摘要:

在偏心双星系统中,当洛希瓣溢出(RLO)开始时,恒星组分的快速圆化和同步化是所有双星恒星演化和星族合成程序的基本假设,尽管这一假设的有效性在理论和观测上都是值得怀疑的。在这里,我们计算了一个偏心的二进制通过直接三体积分的大质量粒子通过内拉格朗日点的施主星在近星点喷射的轨道根数的演变。这种粒子的轨道导致三种可能的结果:在单个轨道内直接吸积(DA)到伴星上,在单个轨道内自吸积(SA)回到施主星上,或者围绕伴星的准周期轨道。计算了前两种情况下双星轨道的长期演化,得出DA可以增大或减小轨道半长轴和偏心率,而SA总是减小轨道的两个轨道根数。在质量溢出有助于使轨道圆化的情况下,圆化可以在短至质量转移时间尺度的百分之几的时间尺度上开始。在质量溢出增加偏心率的情况下,轨道演变是由质量溢出和潮汐力矩之间的竞争。在没有潮汐力矩的情况下,质量溢出导致DI可以导致基本上亚同步旋转的捐助星。与通常的假设相反,DI并不总是提供一个强大的轨道角动量汇在密切的质量转移双星;事实上,我们反而发现,相当大的一部分可以返回到轨道在粒子轨道。这里提出的配方可以结合恒星和二进制的演变代码,以产生一个更好的图片偏心,RLO双星系统的演变。

英文摘要:

The rapid circularization and synchronization of the stellar components in an eccentric binary system at the onset of Roche lobe overflow (RLO) is a fundamental assumption common to all binary stellar evolution and population synthesis codes, even though the validity of this assumption is questionable both theoretically and observationally. Here we calculate the evolution of the orbital elements of an eccentric binary through the direct three-body integration of a massive particle ejected through the inner Lagrangian point of the donor star at periastron. The trajectory of this particle leads to three possible outcomes: direct accretion (DA) onto the companion star within a single orbit, self-accretion (SA) back onto the donor star within a single orbit, or a quasi-periodic orbit around the companion star. We calculate the secular evolution of the binary orbit in the first two cases and conclude that DA can increase or decrease the orbital semi-major axis and eccentricity, while SA always decreases the orbital both orbital elements. In cases where mass overflow contributes to circularizing the orbit, circularization can set in on timescales as short as a few per cent of the mass transfer timescale. In cases where mass overflow increases the eccentricity, the orbital evolution is governed by competition between mass overflow and tidal torques. In the absence of tidal torques, mass overflow resulting in DI can lead to substantially subsynchronously rotating donor stars. Contrary to common assumptions, DI furthermore does not always provide a strong sink of orbital angular momentum in close mass-transferring binaries; in fact we instead find that a significant part can be returned to the orbit during the particle orbit. The formulation presented here can be combined with stellar and binary evolution codes to generate a better picture of the evolution of eccentric, RLO binary star systems.
