Modeling binary stars: age, helium abundance, and convection parameters
Stellar evolutionary models simulate well binary stars when individual stellar mass and system metallicity are known. The main goal of this paper is to determine a set of stellar parameters (mass, age, helium abundance, and convection parameters) for binary systems formed by FGK main-sequence stars of Population I. For a selected group of seven binaries, where luminosity, e ective temperature, ...
متن کاملThe Primordial Helium Abundance
The primordial abundance of He, YP , is one of the hottest themes in present-day astronomy, mostly due to its cosmological relevance. The disagreement between different determinations has been currently reduced to the 1-2% level, but these differences are still large enough to have deep implications for Big-Bang nucleosynthesis. It is therefore crucial to estimate precisely the uncertainties in...
متن کاملSpectroscopic Signatures of Convection in the Spectrum of Procyon. Fundamental Parameters and Iron Abundance
We have observed the spectrum of Procyon A (F5IV) from 4559 to 5780 Å with a S/N of ∼ 10 and a resolving power of 2 × 10. We have measured the line bisectors and relative line shifts of a large number of Fe I and Fe II lines, comparing them to those found in the Sun. A three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamical model atmosphere has been computed and is tested against observations. The model reproduc...
متن کاملAbundance analyses of cool extreme helium stars
Extreme helium stars (EHes) with effective temperatures from 8000 to 13 000 K are among the coolest EHes and overlap the hotter R CrB stars in effective temperature. The cool EHes may represent an evolutionary link between the hot EHes and the R CrB stars. Abundance analyses of four cool EHes, BD118 4381 (FQ Aqr), LS IV 2148 109, BD 218 3438 (NO Ser) and LS IV 218 002 (V2244 Oph), are presented...
متن کاملOn the Abundance of Primordial Helium
We have used recent observations of helium-4, nitrogen and oxygen from some four dozen, low metallicity, extra-galactic HII regions to define mean N versus O, He versus N and He versus O relations which are extrapolated to zero metallicity to determine the primordial He mass fraction YP . The data and various subsets of the data, selected on the basis of nitrogen and oxygen, are all consistent ...
