Red giants, spectroscopy and asteroseismology

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Asteroseismology, a powerful approach for obtaining internal structure and stellar properties, requires surface temperature and chemical composition information to determine mass and age.

Description

High-resolution spectroscopy is a valuable technique for precise stellar parameters (including surface temperature) and for an analysis of the chemical composition. We combine spectroscopic parameters with asteroseismology to test stellar models.

Using high-resolution optical and near-IR spectra from GIARPS at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, we conducted a detailed spectroscopic analysis of 16 stars that were photometrically selected to be on the red giant and red clump branch. Stellar parameters and chemical abundances for light elements (Li, C, N, and F), Fe peak, {alpha} and n-capture elements were derived using a combination of equivalent widths and spectral synthesis techniques based on atomic and molecular features.

Ages were determined through asteroseismic scaling relations and were compared with ages based on chemical clocks, Y/Mg and C/N.The spectroscopic parameters confirmed that the stars are part of the red giant branch and red clump. Two objects, HD 22045 and HD 24680, exhibit relatively high Li abundances, and HD 24680 might be a Li-rich giant resulting from mass transfer with an intermediate-mass companion that already underwent its asymptotic giant branch phase.

The stellar parameters derived from scaling different sets of relations were consistent with each other. The values based on asteroseismology for the ages agree excellently with those derived from theoretical evolutionary tracks, but they disagree with ages derived from the chemical clocks Y/Mg and C/N.
