摘要:

我们目前的[Ffe/H]丰度的结果,涉及一个样本的恒星具有广泛的光度范围从发光巨星恒星附近的一个球状星团的关闭。我们在M71中的25颗恒星样本包括10颗比RHB更亮的巨星,3颗水平分支星,9颗比RHB更暗的巨星,以及3颗靠近岔道的恒星。我们分析了在W. M.凯克天文台。我们发现,[Fe/H]丰度从Fe I和Fe II线同意彼此和早期的测定。此外,从Fe I和Fe II线获得的[Fe/H]在Teff和光度的整个范围内,这组恒星在相当小的不确定性内是恒定的,这表明NLTE效应在我们的铁丰度测定中可以忽略不计。在这个球状星团中,位于RHB或其上的巨星、RHB星、位于RHB之下的巨星和在岔道附近的巨星的平均[Fe/H]没有差别。

英文摘要:

We present [Ffe/H] abundance results that involve a sample of stars with a wide range in luminosity from luminous giants to stars near the turnoff in a globular cluster. Our sample of 25 stars in M71 includes 10 giant stars more luminous than the RHB, 3 horizontal branch stars, 9 giant stars less luminous than the RHB, and 3 stars near the turnoff. We analyzed both Fe I and Fe II lines in high dispersion spectra observed with HIRES at the W. M. Keck Observatory. We find that the [Fe/H] abundances from both Fe I and Fe II lines agree with each other and with earlier determinations. Also the [Fe/H] obtained from Fe I and Fe II lines is constant within the rather small uncertainties for this group of stars over the full range in Teff and luminosity, suggesting that NLTE effects are negligible in our iron abundance determination. In this globular cluster, there is no difference among the mean [Fe/H] of giant stars located at or above the RHB, RHB stars, giant stars located below the RHB and stars near the turnoff.
