大质量恒星超新星前演化铁同位素的弱相互作用介导速率

Weak-interaction mediated rates on iron isotopes for presupernova evolution of massive stars

Jameel-Un Nabi

摘要:

在大质量恒星的前超新星演化过程中,铁的同位素$^{54,55,56}$ Fe在核心中起着关键作用,主要是通过电子捕获过程降低电子与重子的比例($Y_{e}$),从而降低压力支持。另一方面,电子衰变和正电子在$^{55}$ Fe上的捕获,在大质量恒星的硅燃烧阶段也对轻子比的增加起着重要作用。由于这些弱相互作用反应,产生的中微子和反中微子对恒星物质是透明的,有助于冷却核心,从而减少熵。超新星爆发前恒星的结构会因$Y_{e}$和核心物质熵的变化而改变。本文的目的是报道改进的微观计算Gamow-Teller(GT $_{\pm}$)强度分布的铁的关键同位素使用pn-QRPA理论。主要的改进来自于这些核的实验变形值的合并。此外,还计算了前超新星物质中电子和正电子俘获、电子和正电子衰变以及中微子和反中微子冷却等六种不同的弱相互作用速率。计算出的铁同位素的电子俘获和中微子冷却速率与大尺度壳模型(LSSM)的结果非常一致。然而,计算出的β衰变速率被抑制了三到五个数量级。

英文摘要:

During the presupernova evolution of massive stars, the isotopes of iron, $^{54,55,56}$Fe, are advocated to play a key role inside the cores primarily decreasing the electron-to-baryon ratio ($Y_{e}$) mainly via electron capture processes thereby reducing the pressure support. Electron decay and positron capture on $^{55}$Fe, on the other hand, also has a consequential role in increasing the lepton ratio during the silicon burning phases of massive stars. The neutrinos and antineutrinos produced, as a result of these weak-interaction reactions, are transparent to the stellar matter and assist in cooling the core thereby reducing the entropy. The structure of the presupernova star is altered both by the changes in $Y_{e}$ and the entropy of the core material. The aim of this paper is to report the improved microscopic calculation of Gamow-Teller (GT$_{\pm}$) strength distributions of these key isotopes of iron using the pn-QRPA theory. The main improvement comes from the incorporation of experimental deformation values for these nuclei. Additionally six different weak-interaction rates, namely electron & positron capture, electron & positron decay, and, neutrino & antineutrino cooling rates, were also calculated in presupernova matter. The calculated electron capture and neutrino cooling rates due to isotopes of iron are in good agreement with the large-scale shell model (LSSM) results. The calculated beta decay rates, however, are suppressed by three to five orders of magnitude.
