Ia型超新星和单个低质量白矮星的伴星

Companion stars of Type Ia supernovae and single low-mass white dwarfs

Bo Wang, Zhanwen Han

摘要:

最近对Ia型超新星WD + MS通道的研究表明,该通道可能是Ia型超新星古老星族(>1Gyr)的主要贡献。在WD + MS通道中,WD可以吸积来自主序星或稍微演化的恒星的物质,直到它达到克拉塞卡质量极限。该通道中的伴子在超新星爆炸后仍能存活并显示出独特的性质。在这封信中,基于WD + MS通道的SN Ia产生区域和WD + MS系统的三个形成通道,我们进行了详细的二元布居合成研究,以获得幸存的同伴的性质。这些性质可以通过未来的观测来验证。我们发现老Ia超新星幸存的伴星质量较低,这为解释单个低质量WDs(<0.45Msun)的形成提供了一种可能的途径。

英文摘要:

Recent investigations of the WD + MS channel of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) imply that this channel may be the main contribution to the old population (>1Gyr) of SNe Ia. In the WD + MS channel, the WD could accrete material from a main-sequence or a slightly evolved star until it reaches the Chandrasekhar mass limit. The companions in this channel would survive after SN explosion and show distinguishing properties. In this Letter, based on SN Ia production regions of the WD + MS channel and three formation channels of WD + MS systems, we performed a detailed binary population synthesis study to obtain the properties of the surviving companions. The properties can be verified by future observations. We find that the surviving companions of the old SNe Ia have a low mass, which provides a possible way to explain the formation of the population of single low-mass WDs (<0.45Msun).
