引力坍缩的激波碎裂模型

Shock fragmentation model for gravitational collapse

M. Wilkinson, B. Mehlig, M. A. Morgan

摘要:

在重力作用下坍缩的气体云会碎裂。我们提出了一个新的理论,在这个过程中,层冲击气体碎片由于其引力不稳定性。我们的模型解释了为什么角动量不抑制坍缩过程。该理论预测,碎片化过程产生的物体比大多数恒星都要小得多,这意味着碎片上的吸积在确定恒星的初始质量方面起着至关重要的作用。这一预测也与行星可以通过引力坍缩产生的假设相一致。

英文摘要:

A cloud of gas collapsing under gravity will fragment. We present a new theory for this process, in which layers shocked gas fragment due to their gravitational instability. Our model explains why angular momentum does not inhibit the collapse process. The theory predicts that the fragmentation process produces objects which are significantly smaller than most stars, implying that accretion onto the fragments plays an essential role in determining the initial masses of stars. This prediction is also consistent with the hypothesis that planets can be produced by gravitational collapse.
