Oxygen line formation in 3D hydrodynamical model atmospheres

چکیده

The formation of [O i], O i and OH lines in metal-poor stars has been studied by means of 3D hydrodynamical model atmospheres. For O i detailed 3D non-LTE calculations have been performed. While the influence of 3D model atmospheres is minor for [O i] and O i lines, the very low temperatures encountered at low metallicities have a drastic impact on OH. As a result, the derived O abundances are found to be systematically overestimated in 1D analyses, casting doubts on the recent claims for a monotonic increase in [O/Fe] towards lower metallicities. 1

On OH line formation and oxygen abundances in metal-poor stars

The formation of the UV OH spectral lines has been investigated for a range of stellar parameters in the light of 3D hydrodynamical model atmospheres. The low atmospheric temperatures encountered at low metallicities compared with the radiative equilibrium values enforced in classical 1D hydrostatic model atmospheres have a profound impact on the OH line strengths. As a consequence, the derived...

Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamical Simulations of Surface Convection in Red Giant Stars Impact on spectral line formation and abundance analysis

Aims. We investigate the impact of realistic three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamical model atmospheres of red giant stars at different metallicities on the formation of spectral lines of a number of ions and molecules. Methods. We carry out realistic, ab initio, 3D, hydrodynamical simulations of surface convection at the surface of red giant stars with varying effective temperatures and metallici...

Three-dimensional models of metal-poor stars

I present here the main results of recent realistic, 3D, hydrodynamical simulations of convection at the surface of metal-poor red giant stars. I discuss the application of these convection simulations as time-dependent, 3D, hydrodynamical model atmospheres to spectral line formation calculations and abundance analyses. The impact of 3D models on derived elemental abundances is investigated by ...

We present a detailed analysis of the carbon and nitrogen abundances of two dwarf carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars: SDSS J1349-0229 and SDSS J0912+0216. We also report the oxygen abundance of SDSS J1349-0229. These stars are metal-poor, with [Fe/H] < –2.5, and were selected from our ongoing survey of extremely metal-poor dwarf candidates from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The carb...

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 −...
