摘要:

在AM CVn系统的早期演化过程中,氦在适合不稳定热核点火的条件下被吸积到白矮星的表面。由对流燃烧相在He包层中引起的湍流运动变得足够强,以影响燃烧锋的传播,并可能导致爆震的发生。这样的结果将产生放射性同位素和一个微弱的快速上升的热核“Ia”超新星。在本文中,我们提出了流体动力学爆炸模型和可观察到的结果,这些He壳爆炸的范围内的初始核心和信封群众。UVOIR辐射热光度计峰值的范围为10倍(从5e 41 - 5e 42 erg/s),R带峰值的范围为M_R,峰值= -15到-18。所有波段的上升时间都非常快(<10 d),但由于二次近红外增亮,红色波段的下降速率比蓝色波段慢。核合成主要产生重α链元素(40 Ca到56 Ni)和未燃烧的He。因此,峰值光周围的光谱缺乏中间质量元素的迹象,并占主导地位的钙和钛的功能,与警告,我们的辐射转移代码不包括非热效应必要的生产他的功能。

英文摘要:

During the early evolution of an AM CVn system, helium is accreted onto the surface of a white dwarf under conditions suitable for unstable thermonuclear ignition. The turbulent motions induced by the convective burning phase in the He envelope become strong enough to influence the propagation of burning fronts and may result in the onset of a detonation. Such an outcome would yield radioactive isotopes and a faint rapidly rising thermonuclear ".Ia" supernova. In this paper, we present hydrodynamic explosion models and observable outcomes of these He shell detonations for a range of initial core and envelope masses. The peak UVOIR bolometric luminosities range by a factor of 10 (from 5e41 - 5e42 erg/s), and the R-band peak varies from M_R,peak = -15 to -18. The rise times in all bands are very rapid (<10 d), but the decline rate is slower in the red than the blue due to a secondary near-IR brightening. The nucleosynthesis primarily yields heavy alpha-chain elements (40Ca through 56Ni) and unburnt He. Thus, the spectra around peak light lack signs of intermediate mass elements and are dominated by CaII and TiII features, with the caveat that our radiative transfer code does not include the non-thermal effects necessary to produce He features.
