半联星双星中低质量氦星的演化

Evolution of Low-Mass Helium Stars in Semidetached Binaries

L. R. Yungelson

摘要:

本文系统地研究了含吸积体的半分离双星--白矮星中低质量(0.35、0.40和0.65太阳质量)氦施主的演化。在演化序列的初始模型中,中心氦丰度在$\simeq 0.1$和0.98之间。计算结果可用于研究AMCVn星的起源和演化状态。结果表明,系统的最小轨道周期与系统的总质量和施主在RLOF的演化态的关系很弱,约为9-11 min,在给定的轨道周期下,质量交换率在周期最小值到约40 min之间的范围内的分散度不超过$\sim 2.5$ .在轨道周期超过约20分钟。质量损失的恒星是弱简并均匀冷却的对象和丰富的He,C,N,O,Ne的物质中失去的依赖于在RLOF的程度,He-贫化。对于目前被认为是具有氦施主的AM CVn星最可能的模型候选者的系统,这些丰度大约为Y $>$ 0.4,X_C $<$ 0.3,X_O $<$ 0.25,X_N $<$ 0.005。在轨道周期大于约40分钟时,质量损失的时间尺度开始超过施主的热时间尺度,后者开始收缩,它们变得更加简并,显然,AM CVn恒星的“白矮星”和“氦星”人口合并。

英文摘要:

We present results of a systematic investigation of the evolution of low-mass (0.35, 0.40, and 0.65 solar mass) helium donors in semidetached binaries with accretors - white dwarfs. In the initial models of evolutionary sequences abundance of helium in the center is between $\simeq 0.1$ and 0.98. Results of computations may be applied to the study of the origin and evolutionary state of AM CVn stars. It is shown that the minimum orbital periods of the systems only weakly depend on the total mass of the system and evolutionary state of the donor at RLOF and are equal to 9-11 min. The scatter in the mass-exchange rates at a given orbital period in the range between period minimum and about 40 min. does not exceed $\sim 2.5$. At orbital periods exceeding about 20 min. mass-losing stars are weakly degenerate homogeneous cooling objects and abundances of He, C, N, O, Ne in the matter lost by them depend on the extent of He-depletion at RLOF. For the systems which are currently considered as the most probable model candidates for AM CVn stars with helium donors these abundances are, approximately, Y$>$0.4, X_C$<$0.3, X_O$<$0.25, X_N$<$0.005. At orbital periods greater than about 40 min. the timescale of mass-loss begins to exceed thermal time-scale of the donors, the latter begin to contract, they become more degenerate and, apparently, "white-dwarf" and "helium-star" populations of AM CVn stars merge.
