摘要:

我们收集了近300颗已知锂丰度的红巨星的近红外$zyJ$波段高分辨率光谱,以测量它们的\species{He}{i} $λ$ 10830吸收强度。这种转变是红巨星色球活动和/或质量损失的指示。根据$V-J,M_V$色星等图和盖亚\teff、\logg \值,我们样本中的大多数恒星都位于红色团块或红色水平分支中。我们的大多数目标星都是贫锂星,也就是说通常锂的丰度很低,这里定义为\eps{Li} ~ $<$ ~1.25。超过90%的贫锂星具有弱的$λ$ 10830特征。但在83颗富锂恒星中,有一半以上(\eps{Li} ~ $>$ ~1.25)具有强的$λ$ 10830吸收。这些大的$λ$ 10830线表示富锂恒星的色球活动过度;几乎没有明显的质量损失迹象。根据他们的天体测量数据,富锂巨星也可能比贫锂恒星有更高的双星比例。居住在横支上和现在或过去的二元互动可能都在这次调查中建立的重要的李和联系中发挥作用。

英文摘要:

We have gathered near-infrared $zyJ$-band high resolution spectra of nearly 300 field red giant stars with known lithium abundances in order to survey their \species{He}{i} $λ$10830 absorption strengths. This transition is an indicator of chromospheric activity and/or mass loss in red giants. The majority of stars in our sample reside in the red clump or red horizontal branch based on their $V-J,M_V$ color-magnitude diagram and their Gaia \teff, \logg\ values. Most of our target stars are Li-poor in the sense of having normally low Li abundances, defined here as \eps{Li}~$<$~1.25. Over 90\% of these Li-poor stars have weak $λ$10830 features. But more than half of the 83 Li-rich stars (\eps{Li}~$>$~1.25) have strong $λ$10830 absorptions. These large $λ$10830 lines signal excess chromospheric activity in Li-rich stars; there is almost no indication of significant mass loss. The Li-rich giants also may have a higher binary fraction than do Li-poor stars, based on their astrometric data. It appears likely that both residence on the horizontal branch and present or past binary interaction play roles in the significant Li-He connection established in this survey.
