摘要:

许多缺氢恒星的表面丰度模式很难与传统的恒星演化相一致。相反,有人认为它们可能是氦和碳氧白矮星合并的结果。在这封信中,我们提出了一个核合成研究的合并0.4 M_sol氦白矮星与0.8 M_sol碳-氧白矮星,通过耦合的热力学历史的光滑粒子流体动力学粒子与后处理代码。由此产生的化学丰度模式,特别是氧和氟,是在定性协议与观测到的丰度在北冕座R恒星。

英文摘要:

Many hydrogen deficient stars are characterised by surface abundance patterns that are hard to reconcile with conventional stellar evolution. Instead, it has been suggested that they may represent the result of a merger episode between a helium and a carbon-oxygen white dwarf. In this Letter, we present a nucleosynthesis study of the merger of a 0.4 M_sol helium white dwarf with a 0.8 M_sol carbon-oxygen white dwarf, by coupling the thermodynamic history of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics particles with a post-processing code. The resulting chemical abundance pattern, particularly for oxygen and fluorine, is in qualitative agreement with the observed abundances in R Coronae Borealis stars.
