测到类似太阳的振荡:我们估计了星震量,发现它们与理论预测吻合得很好。我们的恒星模型产生的年龄$τ$陀螺的$τ$布和进一步约束的恒星质量值为$1.38\pm0.05$ M $_\odot$。
