快速旋转白矮星在吸积诱导坍缩后的磁驱动爆炸

Magnetically-driven explosions of rapidly-rotating white dwarfs following Accretion-Induced Collapse

Luc Dessart, Adam Burrows, Eli Livne, Christian Ott

摘要:

采用二维多群限流扩散磁流体力学(MHD)方法模拟了快速旋转白矮星的吸积诱导坍缩(AIC)。我们专注于一个毫秒周期的质子中子星形成后的MHD过程的动力学作用。我们发现,包括磁场和应力可以导致一个强大的爆炸与几个贝特的能量,而不是一个弱的最多0.1贝特,与相关的喷出物质量约0.1 Msun,而不是几个0.001 Msun。核心在反弹后的500毫秒内旋转下降约30%,从核心提取的旋转能量被引导到产生强磁驱动风的磁能,而不是弱中微子驱动风。当这种风盛行时,喷出物的重子负载使它不能成为相对论性的。这表明,在早期的原中子星阶段,伽马射线暴预计不会从这样的AIC中出现,除非在不太可能的情况下,大质量的白矮星有足够的质量导致黑洞形成。此外,我们预测可以忽略不计的56 Ni生产(这应该会导致光学黑暗,绝热冷却爆炸)和0.1 Msun的电子分数为0.1-0.2的材料喷射。富中子核的这种污染对这种AIC的可能速率施加了强有力的限制。此外,由于没有“后退”,这种高度磁化的毫秒周期质子中子星可能后来成为磁星,磁驱动风可能后来转变为坡印廷通量主导的相对论风,最终在宇宙学距离上可检测到GRB。然而,AIC的低预期事件发生率将限制它们充其量是GRB和/或磁星祖先的一个小子集。

英文摘要:

We present 2D multi-group flux-limited diffusion magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of the Accretion-Induced Collapse (AIC) of a rapidly-rotating white dwarf. We focus on the dynamical role of MHD processes after the formation of a millisecond-period protoneutron star. We find that including magnetic fields and stresses can lead to a powerful explosion with an energy of a few Bethe, rather than a weak one of at most 0.1 Bethe, with an associated ejecta mass of ~0.1Msun, instead of a few 0.001Msun. The core is spun down by ~30% within 500ms after bounce, and the rotational energy extracted from the core is channeled into magnetic energy that generates a strong magnetically-driven wind, rather than a weak neutrino-driven wind. Baryon loading of the ejecta, while this wind prevails, precludes it from becoming relativistic. This suggests that a GRB is not expected to emerge from such AICs during the early protoneutron star phase, except in the unlikely event that the massive white dwarf has sufficient mass to lead to black hole formation. In addition, we predict both negligible 56Ni-production (that should result in an optically-dark, adiabatically-cooled explosion) and the ejection of 0.1Msun of material with an electron fraction of 0.1-0.2. Such pollution by neutron-rich nuclei puts strong constraints on the possible rate of such AICs. Moreover, being free from ``fallback,'' such highly-magnetized millisecond-period protoneutron stars may later become magnetars, and the magnetically-driven winds may later transition to Poynting-flux-dominated, relativistic winds, eventually detectable as GRBs at cosmological distances. However, the low expected event rate of AICs will constrain them to be, at best, a small subset of GRB and/or magnetar progenitors.
