摘要:

研究了Ia型超新星从爆轰阶段到同系膨胀阶段的引力约束爆轰(GCD)模型。在GCD模型中,爆轰是由碳-氧白矮星中单点偏心火焰点火引起的表面流触发的。模拟是独特的,在何种程度上的非理想化的物理学是用来治疗的反应流,包括弱反应速率和时间依赖性的处理材料的核统计平衡(NSE)。仔细注意精确计算的最终成分的材料燃烧到NSE和冻结的快速膨胀后的爆轰波通过的高密度核心的白矮星;和核合成后处理的一种有效的方法开发,避免了昂贵的网络计算需要沿示踪粒子的热力学轨迹。观测诊断的爆炸模型,包括丰度分层和综合产量。我们发现,在这里研究的所有点火条件下,一个自我调节的过程,包括中子化和恒星膨胀的结果最终\iso{Ni}{56}质量的$\sim$ 1.1 \msun。但是,更多的能量模型导致更大的总NSE和稳定的Fe峰产率。中等质量元素的总产额为$\sim0.1$ \msun,爆炸能量均在1.5 $\times10^{51}$尔格左右。爆炸模型进行了简要比较,最近Ia型超新星观测的推断属性。讨论了表面爆炸模型产生低光度(低\iso{Ni}{56}质量)超新星的可能性。

英文摘要:

We study the gravitationally confined detonation (GCD) model of Type Ia supernovae through the detonation phase and into homologous expansion. In the GCD model, a detonation is triggered by the surface flow due to single point, off-center flame ignition in carbon-oxygen white dwarfs. The simulations are unique in terms of the degree to which non-idealized physics is used to treat the reactive flow, including weak reaction rates and a time dependent treatment of material in nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE). Careful attention is paid to accurately calculating the final composition of material which is burned to NSE and frozen out in the rapid expansion following the passage of a detonation wave over the high density core of the white dwarf; and an efficient method for nucleosynthesis post-processing is developed which obviates the need for costly network calculations along tracer particle thermodynamic trajectories. Observational diagnostics are presented for the explosion models, including abundance stratifications and integrated yields. We find that for all of the ignition conditions studied here, a self regulating process comprised of neutronization and stellar expansion results in final \iso{Ni}{56} masses of $\sim$1.1\msun. But, more energetic models result in larger total NSE and stable Fe peak yields. The total yield of intermediate mass elements is $\sim0.1$\msun and the explosion energies are all around 1.5$\times10^{51}$ ergs. The explosion models are briefly compared to the inferred properties of recent Type Ia supernova observations. The potential for surface detonation models to produce lower luminosity (lower \iso{Ni}{56} mass) supernovae is discussed.
