The cosmological 7Li problem consists in explaining why the primordial Li abundance, as predicted by the standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis theory with constraints from WMAP and Planck, is a factor of 3 larger than the Li abundance measured in the stars of the Spite plateau defined by old, warm dwarf stars of the Milky Way halo. Several explanations have been proposed to explain this difference, including various Li depletion processes as well as non-standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis, but the main question remains unanswered. In this paper, we present detailed chemical evolution models for dwarf spheroidal and ultra faint galaxies, compute the galactic evolution of 7Li abundance in these objects, and compare it with observations of similar objects. In our models, Li is mainly produced by novae and cosmic rays, and to a minor extent, by low and intermediate mass stars. We adopt the yield combination that best fits the Li abundances in the Milky Way stars. It is evident that the observations of dwarf objects define a Spite plateau, identical to that observed in the Milky Way, thus suggesting that the Spite plateau could be a universal feature and its meaning should be discussed. The predictions of our models for dwarf galaxies are obtained by assuming as Li primordial abundance either the one detected in the atmospheres of the oldest halo stars (Spite plateau; A(Li) ∼ 2.2 dex), or the one from cosmological observations (WMAP; A(Li) ∼ 2.66 dex). Finally, we discuss the implications of the universality of the Spite plateau results.

锂的演变:普遍的怨恨高原的影响

宇宙学 7Li 问题在于解释为什么原始 Li 丰度,正如标准大爆炸核合成理论所预测的那样,受到 WMAP 和普朗克的约束,比旧定义的 Site 高原恒星中测量的 Li 丰度大 3 倍。 ,银河系光晕的暖矮星。已经提出了几种解释来解释这种差异,包括各种锂耗尽过程以及非标准的大爆炸核合成,但主要问题仍未得到解答。在本文中,我们提出了矮球状星系和超微弱星系的详细化学演化模型,计算了这些天体中 7Li 丰度的星系演化,并将其与类似天体的观测结果进行了比较。在我们的模型中,锂主要由新星和宇宙射线产生,在较小程度上,由低质量和中等质量的恒星。我们采用最适合银河系恒星中锂丰度的产量组合。很明显,对矮天体的观测定义了一个与银河系中观测到的相同的 Spite 高原,因此表明 Spite 高原可能是一个普遍的特征,应该讨论它的含义。我们的矮星系模型的预测是通过假设在最古老的晕星(恶毒高原;A(Li)~2.2 dex)的大气中检测到的 Li 原始丰度,或者来自宇宙学观测(WMAP; A(Li) ∼ 2.66 dex)。最后,我们讨论了 Site 高原结果的普遍性的含义。很明显,对矮天体的观测定义了一个与银河系中观测到的相同的 Spite 高原,因此表明 Spite 高原可能是一个普遍的特征,应该讨论它的含义。我们的矮星系模型的预测是通过假设在最古老的晕星(恶毒高原;A(Li)~2.2 dex)的大气中检测到的 Li 原始丰度,或者来自宇宙学观测(WMAP; A(Li) ∼ 2.66 dex)。最后,我们讨论了 Site 高原结果的普遍性的含义。很明显,对矮天体的观测定义了一个与银河系中观测到的一样的斯皮特高原,因此表明斯皮特高原可能是一个普遍的特征,应该讨论它的含义。我们的矮星系模型的预测是通过假设在最古老的晕星(恶毒高原;A(Li) ∼ 2.2 dex)的大气中检测到的 Li 原始丰度,或者来自宇宙学观测(WMAP; A(Li) ∼ 2.66 dex)。最后,我们讨论了 Site 高原结果的普遍性的含义。我们的矮星系模型的预测是通过假设在最古老的晕星(恶毒高原;A(Li)~2.2 dex)的大气中检测到的 Li 原始丰度,或者来自宇宙学观测(WMAP; A(Li) ∼ 2.66 dex)。最后,我们讨论了 Site 高原结果的普遍性的含义。我们的矮星系模型的预测是通过假设在最古老的晕星(恶毒高原;A(Li)~2.2 dex)的大气中检测到的 Li 原始丰度,或者来自宇宙学观测(WMAP; A(Li) ∼ 2.66 dex)。最后,我们讨论了 Site 高原结果的普遍性的含义。
