从行星状星云模型导出的白矮星质量

White dwarf masses derived from planetary nebulae modelling

K. Gesicki, A. A. Zijlstra

摘要:

我们比较了行星状星云(CSPN)和它们的后代白矮星(WD)中心恒星的质量分布。我们使用动力学方法测量质量的不确定性为0.02 M $_\odot$。CSPN质量分布在$0.61 \rm M_\odot$处达到峰值。WD分布在较低质量($0.58 \rm M_\odot$)处达到峰值,并显示出更宽的质量范围。一些差异可以解释,如果早期后AGB的演变比Blöcker轨道预测的更快。由于质量太低,30%至50%的WD可能会避免PN阶段。然而,不能完全解决的差异和WD质量分布可能已经扩大了观测或模型的不确定性。

英文摘要:

We compare the mass distribution of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN) with those of their progeny, white dwarfs (WD). We use a dynamical method to measure masses with an uncertainty of 0.02 M$_\odot$. The CSPN mass distribution is sharply peaked at $0.61 \rm M_\odot$. The WD distribution peaks at lower masses ($0.58 \rm M_\odot$) and shows a much broader range of masses. Some of the difference can be explained if the early post-AGB evolution is faster than predicted by the Blöcker tracks. Between 30 and 50 per cent of WD may avoid the PN phase because of too low mass. However, the discrepancy cannot be fully resolved and WD mass distributions may have been broadened by observational or model uncertainties.
