双星演化共包络相的AMR研究

An AMR Study of the Common Envelope Phase of Binary Evolution

Paul M. Ricker, Ronald E. Taam

摘要:

用高分辨率方法在三维空间中研究了由1.05Msun红巨星和0.6Msun伴星组成的低质量双星的共包络相的流体动力学演化。在快速螺旋阶段,伴星与红巨星扩展的大气层的相互作用导致大约25%的公共包层从系统中喷出,在模拟结束时质量继续以约2 Msun/yr的速度损失。在这个过程中,角动量和能量的损失使轨道间隔减少了7倍。在这个螺旋阶段之后,轨道的偏心率随时间迅速减小。在演化过程中,引力阻力始终占主导地位,常用的Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton公式估计伴星的吸积率明显高估了真实的吸积率。在与轨道分离相当的尺度上,两个核心附近的轨道平面内的气体流动是亚音速的,气体几乎与红巨星核心共转,并围绕红巨星伴星循环。在更大的尺度上,90%的外流包含在轨道平面的30度范围内,这种材料中的螺旋激波会在密度和速度结构上留下印记。在内核螺旋释放的能量中,只有大约25%用于弹射外壳。

英文摘要:

The hydrodynamic evolution of the common envelope phase of a low mass binary composed of a 1.05 Msun red giant and a 0.6 Msun companion has been followed for five orbits of the system using a high resolution method in three spatial dimensions. During the rapid inspiral phase, the interaction of the companion with the red giant's extended atmosphere causes about 25% of the common envelope to be ejected from the system, with mass continuing to be lost at the end of the simulation at a rate ~ 2 Msun/yr. In the process the resulting loss of angular momentum and energy reduces the orbital separation by a factor of seven. After this inspiral phase the eccentricity of the orbit rapidly decreases with time. The gravitational drag dominates hydrodynamic drag at all times in the evolution, and the commonly-used Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton prescription for estimating the accretion rate onto the companion significantly overestimates the true rate. On scales comparable to the orbital separation, the gas flow in the orbital plane in the vicinity of the two cores is subsonic with the gas nearly corotating with the red giant core and circulating about the red giant companion. On larger scales, 90% of the outflow is contained within 30 degrees of the orbital plane, and the spiral shocks in this material leave an imprint on the density and velocity structure. Of the energy released by the inspiral of the cores, only about 25% goes toward ejection of the envelope.
