The results of a study of the chemical compositions of Galactic planetary nebulae taking into account two types of inhomogeneity in the nebular gas density in their envelopes are reported. New analytical expressions for the ionization correction factors have been derived and are used to determine the chemical compositions of the nebular gas in Galactic planetary nebulae. The abundances of He, N, O, Ne, S, and Ar have been found for 193 objects. The Y–Z diagrams for various He abundances are analyzed for type II planetary nebulae separately and jointly with HII regions. The primordial helium abundance Y p and enrichment ratio dY/dZ are determined, and the resulting values are compared with the data of other authors. Radial abundance gradients in the Galactic disk are studied using type II planetary nebulae. 相似文献

Optimization photoionization models are computed for nine planetary nebulae with various metallicities with the aim of determining their chemical compositions. The algorithm used to compute the models is based on identifying best-fit values of the physical parameters of the nebulae by minimizing the χ2 residual for fits to the observed spectra of these objects. The reliability of the results is investigated. The abundances of He, C, N, O, Ne, Si, S, and Ar are derived, as well as the physical characteristics of the nebulae. The Y -Z dependences (where Y and Z are the mass abundances of helium and heavy elements, respectively) are analyzed for the planetary nebulae together with HII regions in blue compact dwarf galaxies. The primordial helium abundance, Y p = 0.2479 ± 0.0014, and dY/dZ = 2.99 ± 0.32 are determined, and found to be close to the corresponding values obtained using ionization correction factors. 相似文献

Optimized photoionization models of selected HII regions in Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies are calculated with the aim of determining their chemical composition. The stability of the optimized-photoionization calculations and means of deriving the most accurate chemical abundances are checked. Initialization of the free physical parameters using different data sets, deviations from spherical geometry, and the introduction of gas-density fluctuations in an HII region do not affect the accuracy of the derived chemical compositions. The chemical abundances found for 12 HII regions using the optimized-photoionization models are used to derive the primordial helium abundance Y p and its enrichment dY/dZ. The obtained values of Y p and dY/dZ are close to values found previously using ionization-correction factors. 相似文献

The He/H abundances in HII regions in Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxies are redetermined using the new recombination coefficients of Benjamin et al. The electron number density n e in the He+ region, optical depth τ3889 in the HeI λ3889 Å line, and coefficient of underlying stellar absorption aHeI are determined using the self-consistent method of Olive and Skillman. The primordial helium abundance and its enrichment are found using the helium abundances obtained in this paper and heavy-element abundances from our recent paper I: Y p = 0.244 ± 0.004 and dY/dZ = 8.8 ± 4.6. 相似文献

The technique of nebular-gas diagnostics was used to find electronic temperatures T e , concentrations n e , relative ion concentrations n(A+i )/n(H+), and chemical abundances A/H for planetary nebulae in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. This analysis took into account inhomogeneities of the nebular-gas density in the nebulae. We determined the pre-galactic helium abundance Y p and its rate of enrichment dY/dZ for the envelopes of nine nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Taken together with the Galaxy’s planetary nebulae and HII regions in blue compact dwarf galaxies, Y p = 0.248 ± 0.002, dY/dZ = 2.31 ± 0.48 and Y p = 0.247 ± 0.002, dY/dZ = 3.03 ± 0.56, respectively, when macroinhomogeneities and macro/microinhomogeneities of the gas density in galactic nebulae are taken into account. 相似文献

A new method for determining the physical parameters, ionizing Lyman continua (Lyc) and chemical compositions of HII regions
in blue compact dwarf galaxies is developed. We propose our modified NLEHII method, which is independent on the initial mass
function (IMF) for the determination of the Lyc spectra of the ionizing nuclei of HII regions. This method is based on the
assumptions of ionization-recombination and thermal equilibria in the HII regions. It is used to calculate the Lyc spectra
for optimization photoionization models (OPhMs) of HII regions in an iterative way, since the Lyc spectrum depends on parameters
that can be found from photoionization modeling. We apply this method to determine the chemical composition of an HII region
in the blue compact dwarf galaxy SBS 0940+544 and, in particular, the helium mass fraction Y.

