A型超巨星的慢辐射驱动风解

Slow Radiation-Driven Wind Solutions of A-Type Supergiants

M. Cure, L. Cidale, A. Granada

摘要:

辐射驱动风理论成功地描述了大质量恒星的终极速度和质量损失率。然而,对于A型超巨星,标准m-CAK解预测的质量损失和终极速度值比观测值高。基于快速旋转大质量恒星中慢风解的存在性,我们数值探索了辐射驱动流的参数空间,以寻找新的慢旋转恒星中的风解,从而解释这些差异的来源。我们解决了1-D流体动力学方程的旋转辐射驱动的风在不同的恒星纬度和探索的影响,电离的变化,整个风的速度剖面。我们已经发现,对于特定的恒星和线力参数,一个新的慢解存在于整个恒星的旋转速度很慢,甚至为零时。在慢转A型超巨星的情况下,这种新的慢解在所有纬度的存在导致质量损失和风的终极速度,这是与观测值一致。由这些慢解导出的风动量-亮度关系式与经验关系式吻合得很好。此外,终端和逃逸速度之间的比率,这提供了一个简单的方法来预测恒星风的能量和动量输入到星际介质,也适当跟踪。

英文摘要:

The theory of radiation-driven winds succeeded in describing terminal velocities and mass loss rates of massive stars. However, for A-type supergiants the standard m-CAK solution predicts values of mass loss and terminal velocity higher than the observed values. Based on the existence of a slow wind solution in fast rotating massive stars, we explore numerically the parameter space of radiation-driven flows to search for new wind solutions in slowly rotating stars, that could explain the origin of these discrepancies. We solve the 1-D hydrodynamical equation of rotating radiation-driven winds at different stellar latitudes and explore the influence of ionization's changes throughout the wind in the velocity profile. We have found that for particular sets of stellar and line-force parameters, a new slow solution exists over the entire star when the rotational speed is slow or even zero. In the case of slow rotating A-type supergiant stars the presence of this novel slow solution at all latitudes leads to mass losses and wind terminal velocities which are in agreement with the observed values. The theoretical Wind Momentum-Luminosity Relationship derived with these slow solutions shows very good agreement with the empirical relationship. In addition, the ratio between the terminal and escape velocities, which provides a simple way to predict stellar wind energy and momentum input into the interstellar medium, is also properly traced.
