从两颗白矮星碰撞看Ia型超新星

On Type Ia Supernovae From The Collisions of Two White Dwarfs

摘要:

我们探讨两个白矮星之间的碰撞作为一种途径,使Ia型超新星(SNIa)。球状星团中的白矮星数密度允许每年发生10-100次红移<1的碰撞,Chomiuk等人(2008)对附近S 0星系NGC 7457中的球状星团的观测发现了可能是SNIa遗迹的物质。我们在不同的碰撞参量和质量分辨率下对两颗0.6太阳质量的白矮星的碰撞进行了模拟。对于小于白矮星半径一半的碰撞参量,我们发现这样的碰撞产生约0.4太阳质量的镍56,使这样的事件潜在的候选人underluminous SNIA或新星和SNIA之间的新的瞬态类。

英文摘要:

We explore collisions between two white dwarfs as a pathway for making Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa). White dwarf number densities in globular clusters allow 10-100 redshift <1 collisions per year, and observations by (Chomiuk et al. 2008) of globular clusters in the nearby S0 galaxy NGC 7457 have detected what is likely to be a SNIa remnant. We carry out simulations of the collision between two 0.6 solar mass white dwarfs at various impact parameters and mass resolutions. For impact parameters less than half the radius of the white dwarf, we find such collisions produce approximately 0.4 solar masses of Ni56, making such events potential candidates for underluminous SNIa or a new class of transients between Novae and SNIa.