The basic parameters and detailed chemical compositions of three asymptotic giant branch stars with similar effective temperatures and surface gravities have been determined using CCD spectra obtained with the échelle spectrometers of the SAO 6-m telescope. The metallicity and chemical composition of the optical counterpart of the OH/IR star IRAS 18123 + 0511 have been derived for the first time. The abundance [X/H]⊙ of the iron group elements (V, Cr, Fe) is ?0.45 dex. An overabundance of oxygen, [O/Fe]⊙=1.44 dex, is detected in the atmosphere of this star. The abundances of s-process heavy elements are not enhanced, and are instead underabundant with respect to the metallicity: the average value of [X/Fe]⊙ for Y, Zr, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Nd is ?0.25. The derived abundances confirm that IRAS 18123 + 0511 is in the AGB stage of its evolution. The metallicity of the object, together with its radial velocity V r=78.0 km/s and Galactic latitude |b|=11°, suggest that it belongs to the old disk population. The expansion velocity of the circumstellar envelope, V exp≈21 km/s, is derived from the positions of circumstellar absorption bands. The set of parameters obtained for the low-metallicity, highlatitude supergiants BD + 18° 2757 and BD + 18° 2890 (with iron abundances [Fe/H]⊙=2.10 and ?1.48, respectively) confirm that they are evolved halo stars, and probably UU Her-type stars. 相似文献

The chemical compositions of the atmospheres of six metal-poor stars are analyzed. Spectra with signal-to-noise ratios of no less than 100 and a resolution of R≈17 000 were obtained using the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The abundances of Li, O, α-process elements (Mg, Si, Ca, Ti), Na, K, Sc, iron-peak elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn), and s-process elements (Y, Ba) are derived. The star G251-54 ([Fe/H]=?1.55, T eff=5541 K, logg=3.58) is deficient in some elements compared to both stars with similar metallicities and the Sun. The atmosphere of G251-54 has the following elemental abundances relative to iron: [O/Fe]=+0.47, [α/Fe]≈?0.3, [Na/Fe]=?0.60, [Sc/Fe]=?0.57, [Cr, Ni, Fe]≈0, [Zn/Fe]=+0.16, [Cu/Fe]=?0.66, [Y/Fe]=?0.70, and [Ba/Fe]=?1.35. The remaining five stars have metallicities in the range ?1.6<[Fe/H]相似文献

The surface gravities and effective temperatures have been added to a compilative catalog published earlier, which includes the relative abundances of several chemical elements for 100 field RR Lyrae stars. These atmoshperic parameters and evolutionary tracks from the Dartmouth database are used to determine the masses of the stars and perform a comparative analysis of the properties of RR Lyrae stars with different chemical compositions. The masses of metal-rich ([Fe/H] > −0.5) RR Lyrae stars with thin disk kinematics are in the range (0.51−0.60)M⊙. Only stars with initial masses exceeding 1M⊙ can reach the horizontal branch during the lifetime of this subsystem. To become an RR Lyrae variable, a star must have lost approximately half of its mass during the red-giant phase. The appearance of such young, metal-rich RR Lyrae stars is possibly due to high initial helium abundances of their progenitors. According to the Dartmouth evolutionary tracks for Y = 0.4, a star with an initial mass as low as 0.8 M⊙ could evolve to become an RR Lyrae variable during this time. Such stars should have lost (0.2−0.3)M⊙ in the red-giant phase, which seems quite realistic. Populations of red giants and RR Lyrae stars with such high helium abundances have already been discovered in the bulge; some of these could easily be transported to the solar neighborhood as a consequence of perturbations due to inhomogeneities of the Galaxy’s gravitational potential.

A differential analysis of the magnesium abundances in 61 F-K dwarfs and subgiants with metallicities ?2.6<[Fe/H]<+0.2 is performed based on published observational data. Fundamental parameters for 36 stars are determined: T eff from V-K and V-R; logg from HIPPARCOS parallaxes, and [Fe/H] and ξt from Fe II lines. The computations allow for non-LTE effects in the formation of the Mg I lines. For most of the stars, the standard errors in the Mg abundances do not exceed 0.07 dex. The metallicity dependence of [Mg/Fe] is analyzed. Magnesium shows a constant overabundance relative to Fe of 0.46±0.06 dex for metallicities ?2.6<[Fe/H] $\overline {[Mg/Fe]} = + 0.22 dex$ ) compared to the [Mg/Fe] values for other stars with similar [Fe/H]. 相似文献

