摘要:

S星是晚型巨星,是渐近巨星分支(AGB)上M型星和碳星之间的过渡天体。它们被分为两种类型:内在的或外在的,基于锝(Tc)的存在或不存在。富Tc星或内禀S星是热脉冲(TP-)AGB星,内部产生s-过程元素(包括Tc),这些元素通过第三次疏浚(TDU)被带到它们的表面。贫Tc星或外生S星通过吸积AGB伴星的s过程富集物质获得了它们的s过程过量,AGB伴星后来变成了昏暗的白矮星。我们的目标是调查富Tc S星的演化状态,通过使用盖亚早期数据发布3(EDR 3)的结果将它们定位在赫兹-罗素(HR)图中。我们将当前的13颗富Tc恒星样本与我们先前对10颗富Tc恒星的研究相结合,以确定TDU在金属丰度范围[-0.7; 0]内的观测起始点。我们还比较了我们的丰度测定与专用AGB核合成预测。恒星参数的推导使用的迭代工具,它结合了HERMES高分辨率光谱,准确的盖亚EDR 3弛豫时间,恒星演化模型和定制的MARCS模型的S-型星的大气。利用这些恒星参数,我们通过线合成确定了重元素丰度。在HR图中,本征S星位于比预测的TDU起始点更高的光度处。这些发现与富Tc的S星是真正的TP-AGB星是一致的。我们的内在S星的核合成预测的派生的S-过程丰度配置文件的比较提供了一个整体良好的协议。具有最高[s/Fe]的恒星往往具有最高的C/O比。

英文摘要:

S stars are late-type giants that are transition objects between M-type stars and carbon stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). They are classified into two types: intrinsic or extrinsic, based on the presence or absence of technetium (Tc). The Tc-rich or intrinsic S stars are thermally-pulsing (TP-)AGB stars internally producing s-process elements (including Tc) which are brought to their surface via the third dredge-up (TDU). Tc-poor or extrinsic S stars gained their s-process overabundances via accretion of s-process-rich material from an AGB companion which has since turned into a dim white dwarf. Our goal is to investigate the evolutionary status of Tc-rich S stars by locating them in a Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram using the results of Gaia early Data Release 3 (EDR3). We combine the current sample of 13 Tc-rich stars with our previous studies of 10 Tc-rich stars to determine the observational onset of the TDU in the metallicity range [-0.7; 0]. We also compare our abundance determinations with dedicated AGB nucleosynthesis predictions. The stellar parameters are derived using an iterative tool which combines HERMES high-resolution spectra, accurate Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, stellar evolution models and tailored MARCS model atmospheres for S-type stars. Using these stellar parameters we determine the heavy-element abundances by line synthesis. In the HR diagram, the intrinsic S stars are located at higher luminosities than the predicted onset of the TDU. These findings are consistent with Tc-rich S stars being genuinely TP-AGB stars. The comparison of the derived s-process abundance profiles of our intrinsic S stars with the nucleosynthesis predictions provide an overall good agreement. Stars with highest [s/Fe] tend to have the highest C/O ratios.
