具有吸积包层的磁星的加热和冷却

Heating and cooling of magnetars with accreted envelopes

A. D. Kaminker, A. Y. Potekhin, D. G. Yakovlev, G. Chabrier

摘要:

我们研究磁星作为冷却中子星的热结构和演化,在内层有唯象热源。我们重点研究磁化(B > 10^{14} G)的非吸积和吸积的最外层包层的影响,这些包层由不同的元素组成,从铁到氢或氦。讨论了中子星外壳热传导和中微子发射的综合效应,并计算了磁星在偶极磁场作用下的冷却过程,包括热层的不同位置、加热速率和磁场强度。强磁场和轻元素组成的综合效应简化了我们模型中磁星的解释:这些效应允许我们在假设不太极端(因此更现实)加热的情况下解释观测结果。大质量的磁星,在其核心有快速的中微子冷却,可以有更高的热表面光度。

英文摘要:

We study the thermal structure and evolution of magnetars as cooling neutron stars with a phenomenological heat source in an internal layer. We focus on the effect of magnetized (B > 10^{14} G) non-accreted and accreted outermost envelopes composed of different elements, from iron to hydrogen or helium. We discuss a combined effect of thermal conduction and neutrino emission in the outer neutron star crust and calculate the cooling of magnetars with a dipole magnetic field for various locations of the heat layer, heat rates and magnetic field strengths. Combined effects of strong magnetic fields and light-element composition simplify the interpretation of magnetars in our model: these effects allow one to interpret observations assuming less extreme (therefore, more realistic) heating. Massive magnetars, with fast neutrino cooling in their cores, can have higher thermal surface luminosity.
