恒星质量黑洞对大质量星团结构演化的影响

The effect of stellar-mass black holes on the structural evolution of massive star clusters

A. D. Mackey, M. I. Wilkinson, M. B. Davies, G. F. Gilmore

摘要:

我们提出了现实的N-体建模的大规模星团的麦哲伦星云,旨在调查在这些系统中观察到的半径年龄趋势的动力学起源的结果。我们发现,恒星质量的黑洞,形成于超新星爆炸的最大质量的星团恒星,可以构成一个动态的重要人口。如果有相当数量的黑洞被保留下来(这里我们假设完全保留),这些物体会迅速形成一个致密的核心,在那里相互作用是常见的,导致黑洞散射到星系团晕中,并将黑洞从星系团中弹射出来。这两个过程加热了恒星成分,导致了与观测结果相匹配的长期核心膨胀。在早期的麦哲伦星系团中也观察到了显著的核心演化。我们发现,这并不是由于黑洞的作用,但可以再现的质量损失的影响,由于快速恒星演化在一个原始的质量分离的集群。

英文摘要:

We present the results of realistic N-body modelling of massive star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds, aimed at investigating a dynamical origin for the radius-age trend observed in these systems. We find that stellar-mass black holes, formed in the supernova explosions of the most massive cluster stars, can constitute a dynamically important population. If a significant number of black holes are retained (here we assume complete retention), these objects rapidly form a dense core where interactions are common, resulting in the scattering of black holes into the cluster halo, and the ejection of black holes from the cluster. These two processes heat the stellar component, resulting in prolonged core expansion of a magnitude matching the observations. Significant core evolution is also observed in Magellanic Cloud clusters at early times. We find that this does not result from the action of black holes, but can be reproduced by the effects of mass-loss due to rapid stellar evolution in a primordially mass segregated cluster.
