Kozai机制在银河系中心的有效性

The Effectiveness of the Kozai Mechanism in the Galactic Centre

P. Chang

摘要:

我检查的有效性Kozai振荡的星系中心,特别是银河系中心使用标准技术从天体力学。特别是,我研究了恒星膨胀势和广义相对论对Kozai振荡的影响,这是由恒星盘引起的。Lockmann等人(2008)最近提出,银河系中心两个年轻的大质量恒星盘引起的Kozai振荡将年轻恒星的轨道驱动到大偏心率($e\approx 1$)。如果这些年轻的偏心恒星中有一些是双星,它们将在近心点附近被破坏,留下一颗恒星在中央SMBH周围的紧密轨道上,并产生S星。我发现,{ \it球形}恒星隆起抑制Kozai振荡,当它的内部封闭的质量在一个测试体的恒星盘的质量的顺序。由于银河系中心的恒星凸起比恒星盘大得多,Kozai振荡{ \it由于恒星盘}可能被抑制。Kozai振荡是否是由其他非球形成分(例如,扁平的恒星凸起)引起的,还有待确定。

英文摘要:

I examine the effectiveness of Kozai oscillations in the centres of galaxies and in particular the Galactic centre using standard techniques from celestial mechanics. In particular, I study the effects of a stellar bulge potential and general relativity on Kozai oscillations, which are induced by stellar discs. Lockmann et al (2008) recently suggested that Kozai oscillations induced by the two young massive stellar discs in the Galactic centre drives the orbits of the young stars to large eccentricity ($e\approx 1$). If some of these young eccentric stars are in binaries, they would be disrupted near pericentre, leaving one star in a tight orbit around the central SMBH and producing the S-star population. I find that the {\it spherical} stellar bulge suppresses Kozai oscillations, when its enclosed mass inside of a test body is of order the mass in the stellar disc(s). Since the stellar bulge in the Galactic centre is much larger than the stellar discs, Kozai oscillations {\it due to the stellar discs} are likely suppressed. Whether Kozai oscillations are induced from other nonspherical components to the potential (for instance, a flattened stellar bulge) is yet to be determined.
