摘要:

亚矮星B(sdB)的形成在目前的恒星单星和双星演化框架内还没有得到很好的理解。在这项研究中,我们专注于在极短周期食双星PG 1336 -018的脉动sdB星的形成和演化。我们的目标是完善这个独特系统的形成场景,以便它可以面对观测。利用详细的恒星演化计算,我们探测了短周期双星中sdB星的祖先星的结构。将其应用于PG 1336 -018,我们重建了sdB星形成期间的公共包络相位。结果解释的标准共同包络形式主义(α-形式主义)的基础上的能量方程,和另一种描述(γ-形式主义)使用角动量方程。我们发现,如果共同的信封演变所描述的α-形式主义,sdB祖最有可能经历了氦闪光。然后,我们预计sdB质量在0.39和0.48 Msun之间,并且sdB祖细胞初始质量低于~2 Msun。然而,γ形式的结果限制较少,在这种情况下可能有更宽的sdB质量范围(0.3 - 0.8 Msun)。未来的地震质量测定将对PG 1336 -018的形成,特别是对CE阶段产生强烈的约束。

英文摘要:

The formation of subdwarf B (sdB) stars is not well understood within the current framework of stellar single and binary evolution. In this study, we focus on the formation and evolution of the pulsating sdB star in the very short-period eclipsing binary PG1336-018. We aim at refining the formation scenario of this unique system, so that it can be confronted with observations. We probe the stellar structure of the progenitors of sdB stars in short-period binaries using detailed stellar evolution calculations. Applying this to PG1336-018 we reconstruct the common-envelope phase during which the sdB star was formed. The results are interpreted in terms of the standard common-envelope formalism (the alpha-formalism) based on the energy equation, and an alternative description (the gamma-formalism) using the angular momentum equation. We find that if the common-envelope evolution is described by the alpha-formalism, the sdB progenitor most likely experienced a helium flash. We then expect the sdB mass to be between 0.39 and 0.48 Msun, and the sdB progenitor initial mass to be below ~2 Msun. However, the results for the gamma-formalism are less restrictive, and a broader sdB mass range (0.3 - 0.8 Msun) is possible in this case. Future seismic mass determination will give strong constraints on the formation of PG1336-018 and, in particular, on the CE phase.
