中等质量X射线双星的热时标传质速率

Thermal Timescale Mass Transfer Rates in Intermediate-Mass X-ray Binaries

Xiao-Jie Xu, Xiang-Dong Li

摘要:

热时间尺度的质量转移通常发生在近距离双星中,其中供体星比吸积星更大。质量传递速率通常是根据施主星的开尔文-亥姆霍兹时间尺度来估计的。但最近的研究表明,这种方法可能高估了吸积白矮星或中子星双星系统的真实质量传递速率。通过计算不同初始施主质量和轨道周期的双星演化序列,系统地研究了中等质量X射线双星的热-时间尺度质量传递过程。从计算结果中,我们发现,平均的传质速率是低于传统的估计由$\sim 4$的一个因素。

英文摘要:

Thermal timescale mass transfer generally occurs in close binaries where the donor star is more massive than the accreting star. The mass transfer rates are usually estimated in terms of the Kelvin-Helmholtz timescale of the donor star. But recent investigations indicate that this method may overestimate the real mass transfer rates in accreting white dwarf or neutron star binary systems. We have systematically investigated the thermal-timescale mass transfer processes in intermediate-mass X-ray binaries, by calculating binary evolution sequences with various initial donor masses and orbital periods. From the calculated results we find that on average the mass transfer rates are lower than traditional estimates by a factor of $\sim 4$.
