Isochrone and chemical ages of stars in the old open cluster M67

Ahlvind, Julia January 2021 (has links)
The open cluster Messier 67 is known to have chemical composition, metallicity and age (~ 4 Gyr) close to the Sun. Therefore, it is advantageous for stellar physical studies and of stellar evolution, in particular for solar like stars within the cluster. This work considers three such stars, the formerly studied solar twin M67-1194 and two more recently suggested solar twins M67-1787 & 2018. Most solar twins show a ratio of volatile to refractory elements that systematically depart from the Sun’s. Our targets do not follow this trend as closely. Their composition is closer to the Sun and they are, therefore, exquisite targets for studies of stellar evolution within the cluster. However, their solar likeness also provides studies regarding the origin and evolution of the Solar system. The stellar ages of the solar twins are established through a chemical clock [Y/Mg] and via stellar isochrones from BaSTI. The latter age assessment of the solar twins is supplemented with the analysis of two subgiant stars M67-1442 & 1844. We approach the isochrone-based method using spectroscopically, astrometrically and photometrically derived parameters. The different ages of the stars and methods thus estimate the age of the cluster itself. The chemical ages of the stars suggest a cluster age of 4.56  ±0.44 Gyr and the isochrone-based estimates suggests a cluster age within the range 3.30-5.51 Gyr. Our results thus affirm and imply a near solar age of the cluster.

Essa lei rege grandezas naturalmente aleatórias e tem sido utilizada por várias áreas como forma de selecionar e validar diversos tipos de dados. Em nosso trabalho tivemos como primeiro objetivo propor o uso de um método substituto ao qui-quadrado, sendo este atualmente o método comumente utilizado pela literatura para verificação da conformidade da Lei de Newcomb-Benford. Fizemos isso pois em uma massa de dados com uma grande quantidade de amostras o método qui-quadrado tende a sofrer de um problema estatístico conhecido por excesso de poder, gerando assim resultados do tipo falso negativo na estatística. Dessa forma propomos a substituição do método qui-quadrado pelo método de Kolmogorov-Smirnov baseado na Função de Distribuição Empírica para análise da conformidade global, pois esse método é mais robusto não sofrendo do excesso de poder e também é mais fiel à definição formal da Lei de Benford, já que o mesmo trabalha considerando as mantissas ao invés de apenas considerar dígitos isolados. Também propomos investigar um intervalo de confiança para o Kolmogorov-Smirnov baseando-nos em um qui-quadrado que não sofre de excesso de poder por se utilizar o Bootstraping. Em dois artigos publicados recentemente, dados de exoplanetas foram analisados e algumas grandezas foram declaradas como conformes à Lei de Benford. Com base nisso eles sugerem que o conhecimento dessa conformidade possa ser usado para uma análise na lista de objetos candidatos, o que poderá ajudar no futuro na identificação de novos exoplanetas nesta lista. Sendo assim, um outro objetivo de nosso trabalho foi explorar diversos bancos e catálogos de dados astronômicos em busca de grandezas, cuja a conformidade à lei do dígito significativo ainda não seja conhecida a fim de propor aplicações práticas para a área das ciências astronômicas. / The Newcomb-Benford law, also known as the most significant digit law, was described for the first time by astronomer and mathematician Simon Newcomb. This law was just statistically grounded after 57 years after the Newcomb’s discovery. This law governing naturally random greatness and, has been used by many knowledge areas to validate several kind of data. In this work, the first goal is propose a substitute of qui-square method. The qui-square method is the currently method used in the literature to verify the Newcomb-Benford Law’s conformity. It’s necessary because in a greatness with a big quantity of samples, the qui-square method can has false negatives results. This problem is named Excess of Power. Because that, we proposed to use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method based in Empirical Distribution Function (EDF) to global conformity analysis. Because this method is more robust and not suffering of the Excess of Power problem. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov method also more faithful to the formal definition of Benford’s Law since the method working considering the mantissas instead of single digits. We also propose to invetigate a confidence interval for the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method based on a qui-square with Bootstrapping strategy which doesn’t suffer of Excess of Power problem. Recently, two papers were published. I this papaers exoplanets data were analysed and some greatness were declared conform to a Newcomb-Benford distribution. Because that, the authors suggest that knowledge of this conformity can be used for help in future to indentify new exoplanets in the candidates list. Therefore, another goal of this work is explorer a several astronomicals catalogs and database looking for greatness which conformity of Benford’s law is not known yet. And after that , the authors suggested practical aplications for astronomical sciences area.
