Download or read book Deep Mixing in Globular cluster Red Giants written by P. A. Denissenkov and published by Cambridge Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents and reviews the results of studies on subjects closely related to the problems of abundance anomalies in globular clusters and covers in particular the problem of deep mixing in globular-cluster red giants and describes a diffusion model and a mechanism for extra mixing in red giants. The author traces the development of scenarios to explain the origin of star-to star variations in elemental abundances in globular clusters: primordial nucleosynthesis and mixing and the background to the proposal of a combined scenario and a model for the chemical evolution of globular clusters. This review provides a useful reference text for graduates and researchers in astrophysics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides new insights into the seemingly anomalous ubiquity of lithium-rich red giant stars. The theory of stellar evolution, one of the most successful models of modern astrophysics, predicts that red giant stars should display negligible levels of lithium (Li) on their surfaces. However, Li-rich giants, defined as those showing more than three times the Li content of the Sun, are found everywhere astronomers look in apparent defiance of established theory. The author addresses this problem, analyzing the different possible explanations for such an anomaly, which include interaction with a binary companion, the production of Li in the interior of the star with its subsequent transport to stellar exteriors, and the stellar interaction with planets. The author focuses on this last possibility, where the Li enrichment may be due to the ingestion of planets or brown dwarfs as the stars in question grew in size while becoming giants. She shows that this process is indeed able to explain an important fraction of giants with Li levels above the three times solar threshold, but that some other mechanism is needed to explain the remaining fraction. While this is an important discovery in its own right, the result that makes this thesis groundbreaking is its demonstration that the threshold between Li-normal and Li-rich is mass dependent rather than a fixed proportion of the Sun’s content. This corrects a fundamental misapprehension of the phenomenon and opens up a new framework in which to understand and solve the problem. Finally, the author presents interesting observational applications and samples with which to test this new approach to the problem of Li enrichment in giants.

Download or read book Not So Simple Stellar Populations in Star Clusters written by Chengyuan Li and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on understanding the stellar populations of massive star clusters and aims to investigate the origin, evolution and properties of binary systems, their collision products, as well as the general characteristics (e.g. ages, metal content) of stellar population(s) in star clusters. It introduces the basic background knowledge of various stellar populations in star clusters as well as their formation, interaction and evolution and offers high impact observational results on our understanding of the formation and evolution mode of star clusters. Based on these discoveries, this book proposes a series of future projects that can shed light on these topics. The research introduced in this book reveals key features of star clusters formation and by extension how all stars formed in our universe.

Download or read book Star Clusters written by B.W. Carney and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Star clusters are at the heart of astronomy, being key objects for our understanding of stellar evolution and galactic structure. Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and other modern equipment have revealed fascinating new facts about these galactic building blocks. This book provides two comprehensive and up-to-date, pedagogically designed reviews on star clusters by two well-known experts in the field. Bruce Carney presents our current knowledge of the relative and absolute ages of globular clusters and the chemical history of our Galaxy. Bill Harris addresses globular clusters in external galaxies and their use as tracers of galaxy formation and cosmic distance indicators. The book is written for graduate students as well as professionals in astronomy and astrophysics.
