Abundance analysis of cool extreme helium star : LSS 3378
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abundance analysis of the cool extreme helium (EHe) star LSS 3378 is presented. The abundance analysis is done using LTE line formation and LTE model atmospheres constructed for EHe stars. The atmosphere of LSS 3378 shows evidence of H-burning, He-burning, and sprocess nucleosynthesis. The derived abundances of iron-peak and α-elements indicate absence of selective fractionation or any other processes that can distort chemical composition of these elements. Hence, the Fe abundance (log ǫ(Fe) = 6.1) is adopted as an initial metallicity indicator. The measured abundances of LSS 3378 are compared with those of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars and with rest of the EHe stars as a group.

Temperature and gravity of the pulsating extreme helium star LSS 3184 ( BX Cir ) through its pulsation cycle ⋆
We report the analysis of optical spectra of the extreme helium star LSS 3184 (BX Cir) to determine its effective temperature and gravity throughout its pulsation cycle. The spectra were also used to measure its chemical abundances. We report rest gravity, log g = 3.38 ± 0.02, and a chemical abundance mixture consistent with those reported earlier in a study using an optical spectrum with lower...
متن کاملModel Atmosphere Analysis of Two Very Cool White Dwarfs
A detailed analysis of the very cool white dwarfs SDSS 1337+00 and LHS 3250 is presented. Model atmosphere calculations with improved collision-induced absorptions by molecular hydrogen indicate that a pure hydrogen composition can be ruled out, and that the strong infrared absorption observed in these cool stars is better explained in terms of collisions of H 2 with neutral helium. It is shown...
متن کاملFirst stars as a possible origin for the helium - rich population in ω Cen
The most massive Galactic globular cluster ω Cen appears to have two, or perhaps more, distinct main sequences. Its bluest main sequence is at the centre of debate because it has been suggested to have an extremely high helium abundance of Y ∼ 0.4. The same helium abundance is claimed to explain the presence of extreme horizontal branch stars of ω Cen as well. This demands a relative helium to ...
متن کاملEffects of resolution and helium abundance in A star surface convection simulations
We present results from 2D radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of fully compressible convection for the surface layers of A-type stars with the ANTARES code. Spectroscopic indicators for photospheric convective velocity fields show a maximum of velocities near Teff ∼ 8000 K. In that range the largest values are measured for the subgroup of Am stars. Thus far, no prognostic model, neither theor...
متن کاملIsotopic Anomalies in CP Stars : Helium , Mercury , Platinum , and Calcium
We review the classical observational results for isotopic abundance variations for several elements in CP stars. We concentrate on the " newest " anomaly, in calcium. The cosmically very rare isotope, 48 Ca can rival and even dominate the more common, alpha nuclide, 40 Ca. Relevant examples are found in the hot, non-magnetic HgMn stars, and the field horizontal-branch star, Feige 86. The calci...
