目标。用高分辨率光谱测定了19颗金属贫乏恒星的锂丰度。讨论了锂高原上恒星的丰度。方法。所有丰度结果均来自NLTE统计平衡计算和光谱合成方法。结果。与先前的分析一致,发现氢碰撞引起的激发和去激发在锂线形成过程中可以忽略不计,而电荷转移反应是热化的重要来源。然而,由此产生的NLTE对金属贫星的锂丰度测定的影响可以忽略不计(<0.06指数)。结论。NLTE分析确定的锂平台上恒星的平均锂丰度为A(Li) ~ 2.26,而当包括电荷转移反应时,它的指数为2.21。后者的结果增强了观测到的锂丰度与WMAP宇宙微波背景分析推断的原始锂丰度之间的差异。这种差异可以用金属扩散来解释。
Aims. Lithium abundances for 19 metal-poor stars are determined using high-resolution spectroscopy. The abundances of stars on the lithium plateau are discussed. Methods. All abundance results are derived from NLTE statistical equilibrium calculations and spectrum synthesis methods. Results. In agreement with previous analyses it is found that excitation and de-excitation due to hydrogen collisions are negligible for the lithium line formation process, while charge transfer reactions are an important source of thermalization. However, the resulting NLTE effects on the determination of lithium abundances for metal-poor stars are negligible (<0.06 dex). Conclusions. The mean lithium abundance for stars on the lithium plateau determined from NLTE analyses is A(Li) ∼ 2.26, while it is 2.21 dex when charge transfer reactions are included. The latter result enhances the discrepancy between the observed lithium abundances and the primordial lithium abundance as inferred by the WMAP analysis of the cosmic microwave background. This discrepancy may be explained by metal diffusion.
