Oxygen in Galactic Disk Stars : non - LTE abundances from the 777 nm O I triplet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oxygen abundances for a large sample of dwarf and giant stars kinematically selected to be part of the Galactic thin and thick disks have been determined from a non-LTE analysis of the O I triplet lines at 777 nm. The abundance analysis was performed using the infrared flux method temperature scale, trigonometric surface gravities, and accurate atomic data. Within this framework, the ionization balance of iron lines could not be satisfied and so we adopted the iron abundances from Fe II lines only given that they are relatively less sensitive to changes in the atmospheric parameters. We show the resulting [O/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] relationship and briefly discuss its implications.

3d Non-lte Line Formation in the Solar Photosphere and the Solar Oxygen Abundance
We study the formation of O i and OH spectral lines in three-dimensional hydrodynamic models of the solar photosphere. The line source function of the O i 777 nm triplet is allowed to depart from local ther-modynamic equilibrium (lte), within the two-level-atom approximation. Comparison with results from 1D models show that the 3D models alleviate, but do not remove, the discrepancy between the...
متن کاملOXYGEN LINE FORMATION IN LATE-F THROUGH EARLY-K DISK/HALO STARS: INFRARED O i TRIPLET AND [O i] LINES
In order to investigate the formation of O i 7771–5 and [O i] 6300/6363 lines, extensive non-LTE calculations for neutral atomic oxygen were carried out for wide ranges of model atmosphere parameters, which are applicable to early-K through late-F halo/disk stars of various evolutionary stages. A useful formula with tabulated numerical coefficients is presented, applicable to evaluating NLTE co...
متن کاملOn the determination of oxygen abundances in chromospherically active stars
We discuss oxygen abundances derived from [O ] λ6300 and the O triplet in stars spanning a wide range in chromospheric activity level, and show that these two indicators yield increasingly discrepant results with higher chromospheric/coronal activity measures. While the forbidden and permitted lines give fairly consistent results for solar-type disk dwarfs, spuriously high O triplet abunda...
متن کاملEarly Galactic Evolution of Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen
We present results on carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen abundances for a sample of unevolved metal-poor stars with metallicities in the range −0.3< [Fe/H]< −3. Oxygen abundances derived from different indicators are compared showing consistently that in the range 0.3 >[Fe/H]> −3.0, the [O/Fe] ratio increases from approximately 0 to 1. We find a good agreement between abundances based on the forbidde...
متن کاملNon-LTE Abundances of Magnesium, Aluminum and Sulfur in OB Stars Near the Solar Circle
Non-LTE abundances of magnesium, aluminum and sulfur are derived for a sample of 23 low-v sin i stars belonging to six northern OB associations of the Galactic disk within 1 kpc of the Sun. The abundances are obtained from the fitting of synthetic line profiles to high resolution spectra. A comparison of our results with HII region abundances indicates good agreement for sulfur while the cephei...
