关于富C AGB星演化与质量损失的关系

On the Connection between Mass Loss and Evolution of C-rich AGB stars

Lars Mattsson, Susanne Hoefner, Rurik Wahlin, Falk Herwig

摘要:

碳AGB星的质量损失性质目前还没有得到很好的限制。文献中有各种不同参数化的经验或理论公式,但它们之间的一致性很差。这些简单的质量损失公式仍然被用于许多恒星演化模型中,而没有考虑它们在各种情况下的适用性。我们在这里介绍一个正在进行的项目,旨在更好地描述质量损失,这可能会被用来改善恒星演化模型-特别是在TP-AGB阶段的演化。作为第一步,我们考虑了He壳闪光过程中的质量损失演化。利用从恒星演化轨迹中提取的恒星参数,采用包含尘埃形成的详细的频率依赖辐射流体动力学模型,计算了大气层和风加速区的时间演化。基于这些结果,我们还模拟了随后的长期动力学演化的拱星信封(CSE),包括形成一个分离的外壳。我们发现,现有的简单的质量损失处方意味着不同的质量损失的演变与我们的模型相比。该项目的第二步涉及质量损失对基本恒星参数的依赖性。目前,我们正在计算一个大型网格的风模型,为富C AGB星。初步结果表明,简单的参数化是很难获得在某些地区的参数空间考虑,由于强烈的非线性风机制。

英文摘要:

The mass loss properties of carbon AGB stars are not very well constrained at present. A variety of empirical or theoretical formulae with different parameterisations are available in the literature and the agreement between them is anything but good. These simple mass loss prescriptions are nontheless used in many models of stellar evolution without much consideration of their applicability in various cases. We present here an on-going project aiming at a better description of the mass loss, that could be used to improve stellar evolution models -- especially the evolution during the TP-AGB phase. As a first step, we have considered the mass loss evolution during a He-shell flash. Using stellar parameters sampled from a stellar evolutionary track, we have computed the time evolution of the atmospheric layers and wind acceleration region during a flash event with detailed frequency-dependent radiation-hydrodynamical models including dust formation. Based on these results, we have also simulated the subsequent long-term dynamical evolution of the circumstellar envelope (CSE), including the formation of a detached shell. We find that existing simple mass loss prescriptions imply different mass loss evolutions compared with our model. The second step of the project deals with the dependence of mass loss on the basic stellar parameters. At the moment we are computing a large grid of wind models for C-rich AGB stars. Preliminary results show that simple parameterisations are difficult to obtain in certain regions of the parameter space considered, due to strong non-linearities in the wind mechanism.
