关于超大质量白矮星存在的经验证据

On the empirical evidence for the existence of ultra-massive white dwarfs

S. Vennes, A. Kawka

摘要:

我们重新检查的证据,超大质量(M > 1.1 M_sun)白矮星的存在的基础上的引力红移的白矮星在共同的自行双星或集群,视差测量,轨道解决方案,最后,在分析的氢线轮廓。我们的结论是,最好的证据主要是基于对巴耳末线轮廓的分析,虽然同伴的A8V星HR 8210是一个令人信服的情况下,最初使用的大二元质量函数和确认的莱曼线光谱的分析。使用视差测量来确认和识别高质量的白矮星,特别是非DA的白矮星,可能对确定这些天体的人口比例和限制经验初始质量与最终质量关系的高端至关重要。大量超大质量白矮星的存在支持了一个更陡峭的初始质量与最终质量关系的概念,将6 M太阳的祖先与大约大于1.1 M太阳的白矮星联系起来。

英文摘要:

We re-examine the evidence for the existence of ultra-massive (M > 1.1 M_sun) white dwarfs based on gravitational redshift of white dwarfs in common proper motion binaries or in clusters, on parallax measurements, on orbital solutions, and, finally, on the analysis of hydrogen line profiles. We conclude that the best evidence is largely based on the analysis of Balmer line profiles although the companion to the A8V star HR 8210 is a compelling case made initially using the large binary mass function and confirmed by an analysis of the Lyman line spectrum. The confirmation and identification of high-mass white dwarfs, more particularly non-DA white dwarfs, using parallax measurements may prove critical in establishing the population fraction of these objects and in constraining the high-end of empirical initial-mass to final-mass relations. The existence of a substantial population of ultra-massive white dwarfs supports the concept of a steeper initial-mass to final-mass relations linking 6 M_sun progenitors with approximately greater than 1.1 M_sun white dwarfs.
