Nucleosynthetic yields and production rates of helium and heavy elements are derived using new initial mass functions which
take into account the recent revisions in O star counts and the stellar models of Maeder (1981a, b) which incorporate the
effects of massloss on evolution. The current production rates are significantly higher than the earlier results due to Chiosi
& Caimmi (1979) and Chiosi (1979), and a near-uniform birthrate operating over the history of the galactic disc explains the
currently observed abundances. However, the yields are incompatibly high, and to obtain agreement it is necessary to assume
that stars above a certain mass do not explode but proceed to total collapse. Further confirmation of this idea comes from
the consideration of the specific yields and production rates of oxygen, carbon and iron and the constraints imposed by the
observational enrichment history in the disc as discussed by Twarog & Wheeler (1982). Substantial amounts of4He and14C, amongst the primary synthesis species, are contributed by the intermediate mass stars in their wind phases. If substantial
numbers of them exploded as Type I SN, their contribution to the yields of12C and56Fe would be far in excess of the requirements of galactic nucleosynthesis. Either efficient massloss precludes such catastrophic
ends for these stars, or the current stellar models are sufficiently in error to leave room for substantial revisions in the
specific yields. The proposed upward revision of the12C (α,γ)16O rate may produce the necessary changes in stellar yields to provide a solution to this problem. Stars that produce most
of the metals in the Galaxy are the same ones that contribute most to the observed supernova rate. 相似文献

An off-centre detonation propagating near the interface between a C–O core and a He envelope in a Type Ia supernova explosion is modelled as a steady two-dimensional similarity solution at a plane interface. We assume that in both regions the energy release occurs in an infinitely thin detonation, which produces material in nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) in He and in nuclear statistical quasi-equilibrium in C–O. An α-network is then used to determine the effect of the associated rarefaction wave in the C–O on the final abundance of intermediate elements. We find that, although there is a significant effect, the rarefaction is not strong enough to quench the reactions and prevent the C–O from burning to NSE. 相似文献

We employ spectra of resolution 20–35000 of seven SC stars, four S stars, two Ba stars and two K–M stars to derive abundances of a variety of elements from Sr to Eu relative to iron. Special attention is paid to Rb and Tc, and to the ratio of the heavy s-process species to the light s-process elements. Abundances are derived in LTE, both by using model atmospheres in which the carbon and oxygen abundances are nearly equal and by using curves of growth. Spectrum synthesis is used for critical lines such as the 5924-Å line of Tc and the 7800-Å line of Rb. For most of the heavy-element stars the enhancement of the s-process elements is about a factor of 10. The ratio of the heavy to light s-process species is not far from solar, except for RR Her for which the same ratio is +0.45 dex. For Tc the blending by other lines is severe. While we have probably detected the 5924-Å line, we can only present abundances in the less-than-or-equal-to category. For Rb, whose abundance is sensitive to the 85 Rb/87 Rb ratio and hence to the neutron density during s-process production, we find a considerable range of abundances, indicating a neutron density from 106 to ≳108 cm−3 for the SC stars. For the four S stars the range is from 107 to ≳108 cm−3 . Recent calculations by Gallino et al. show that neutron densities near 107 cm−3 favour the 13 C source for neutrons, while densities greater than 108 cm−3 may be associated with neutrons from the 22 Ne source. 相似文献

In an endeavour to resolve reported discrepancies in the value of the branching ratio of176Lu at astrophysical energies, a new determineation of the175Lu (nγ)176mLu capture cross section has been measured as 958 ± 58 mb. This gives a value of the branching ratio of 0.21 ±0.05. This result
indicates that some reequilibration of the ground and isomeric states of176Lu occurs in stellar environments undergoing s-process nucleosynthesis, and confirms that176Lu is not a reliable cosmochronometer. However the very existence of176Lu in the solar system implies that the ground state of176Lu was not completely depopulated, and provides the possibility of using this nuclide as a sensitive thermometer for stellar
processes. 相似文献

New, precise abundance data for a large number of elements in a growing sample of extremely metal-poor stars are accumulating
from the new 8-m telescopes. Combined with theoretical models, these results advance our understanding of the first generations
of stars, whose nucleosynthesis products are fossilised in the oldest stars we see today and thus give clues to the earliest
phases of evolution in the Galaxy. In particular, the heaviest elements give us insight into the different neutron capture
mechanisms and the stellar sites where such elements could be produced. They also afford an independent way to determine the
age of the Galaxy, by radioactive chronology.

It is argued that the iron nucleosynthesis rate in the universe due to SNI outbursts is dependent on the mass function of
star formation. Since the mass function depends on the chemical composition and since the masses of SNI precursors have upper
limits, the iron nucleosynthesis rate was low at an earlier evolutionary epoch of the universe when mainly massive stars were
formed. The iron nucleosynthesis rate should reach a maximum near z ∼ 0.5. At such or similar value of z the well-known ‘step’
in the cosmic γ-ray background spectrum may be explained by the presence of γ-gray quanta accompanying the radioactive56Co →56Fe decay. An argument is presented against the identification of the hidden mass of the universe with black-hole remnants
of ‘type III’ stars. 相似文献
