作为恒星参数函数的碳星尘埃驱动质量损失- II。粒径对风特性的影响

Dust driven mass loss from carbon stars as function of stellar parameters - II. Effects of grain size on wind properties

Lars Mattsson, Susanne Höfner

摘要:

[摘要]在本文中,我们探讨碳星的风特性的粒度效应,使用辐射截面的广义描述适用于任意大小的粒子。本研究的目的是调查在何种情况下小颗粒限度(SPL)可以给出可接受的结果,并量化当它不成立时可能发生的错误。在我们详细的辐射流体动力学模型中,随时间变化的晶粒生长描述给出了每一层中每一时刻尘埃粒子半径的信息。这些颗粒半径用于计算不透明度和确定尘埃气体混合物的辐射加速度。结果表明,在关键的情况下,灰尘不透明的广义描述的效果可以是显着的,导致更激烈的质量损失和更高的风速相比,使用SPL不透明的模型。对于发达的风,然而,粒度对质量损失率和风速的影响被发现是小的。这两组模型倾向于较低程度的灰尘冷凝相比,相应的SPL模型,由于晶粒生长和辐射加速之间的自我调节反馈。因此,“降尘率”是较低的模式与粮食混浊的广义处理。我们的结论是,我们以前的结果与SPL不透明度获得的质量损失率是可靠的恒星参数空间的广泛区域内,除了关键的情况下,接近阈值的灰尘驱动的外流,SPL模型往往会低估质量损失率和风速。

英文摘要:

[Abridged] In this paper we explore grain size effects on wind properties of carbon stars, using a generalized description of radiative cross sections valid for particles of arbitrary sizes. The purpose of the study is to investigate under which circumstances the small particle limit (SPL) may give acceptable results, and to quantify the possible errors that may occur when it does not hold. The time-dependent description of grain growth in our detailed radiation-hydrodynamical models gives information about dust particle radii in every layer at every instant of time. These grain radii are used for computing opacities and determining the radiative acceleration of the dust-gas mixture. It is shown that in the critical cases the effect of the generalized description of dust opacities can be significant, resulting in more intense mass loss and higher wind velocities compared to models using SPL opacities. For well-developed winds, however, grain size effects on mass loss rates and wind velocities are found to be small. Both groups of models tend towards lower degrees of dust condensation compared to corresponding SPL models, due to a self-regulating feedback between grain growth and radiative acceleration. Consequently, the "dust-loss rates" are lower in the models with the generalized treatment of grain opacities. We conclude that our previous results on mass loss rates obtained with SPL opacities are reliable within a wide region of stellar parameter space, except for critical cases close to thresholds of dust-driven outflows where SPL models will tend to underestimate the mass loss rates and wind velocities.
