Abstract

The most characteristic features of H-R diagrams of blobular clusters are summarized with particular regard to the position and the extension of the horizontal branch. A comparison of observations with theory in the two cases of evolution with and without mass loss is then shortly given.

A preliminary approach to the evolution of models with large mass fractions (q 0) in the helium cores is presented. Inhomogeneous equilibrium models with double energy sources have been computed in a range of values ofq 0 and of the total mass referring to possible horizontal-branch stars.

Содержание

В работе указаны характерныы особенности диаграммы герцпрунга-рессела для шаровых скоплений. При этом уделено особое внимание положксеию и протяжению горизонтальной ветви. Приведено сравнение данных наблюдений со значениами параметров полученных из расчета тволюционных путей с потерей и без потера массы.

Приведён также анализ моделей с большим значенмем отношенийq 0 массы гелиевото ядра к обшей массе. Равновесные моделы с двойным лсточнлком энергии расснитанн для значенийq 0 и общей массы псдхдлящих для звёзд горизонтальнои ветви.

Riassunto

Sono indicate le principali caratteristiche dei diagrammi H-R degli ammassi globulari con particolare riferimento alla posizione ed alla estensione del ramo orizzontale. Sono esaminate relazioni tra la teoria ed i parametri indicati nei due casi di evoluzione con e senza perdita di massa.

E' presentata infine una analisi di modelli con un'alta frazione di massa nel nucleo di elio (q 0). I modelli di equilibrio, non omogenei ed a doppia sorgente di energia, sono stati calcolati in un intervallo di valori diq 0 e della massa totale che sono in relazione alla regione delle stelle del ramo orizzontale.