The atmospheric abundances of 30 chemical elements in the halo star HD 221170 are analyzed by fitting synthetic spectra to observed spectra (i) with a resolution of 60 000 and signal-to-noise ratios of about 200 taken with the 1.93-m telescope of the Observatoire de Haute Provence and (ii) with a resolution of 35 000 and signal-to-noise ratios of more than 100 taken with the 2-m telescope of the Terskol Peak Observatory. The derived parameters of the stellar atmosphere are Teff=4475 K, log g=1.0, [Fe/H]=?2.03, Vmicro=1.7 km/s, and Vmacro=4 km/s. The parameters Teff, log g, [Fe/H], and Vmicro can be determined by analyzing the variations of the rms error of the mean iron abundance derived using different model atmospheres. The chemical composition of the star’s atmosphere is analyzed. The abundances of a total of 35 elements in HD 221170 have been derived in this paper and in previous studies. Overall, the abundances of elements lighter than praseodymium are consistent with the elemental abundances in the atmospheres of stars with similar metal deficits. Copper and manganese are underabundant by ?2.9 and ?2.6 dex, respectively, relative to the Sun (when the analysis includes the effects of hyperfine structure). Heavy r-process elements (starting from praseodymium) are overabundant compared to iron-group elements. This can be explained by an enrichment in r-process elements of the material from which the star was formed. 相似文献

A graphical procedure is described by which analytical data for a suite of metavolcanic rocks may be tested to detect, and correct for, later metasomatic modification of individual sample compositions. The method involves plotting the analytical data in terms of oxide molecular proportion ratios in the form log vs. log , where X, Y, and Z are the oxide molecular proportions (e.g. SiO2, Al2O3…) calculated from the whole-rock weight per cent analyses. For metasomatism involving several components, a single X, Y, Z diagram does not provide a unique solution for possible changes in X, Y, and Z, but for a suite of metasomatised samples, a unique solution can be tested for by using a set of such diagrams.Two initial assumptions are required: firstly, that the altered rocks initially had compositions which, when plotted on the diagrams used, would conform with the well-defined trends shown to be present in relatively unaltered post-Mesozoic suites; secondly, that Al2O3 remained immobile during alteration. For the method to be applied to any particular set of analytical data a second relatively immobile component must also be identified, using the first assumption above.The method has been applied to major-element analyses of approximately 250 samples of mafic to felsic volcanic rocks from the Archean greenstone belt at Timagami, northeast Ontario. It has shown that alkalies, lime, magnesia, and iron have moved appreciably and differently in different parts of the belt. We therefore suggest caution in the characterization of Archean volcanics as low-K tholeiites, calc-alkaline, and so on, by simple comparison of their compositions with those of young volcanics. 相似文献

Thirty-three whole-rock drill core samples and thirteen olivine, chromite, and sulfide separates from three differentiated komatiite lava flows at Alexo and Pyke Hill, Canada, were analyzed for PGEs using the Carius tube digestion ID-ICP-MS technique. The emplaced lavas are Al-undepleted komatiites with ∼27% MgO derived by ∼50% partial melting of LILE-depleted Archean mantle. Major and minor element variations during and after emplacement were controlled by 30 to 50% fractionation of olivine Fo93-94. The emplaced lavas are characterized by (Pd/Ir)N = 4.0 to 4.6, (Os/Ir)N = 1.07, and Os abundances of ∼2.3 ppb. Variations in PGE abundances within individual flows indicate that Os and Ir were compatible (bulk DOs,Ir = 2.4-7.1) and that Pt and Pd were incompatible (bulk DPt,Pd < 0.2) during lava differentiation, whereas bulk DRu was close to unity. Analyses of cumulus olivine separates indicate that PGEs were incompatible in olivine (DPGEsOl-Liq = 0.04-0.7). The bulk fractionation trends cannot be accounted for by fractionation of olivine alone, and require an unidentified Os-Ir-rich phase. The composition of the mantle source (Os = 3.9 ppb, Ir = 3.6 ppb, Ru = 5.4 ppb, Pt and Pd = 5.7 ppb) was constrained empirically for Ru, Pt, and Pd; the Os/Ir ratio was taken to be identical to that in the emplaced melt, and the Ru/Ir ratio was taken to be chondritic, so that the absolute IPGE abundances of the source were determined by Ru. This is the first estimate of the PGE composition of a mantle source derived from analyses of erupted lavas. The suprachondritic Pd/Ir and Os/Ir of the inferred Abitibi komatiite mantle source are similar to those in off-craton spinel lherzolites, orogenic massif lherzolites, and enstatite chondrites, and are considered to be an intrinsic mantle feature. Bulk partition coefficients for use in komatiite melting models derived from the source and emplaced melt compositions are: DOs,Ir = 2.3, DRu = 1.0, DPt,Pd = 0.07. Ruthenium abundances are good indicators of absolute IPGE abundances in the mantle sources of komatiite melts with 26 to 29% MgO, as Ru fractionates very little during both high degrees of partial melting and lava differentiation. 相似文献

