原恒星质量因入流和扩散

Protostar Mass Due to Infall and Dispersal

Philip C. Myers

摘要:

原恒星的质量是由均匀背景中等温球体的落入和扩散计算的。当峰值密度与背景密度相差较大且扩散时间t_d较短时,吸积过程是“自限性的”:核外气体在吸积前就已扩散,原恒星质量趋于一个与时间无关的低质量值。对于较低的密度对比和较长的扩散时间,吸积“逃跑”:气体从核心以外吸积,原恒星质量接近大质量恒星的值。最终的原恒星质量近似为自由落体时间等于td的初始气体质量。当气体温度为10 K,峰值密度和背景密度分别为10^6和10^3 cm^-3时,该质量与IMF的峰值相匹配,而t_d与核心自由落体时间t_core相当。吸积的光度超过1个L-太阳的时间为0.1百万年,就像在“0级”阶段一样。当t_d/t_core=0.4-0.8,温度为7-50 K时,自限原恒星质量为0.08-5 M-Sun。这些原恒星和核心质量的比值为0.4 +-0.2,如果核心质量分布和IMF具有相同的形状。

英文摘要:

The mass of a protostar is calculated from the infall and dispersal of an isothermal sphere in a uniform background. For high contrast between peak and background densities and for short dispersal time t_d, the accretion is "self-limiting": gas beyond the core is dispersed before it accretes, and the protostar mass approaches a time-independent value of low mass. For lower density contrast and longer dispersal time, the accretion "runs away": gas accretes from beyond the core, and the protostar mass approaches massive star values. The final protostar mass is approximately the initial gas mass whose free-fall time equals t_d. This mass matches the peak of the IMF for gas temperature 10 K, peak and background densities 10^6 and 10^3 cm^-3, and for t_d comparable to the core free-fall time t_core. The accretion luminosity exceeds 1 L-Sun for 0.1 Myr, as in the "Class 0" phase. For t_d/t_core=0.4-0.8 and temperature 7-50 K, self-limiting protostar masses are 0.08-5 M-Sun. These protostar and core masses have ratio 0.4 +- 0.2, as expected if the core mass distribution and the IMF have the same shape.
