具有质量谱的场粒子的动力学摩擦

Dynamical Friction from field particles with a mass spectrum

Luca Ciotti

摘要:

本文将经典的动力学摩擦公式(在假定所有场粒子具有相同质量的条件下导出)推广到场粒子的质量按质量谱分布的情形。两个极端的情况下被认为是:在第一,能量均分假设,在第二场粒子有相同的(麦克斯韦)速度分布。三种不同的质谱进行了详细研究,即指数,离散(两个组件),和幂律的情况下。据发现,动态摩擦减速可以显着强于在等效的经典情况下,与最大的差异(在极端情况下高达10或更多的因素)产生的测试粒子速度可比的质量平均速度分散的字段粒子。这些结果对我们理解球状星团的动力学演化,特别是对蓝离散星和中子星的质量分离和沉降的模型化,以及对星系核中的双星黑洞的研究都有重要意义。

英文摘要:

The analytical generalization of the classical dynamical friction formula (derived under the assumption that all the field particles have the same mass) to the case in which the masses of the field particles are distributed with a mass spectrum is presented. Two extreme cases are considered: in the first, energy equipartition is assumed, in the second all the field particles have the same (Maxwellian) velocity distribution. Three different mass spectra are studied in detail, namely the exponential, discrete (two components), and power-law cases. It is found that the dynamical friction deceleration can be significantly stronger than in the equivalent classical case, with the largest differences (up to a factor of 10 or more in extreme cases) arising for test particle velocities comparable to the mass-averaged velocity dispersion of the field particles. The present results are relevant to our understanding of the dynamical evolution of globular clusters, in particular in the modelization of mass segregation and sedimentation of Blue Straggler stars and Neutron stars, and for the study of binary black holes in galactic nuclei.