The non-LTE potassium abundances in the atmospheres of 33 Galactic-disk stars are derived and the parameters of the atmospheres of 23 of the stars are determined. Neglecting departures from LTE results in a systematic overestimation of the potassium abundances and an increase in their dispersion, even for differential analyses relative to the Sun. The non-LTE corrections are significant ((?0.2)–(?0.6) dex) and depend on the surface gravities and effective temperatures of the stars. The mean potassium abundance for a sample of ten stars with [Fe/H]～0.0 is in agreement with the solar and meteoritic abundances (log ? ⊙(K)=5.12). As the stellar metallicity increases from [Fe/H]=(?1.0) to (0.2) dex, the [K/Fe] ratio decreases systematically from 0.3 dex to ?0.1 dex. The derived dependence [K/Fe]-[Fe/H] is in agreement with the results of published model calculations of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. This indicates the dominance of explosive oxygen burning in massive type II supernovae during the synthesis of potassium in the Galactic disk. 相似文献

Highly siderophile element evidence for early solar system processes in components from ordinary chondrites 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Separated magnetic and nonmagnetic components from the ordinary chondrites Dhajala (H3.8) and Ochansk (H4) were analyzed for their Re-Os isotopic compositions, as well as for the abundances of the highly siderophile elements (HSE) Re, Os, Ir, Ru, Pt and Pd. The Re-Os isotopic systematics of these components are used to constrain the timing of HSE fractionations, and assess the level of open-system behavior of these elements in each of the different components. The high precision, isotope dilution mass spectrometric analyses of the HSE are used to constrain the origins of, and possible relations between some of the diverse components present in these chondrites. The relative and absolute abundances of the HSE differ considerably among the components. Metal fractions have Re/Os that are factors of ∼2 (Dhajala) to ∼3 (Ochansk) higher than those of their nonmagnetic fractions. The isotopic data for both meteorites are consistent with the largest Re-Os fractionations occurring between metal and nonmagnetic components early in solar system history, although minor to moderate late stage, open-system behavior, and limited variations in Re/Os preclude a precise determination of the age for that fractionation. Open-system behavior is generally absent to minor in the metal fractions, and highly variable in nonmagnetic fractions. Re/Os ratios of nonmagnetic fractions deviate as much as 40% from a primordial isochron. Although some deviations are large for isochron applications, nearly all are negligible with respect to consideration of fractionation processes controlling the HSE.Metal from both meteorites contains about 90% of the total budget of HSE. Metal in Ochansk has ∼2 to 10 times the abundances of the bulk meteorite, while metal from the matrix of Dhajala has ∼2 to 4 times the abundances of the bulk. Fine metal in both meteorites has higher abundances than coarse metal, as has been previously observed. Nonmagnetic components, consisting of chondrules and matrix from which metal was removed in the laboratory, have highly fractionated HSE, characterized by much lower Re/Os than the bulk meteorites, as well as large relative depletions in Pd. The abundances of Re, Os, Ir, Ru and Pt in the nonmagnetic fractions are 14-120 ng/g, much higher than would be expected if they had equilibrated with the metal phases present (150-16,000 ng/g). Collectively, the data are consistent with the HSE budget in ordinary chondrites being dominated by two HSE-bearing carrier phases with distinct compositions. These phases formed separately, and never subsequently equilibrated. Metal components incorporated a HSE carrier that formed at high through moderate temperatures and relatively high pressures, such that the relatively volatile Pd behaved coherently with the more refractory HSE. Nonmagnetic fractions from both chondrules and matrix have HSE compositions that likely require at least two processes that fractionated the HSE. Depletions in Pd are consistent with the presence of HSE carriers that formed as either highly refractory condensates, or residues of high degrees of metal melting. Depletions in Re may implicate a period of relatively high fO2 during which a volatile form of Re was separated from the other HSE. 相似文献

