星团动力学演化

Dynamical evolution of stellar clusters

Mark Gieles

摘要:

星团的演化是由几个内部和外部过程决定的。在这里,我们专注于两个占主导地位的内部效应,即通过近距离接触(两体弛豫)和质量损失的成员星通过恒星风和超新星爆炸的恒星之间的能量交换。尽管前者作用于星系团的弛豫时间尺度,而后者作用于恒星演化时间尺度,但这些过程共同驱动着一种近乎自相似的膨胀,而不会形成(硬)双星。低质量的星系团会膨胀得更多,以至于一段时间后,星系团的半径对它们的质量的依赖性很小,即使所有的星系团最初都有相同的(表面)密度。在整个过程中,假设星团是维里平衡,以及在其潮汐边界形成后不久,由年轻(几百万年)集群的观察动机。我们开始讨论如何星团可以区分(未绑定)协会在这些年轻的年龄。

英文摘要:

The evolution of star clusters is determined by several internal and external processes. Here we focus on two dominant internal effects, namely energy exchange between stars through close encounters (two-body relaxation) and mass-loss of the member stars through stellar winds and supernovae explosions. Despite the fact that the former operates on the relaxation timescale of the cluster and the latter on a stellar evolution timescale, these processes work together in driving a nearly self-similar expansion, without forming (hard) binaries. Low-mass clusters expand more, such that after some time the radii of clusters depend very little on their masses, even if all clusters have the same (surface) density initially. Throughout it is assumed that star clusters are in virial equilibrium and well within their tidal boundary shortly after formation, motivated by observations of young (few Myrs) clusters. We start with a discussion on how star clusters can be distinguished from (unbound) associations at these young ages.
