M. Mocak, E. Mueller, A. Weiss, K. Kifonidis

摘要:

我们描述和讨论的核心氦闪光的流体动力学模拟使用的初始模型的1.25 M_sol的金属丰度为0.02附近的峰值。过去关于核心氦闪光动力学的研究是不确定的。它的结果范围从确认标准图片,其中恒星在闪光期间保持流体静力平衡(Deupree 1996),到恒星的破坏或重大质量损失(Edwards 1969; Cole & Deupree 1980)。然而,最新的多维流体动力学研究(迪尔伯恩2006)表明,一个静态的行为的核心氦闪光,似乎排除了爆炸的情况。在这里,我们提出了一个新的全面研究的核心氦闪光,这似乎证实了这种定性的行为,并提供了一个更好的洞察操作的对流区提供动力的氦燃烧在闪光的部分结果。水动力学的演变是随后的计算网格在球坐标系中使用我们的新版本的多维流体动力学代码HERAKLES,这是基于直接欧拉实现的分段抛物方法。

英文摘要:

We describe and discuss hydrodynamic simulations of the core helium flash using an initial model of a 1.25 M_sol star with a metallicity of 0.02 near at its peak. Past research concerned with the dynamics of the core helium flash is inconclusive. Its results range from a confirmation of the standard picture, where the star remains in hydrostatic equilibrium during the flash (Deupree 1996), to a disruption or a significant mass loss of the star (Edwards 1969; Cole & Deupree 1980). However, the most recent multidimensional hydrodynamic study (Dearborn 2006) suggests a quiescent behavior of the core helium flash and seems to rule out an explosive scenario. Here we present partial results of a new comprehensive study of the core helium flash, which seem to confirm this qualitative behavior and give a better insight into operation of the convection zone powered by helium burning during the flash. The hydrodynamic evolution is followed on a computational grid in spherical coordinates using our new version of the multi-dimensional hydrodynamic code HERAKLES, which is based on a direct Eulerian implementation of the piecewise parabolic method.
