Titolo: | The potassium abundance in the globular clusters NGC 104, NGC 6752 and NGC 6809 | Autori: | Mucciarelli, A. Merle, T. BELLAZZINI, Michele |
Data pubblicazione: | 2017 | Rivista: | ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS | Numero: | 600 | Da pagina:: | A104 | Abstract: | We derived potassium abundances in red-giant-branch stars in the Galactic globular clusters NGC 104 (144 stars), NGC 6752 (134 stars), and NGC 6809 (151 stars) using high-resolution spectra collected with FLAMES at the ESO - Very Large Telescope. In the samples we consider, we do not find significant intrinsic spreads in [K/Fe], which confirms the previous findings, but which is at variance with the cases of the massive clusters NGC 2419 and NGC 2808. Additionally, marginally significant [K/Fe]-[O/Fe] anti-correlations are found in NGC 104 and NGC 6809, and [K/Fe]-[Na/Fe] correlations are found in NGC 104 and NGC 6752. No evidence of [K/Fe]-[Mg/Fe] anti-correlation are found. The results of our analysis are consistent with a scenario in which the process leading to the multi-populations in globular clusters also implies enrichment in the K abundance, the amplitude of the associated [K/Fe] enhancement becoming measurable only in stars showing the most extreme effects of O and Mg depletion. Stars enhanced in [K/Fe] have so far only been found in clusters harbouring some Mg-poor stars, while the other globulars, without a Mg-poor sub-population, show small or null [K/Fe] spreads. <P />Full Table 1 is only available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr</A> (<A href="http://130.79.128.5">http://130.79.128.5</A>) or via <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/600/A104">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/600/A104</A> | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26849 | URL: | https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/abs/2017/04/aa30410-17/aa30410-17.html | ISSN: | 0004-6361 | DOI: | 10.1051/0004-6361/201730410 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017A&A...600A.104M | Fulltext: | open |
