摘要：

The dispersion and mean trends of r-process abundances in metal-poor stars are discussed based on a model of diverse supernova sources for the r-process. This model is unique in that its key parameters are inferred from solar system data independent of stellar observations at low metallicities. It is shown that this model provides a good explanation for the observed dispersion and mean trend of Eu abundances over -3 less than or similar to [Fe/H] less than or similar to -1. It is also shown that this model provides a means to discuss r-abundances in general. For example, the Ag abundance in any metal-poor star with observed Eu and Fe abundances can be calculated from the model. This approach is demonstrated with success for two stars and can be further tested by future Ag data. The dispersion and mean trend of Ag abundances in metal-poor stars are also calculated for comparison with future observations.
