摘要

We present abundances of Fe, Na, and O for 1409 red giant stars in 15galactic globular clusters (GCs), derived from the homogeneous analysis ofhigh-resolution FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectra. Combining the present data with results from our FLAMES/UVES spectra and from previous studies within the project, we obtained a total sample of 1958 stars in 19clusters,the largest and most homogeneous database of this kind to date. The programme clusters cover a range in metallicity from [Fe/H] =-2.4dex to [Fe/H] =-0.4dex, with a wide variety of global parameters (morphology of the horizontal branch, mass, concentration, etc.). For all clusters we find the Na-O anticorrelation, the classical signature of the operation of proton-capture reactions in H-burning at high temperature in a previous generation of more massive stars that are now extinct. Using quantitative criteria (from the morphology and extension of the Na-O anticorrelation), we can define three different components of the stellar population in GCs. We separate a primordialcomponent(P) of first-generation stars, and two components of second-generation stars, that we name intermediate(I) and extreme(E) populations from their different chemical composition. The P component is present in all clusters, and its fraction is almost constant at about one third. The Icomponent represents the bulk of the cluster population. On the other hand, Ecomponent is not present in all clusters, and it is more conspicuous in some (but not in all) of the most massive clusters. We discuss the fractions and spatial distributions of these components in our sample and in two additional clusters (M3=NGC5272 and M13=NGC6205) with large sets of stars analysed in the literature. We also find that the slope of the anti-correlation (defined by the minimumO and maximum Naabundances) changes from cluster-to-cluster, a change that is represented well by a bilinear relation on cluster metallicity and luminosity. This second dependence suggests a correlation between average mass of polluters and cluster mass. Key words: stars: abundances - stars: atmospheres -stars: populationII - globular clusters: general
