热核超新星

Thermonuclear Supernovae

F. K. Roepke

摘要:

Ia型超新星(SNe Ia)在宇宙学中作为距离指标的应用要求对这些天体有一个合理的理解。近年来,天体物理学模型的蓬勃发展将Ia超新星解释为白矮星的热核爆炸。虽然其前身的演化仍不确定,但爆炸机制肯定涉及热核火焰在白矮星中的传播。三维流体动力学模拟可以研究各种各样的可能性,包括亚音速火焰传播(爆燃)、湍流加速火焰和超音速爆炸。这些可能性导致了各种各样的情况。我回顾了目前讨论的方法,并提出了一些最近的结果,从模拟的湍流爆燃模型和延迟爆轰模型。

英文摘要:

The application of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as distance indicators in cosmology calls for a sound understanding of these objects. Recent years have seen a brisk development of astrophysical models which explain SNe Ia as thermonuclear explosions of white dwarf stars. While the evolution of the progenitor is still uncertain, the explosion mechanism certainly involves the propagation of a thermonuclear flame through the white dwarf star. Three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations allowed to study a wide variety of possibilities involving subsonic flame propagation (deflagrations), flames accelerated by turbulence, and supersonic detonations. These possibilities lead to a variety of scenarios. I review the currently discussed approaches and present some recent results from simulations of the turbulent deflagration model and the delayed detonation model.
