摘要:

钡(Ba)星被富含慢中子俘获(s-过程)元素的物质污染,这些元素是在它们以前的渐近巨星分支(AGB)伴星内部合成的,现在是一颗白矮星。我们比较个别Ba星丰度模式AGB核合成模型,以验证AGB模型质量是否与独立推导的AGB质量兼容。我们选择了一个样本的28个Ba星,这两个自洽的光谱观测和分析是可用的和恒星质量的测定,通过定位恒星的HR图和比较的演化轨迹。对于这个样本恒星,我们考虑了以前和最近得出的元素丰度。然后,我们进行了详细的比较,这些s-过程元素丰度不同的AGB核合成模型从Monash和FRUITY的理论数据集。我们简化了二进制的质量传递计算稀释因子,以匹配[Ce/Fe]值的每一个明星时,使用不同的AGB模型,然后我们比较稀释的模型丰度完整的Ba星丰度模式。我们的比较证实,低质量,非旋转AGB恒星模型与13 C作为主要的中子源是污染的绝大多数考虑Ba星。在28颗恒星中,有21颗的模型与确定的丰度和独立推导的AGB质量都很好地吻合,尽管在16种情况下观察到的Nb、Ru、Mo和/或Nd、Sm的丰度高于预测。对于3星,我们得到一个匹配的丰度只有考虑模型的质量低于独立确定的。最后,4颗星显示出比模型预测高得多的第一个s-过程峰值丰度值,这可能代表了物理和/或核合成过程的签名,而这些过程在这里考虑的模型中没有表示。

英文摘要:

Barium (Ba) stars are polluted by material enriched in the slow neutron capture (s-process) elements synthesised in the interior of their former asymptotic giant branch (AGB) companion star, which is now a white dwarf. We compare individual Ba star abundance patterns to AGB nucleosynthesis models to verify if the AGB model mass is compatible with independently derived AGB mass. We selected a sample of 28 Ba stars for which both self-consistent spectroscopic observation and analysis are available and stellar mass determinations, via positioning the star on the HR diagram and comparing with evolutionary tracks. For this sample stars we considered both previously and recently derived elemental abundances. Then, we performed a detailed comparison of these s-process elemental abundances to different AGB nucleosynthesis models from the Monash and the FRUITY theoretical data sets. We simplified the binary mass transfer by calculating dilution factors to match the [Ce/Fe] value of each star when using different AGB models, and we then compared the diluted model abundances to the complete Ba-star abundance pattern. Our comparison confirms that low mass, non-rotating AGB stellar models with 13C as the main neutron source are the polluters of the vast majority of the considered Ba stars. Out of the 28 stars, in 21 cases the models are in good agreement with both the determined abundances and the independently derived AGB mass, although in 16 cases higher observed abundances of Nb, Ru, Mo and/or Nd, Sm than predicted. For 3 stars we obtain a match to the abundances only by considering models with masses lower than those independently determined. Finally, 4 stars show much higher first s-process peak abundance values than the model predictions, which may represent the signature of a physical and/or nucleosynthetic process that is not represented in the set of models considered here.
