辐射反馈对早期碎裂和多重数的影响

The Effects of Radiation Feedback on Early Fragmentation and Multiplicity

S. S. R. Offner

摘要:

形成中的恒星会向其出生环境发出大量的辐射。虽然来自大质量恒星的辐射反馈的重要性被广泛接受,但在模拟低质量恒星形成时,辐射通常被忽略。我使用ORION,自适应网格细化(AMR)三维重力辐射流体动力学代码,模拟低质量恒星形成的湍流分子云。我证明,包括辐射反馈的碎片和原恒星的多重性有着深远的影响。虽然加热主要局限在核心包层内,但它足以抑制盘的碎裂,否则会导致低质量的伴星或棕矮星。因此,湍流碎片,而不是磁盘碎片,可能是低质量双星的起源。

英文摘要:

Forming stars emit a significant amount of radiation into their natal environment. While the importance of radiation feedback from high-mass stars is widely accepted, radiation has generally been ignored in simulations of low-mass star formation. I use ORION, an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) three-dimensional gravito-radiation-hydrodynamics code, to model low-mass star formation in a turbulent molecular cloud. I demonstrate that including radiation feedback has a profound effect on fragmentation and protostellar multiplicity. Although heating is mainly confined within the core envelope, it is sufficient to suppress disk fragmentation that would otherwise result in low-mass companions or brown dwarfs. As a consequence, turbulent fragmentation, not disk fragmentation, is likely the origin of low-mass binaries.
