共同信封:对质量和命运的残余

Common envelope: on the mass and the fate of the remnant

Natalia Ivanova

摘要:

双星演化中最重要和最不确定的阶段之一是共同包络事件。到目前为止,文献中对CE事件期间的能量平衡给予了大量关注,预计这将决定结果。然而,这个问题本质上与CE之后施主星留下了什么及其直接演化的问题相关联。在本文中,我们认为,一个重要的阶段被忽视了:后CE残余热调整阶段。我们提出了一种方法,明确定义CE后的残余质量后,它已被热重新调整,即通过调用核心边界的半径在氢壳层对应于当地最大的声速。我们认为,热调整阶段的重要后果是:(一)在CE双星的能量预算要求的变化和(二)同伴自旋和化学富集,作为剩余的热调整(TR)过程中发生的质量转移的结果。预计会有更多的CE二进制文件合并。如果伴星是一颗中子星,它将在TR阶段进行温和的再循环。在TR阶段的质量传递比在普通包层的吸积速率强得多,因此更好地满足超临界吸积的条件。我们还认为,TR阶段是负责生产轻度回收的双中子星的中子星。

英文摘要:

One of the most important and uncertain stages in the binary evolution is the common envelope (CE) event. Significant attention has been devoted in the literature so far to the energy balance during the CE event, expected to determine the outcome. However this question is intrinsically coupled with the problem of what is left from the donor star after the CE and its immediate evolution. In this paper we argue that an important stage has been overlooked: post-CE remnant thermal readjustment phase. We propose a methodology for unambiguously defining the post-CE remnant mass after it has been thermally readjusted, namely by calling the core boundary the radius in the hydrogen shell corresponding to the local maximum of the sonic velocity. We argue that the important consequences of the thermal readjustment phase are: (i) a change in the energy budget requirement for the CE binaries and (ii) a companion spin-up and chemical enrichment, as a result of the mass transfer that occurs during the remnant thermal readjustment (TR). More CE binaries are expected to merge. If the companion is a neutron star, it will be mildly recycled during the TR phase. The mass transfer during the TR phase is much stronger than the accretion rate during the common envelope, and therefore satisfies the condition for a hypercritical accretion better. We also argue that the TR phase is responsible for a production of mildly recycled pulsars in double neutron stars.
