银河系晕、厚盘、薄盘和核球中氮的演化

Nitrogen evolution in the halo, thick disc, thin disc and bulge of the Galaxy

Valeria Grisoni, Francesca Matteucci, Donatella Romano

摘要:

通过详细的化学演化模型与最近的观测结果的比较,我们研究了氮在星系晕、厚盘、薄盘和球中的演化。在这项工作中使用的模型已经被限制来解释的丰度模式的$α$-元素和晕,盘和隆起的恒星的金属丰度分布函数,在这里,我们采用它们来调查的起源和演化的N在不同的银河系组件。首先,我们考虑不同的产量和研究的重要性,提出了各种渠道的N生产。其次,我们应用参考模型研究了银盘和球核的演化。我们的结论是:i)旋转的大质量恒星产生的原生N需要在低金属丰度下重现log(N/O)和[N/Fe]比率的平台,以及来自低质量和中等质量恒星的次生和原生N,以重现薄盘的数据。ii)平行模型可以很好地解释厚盘和薄盘中N丰度的演化;我们证实厚盘的演化速度比薄盘快得多,与其他化学元素丰度模式的结果一致。iii)最后,我们提出了新的模型预测的N演化在银河系核球,我们表明,在核球恒星的观测可以解释,如果大质量恒星旋转快,在早期阶段的星系演化,在协议的结果,从丰富的碳模式。

英文摘要:

We study the evolution of nitrogen in the Galactic halo, thick disc, thin disc and bulge by comparing detailed chemical evolution models with recent observations. The models used in this work have already been constrained to explain the abundance patterns of $α$-elements and the metallicity distribution functions of halo, disc and bulge stars; here, we adopt them to investigate the origin and evolution of N in the different Galactic components. First, we consider different sets of yields and study the importance of the various channels proposed for N production. Secondly, we apply the reference models to study the evolution of both the Galactic discs and bulge. We conclude that: i) primary N produced by rotating massive stars is required to reproduce the plateau in log(N/O) and [N/Fe] ratios at low metallicity, as well as the secondary and primary production from low- and intermediate-mass stars to reproduce the data of the thin disc. ii) The parallel model can provide a good explanation of the evolution of N abundance in the thick and thin discs; we confirm that the thick disc has evolved much faster than the thin disc, in agreement with the results from the abundance patterns of other chemical elements. iii) Finally, we present new model predictions for N evolution in the Galactic bulge, and we show that the observations in bulge stars can be explained if massive stars rotate fast during the earliest phases of Galactic evolution, in agreement with findings from the abundance pattern of carbon.