Samarium-neodymium isotopic analysis of the martian meteorite Dar al Gani 476 yields a crystallization age of 474 ± 11 Ma and an initial εNd143 value of +36.6 ± 0.8. Although the Rb-Sr isotopic system has been disturbed by terrestrial weathering, and therefore yields no age information, an initial 87Sr/86Sr ratio of 0.701249 ± 33 has been estimated using the Rb-Sr isotopic composition of the maskelynite mineral fraction and the Sm-Nd age. The Sr and Nd isotopic systematics of Dar al Gani 476, like those of the basaltic shergottite QUE94201, are consistent with derivation from a source region that was strongly depleted in incompatible elements early in the history of the solar system. Nevertheless, Dar al Gani 476 is derived from a source region that has a slightly greater incompatible enrichment than the QUE94201 source region. This is not consistent with the fact that the parental magma of Dar al Gani 476 is significantly more mafic than the parental magma of QUE94201, and underscores a decoupling between the major element and trace element-isotopic systematics observed in the martian meteorite suite.Combining the εNd142-εNd143 isotopic systematics of the martian meteorites yields a model age for planetary differentiation of 4.513+0.033−0.027 Ga. Using this age, the parent/daughter ratios of martian mantle sources are calculated assuming a two-stage evolutionary history. The calculated sources have very large ranges of parent/daughter ratios (87Rb/86Sr = 0.037-0.374; 147Sm/144Nd = 0.182-0.285; 176Lu/177Hf = 0.028-0.048). These ranges exceed the ranges estimated for terrestrial basalt source regions, but are very similar to those estimated for the sources of lunar mare basalts. In fact, the range of parent/daughter ratios calculated for the martian meteorite sources can be produced by mixing between end-members with compositions similar to lunar mare basalt sources. Two of the sources have compositions that are similar to olivine and pyroxene-rich mafic cumulates with variable proportions of a Rb-enriched phase, such as amphibole, whereas the third source has the composition of liquid trapped in the cumulate pile (i.e. similar to KREEP) after ∼99% crystallization. Correlation between the proportion of trapped liquid in the meteorite source regions and estimates of fO2, suggest that the KREEP-like component may be hydrous. The success of these models in reproducing the martian meteorite source compositions suggests that the variations in trace element and isotopic compositions observed in the martian meteorites primarily reflect melting of the crystallization products of an ancient magma ocean, and that assimilation of evolved crust by mantle derived magmas is not required. Furthermore, the decoupling of major element and trace element-isotopic systematics in the martian meteorite suite may reflect the fact that trace element and isotopic systematics are inherited from the magma source regions, whereas the major element abundances are limited by eutectic melting processes at the time of magma formation. Differences in major element abundances of parental magma, therefore, result primarily from fractional crystallization after leaving their source regions. 相似文献

We have used high-resolution spectra to study the giants 15 Ori and 22 ? Sex. The effective temperature T eff = 7060 K, gravity log g = 3.16, and microturbulence velocity ξ t = 3.5 km/s were determined for 15 Ori, with T eff = 7350 K and log g = 3.90 for 22 ? Sex (the microturbulence velocity for 22 ? Sex was assumed to be ξ t = 2.7 km/s). We estimated the abundances of C, N, O, Na, Si, Ca, Fe, and Ba (N and Ba, for 15 Ori only). The abundances of carbon, iron, and oxygen in 22 ? Sex are higher than the solar values by +0.31 dex, +0.33 dex, and +0.18 dex, respectively, while the calcium abundance is ?0.19 dex below the solar level. For 15 Ori, we find a slight carbon excess (+0.19 dex), a slight nitrogen deficiency (?0.13 dex), and a considerable deficiency of silicon (?0.42 dex). The abundances of the remaining elements in both stars are near-solar. We find no substantial differences between the abundances derived for 15 Ori and 22 ? Sex and the results of earlier studies of giants by both ourselves and Erspamer and North. A comparison of the atmospheric elemental abundances of giants and δ Scuti stars indicates that the abundances of some lighter elements (oxygen, sodium, silicon, and possibly nitrogen) are somewhat lower for δ Scuti stars than for A-F giants. We determined the masses, radii, luminosities, and ages for 15 Ori and 22 ? Sex. 相似文献

We carried out accurate ( $\sigma _{obs} \approx 0\mathop .\limits^m 003$ ) W BV R photoelectric photometry of RR Lyn and obtained light curves of this eclipsing system. Our analysis of the light curves using an iterative differential-correction method yields a self-consistent system of geometrical and physical characteristics of the two components of the system and their evolutionary states. The system's age is estimated to be t=(1.08±0.15)×109 yr. Observations in all filters are fitted satisfactorily by the same geometry (r 1,2, i, e, and ω). An analysisof blanketing effects in the W, B, V, and R bands indicates that the atmospheric chemical compositions of both components of the system are peculiar: the primary shows an excess ([Fe/H]I=0.31±0.08) and the secondary a deficit ([Fe/H]II=?0.24±0.06) of heavy elements. This is in qualitative and quantitative agreement with the results of an earlier spectroscopic study of RR Lyn by Lyubimkov and Rachkovskaya (1995). The derived physical characteristics of RR Lyn provide evidence that the metallicity effects are probably restricted to the stellar surface layers, while their interiors have normal chemical abundances. 相似文献
