We study the influence of convection and non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) on the formation of spectral lines of different chemical elements in the atmospheres of different metallicity main sequence turn-off (MSTO) and red giant branch (RGB) stars. The influence of convection is assessed by analyzing differences in the elemental abundances obtained by using 3D hydrodynamical and 1D hydrostatic stellar model atmospheres of MSTO and RGB stars, within the framework of spectral line formation under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). We find that the influence of convection on the formation of spectral lines of C, O, Si, Ti, Fe, and Ni is largest at lowest metallicities, both in the atmospheres of TO and RGB stars: the differences in the abundaces predicted by the 3D hydrodynamical and 1D hydrostatic stellar model atmospheres may reach to –1.1 and –0.8 dex in the TO and RGB stars, respectively. The analysis of 3D hydrodynamical and NLTE effects in the atmospheres of stars that belong to Galactic globular clusters 47 Tuc and NGC 6752 shows that NLTE effects have significantly larger impact on the formation of O and Na spectral lines than the effects related to convection do. Finally, we determine 3D + NLTE abundances of Li, O, Na, and Ba in the atmospheres of TO and RGB in Galactic globular clusters 47 Tuc and NGC 6752, investigate the connections between the abundances of different chemical species, and discuss the possible chemical evolution scenarios of Galactic globular clusters. |
