测量冷恒星中的氢氦比

Measuring Hydrogen-to-Helium Ratio in Cool Stars

B. P. Hema, Gajendra Pandey

AI总结:

本研究利用Mg I与MgH谱线测得的镁丰度差异,在球状星团半人马座ω巨星中首次光谱发现轻度缺氢或氦增丰恒星。

摘要:

传统上,恒星的氦氢比通常采用标准值0.1,除非恒星像RCB类恒星那样严重缺氢,或者在暖星或更热恒星中利用He I跃迁精确测量了氦丰度。在本研究中,我们通过Mg I谱线与MgH(0,0)带次级谱线测得的镁丰度之间存在的巨大差异(>0.3 dex),检测到正常巨星氦氢比相对于标准值0.1的微小变化。这些恒星属于轻度缺氢或氦增丰恒星。此类恒星是在球状星团半人马座ω的巨星中通过光谱学首次发现的。本文详细讨论了样本选择、观测、方法和结果。

英文摘要:

Conventionally, the helium-to-hydrogen ratio for the stars are adopted to be 0.1, as standard, unless, the stars are severely deficient in hydrogen like in RCB-class, or the stars' helium abundance is accurately measured using He I transitions in warm/hotter stars. In our study, the small change in helium-to-hydrogen ratio (from standard value, 0.1) in normal giants were detected from the large difference (> 0.3 dex) in the Mg-abundance measured from Mg I lines and the subordinate lines of (0,0) MgH band. These are the stars that are mildly hydrogen-deficient/He-enhanced. Such stars were spectroscopically discovered for the first time among giants of the globular cluster Omega Centauri. The sample selection, observations, methodology and results are discussed in detail.
