O / Fe in metal - poor main sequence and subgiant stars ⋆
A study of the O/Fe ratio in metal-poor main sequence and subgiant stars is presented using the [O i] 6300Å line, the O i 7774Å triplet, and a selection of weak Fe ii lines observed on high-resolution spectra acquired with the VLT UVES spectrograph. The [O i] line is detected in the spectra of 18 stars with −0.5 < [Fe/H] − 2.4, and the triplet is observed for 15 stars with [Fe/H] ranging from −...
متن کاملR-Process Abundances and Chronometers in Metal-Poor Stars
Rapid neutron-capture (i.e., r-process) nucleosynthesis calculations, employing internally consistent and physically realistic nuclear physics input (QRPA β-decay properties and the recent ETFSI-Q nuclear mass model), have been performed. These theoretical computations assume the classical waiting-point approximation of (n,γ) ← (γ,n) equilibrium. The calculations reproduce the solar isotopic r-...
متن کاملr-Process Abundance Signatures in Metal-Poor Halo Stars
Abundance observations indicate the presence of rapid-neutron capture (i.e., r-process) elements in old Galactic halo and globular cluster stars. Recent observations of the r-process-enriched star BD+17◦3248 include new abundance determinations for the neutron-capture elements Cd I (Z=48), Lu II (Z = 71) and Os II (Z = 76), the first detections of these elements in metal-poor r-process-enriched...
متن کاملHeavy Element Diffusion in Metal Poor Stars
Stellar evolution models which include the effect of helium and heavy element diffusion have been calculated for initial iron abundances of [Fe/H] = −2.3, −2.1, −1.9 and −1.7. These models were calculated for a large variety of masses and three separate mixing lengths, α = 1.50, 1.75 and 2.00 (with α = 1.75 being the solar calibrated mixing length). The change in the surface iron abundance for ...
متن کاملOrigin of the main r-process elements
The r-process is supposed to be a primary process which assembles heavy nuclei from a photo-dissociated nucleon gas. Hence, the reaction flow through light elements can be important as a constraint on the conditions for the r-process. We have studied the impact of di-neutron capture and the neutron-capture of light (Z 10) elements on r-process nucleosynthesis in three different environments: ne...
