具有凝聚核的氦白矮星的中微子发射

Neutrino Emission from Helium White Dwarfs with Condensed Cores

Paulo F. Bedaque, Evan Berkowitz, Aleksey Cherman

摘要:

氦白矮星中的离子处于玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚态的可能性是近年来研究的热点。特别是,有人认为,由此产生的新型量子液体具有一种新的准粒子激发与声子类色散关系。我们调查的中微子发射率,由于这种无隙状态和由此产生的影响的总光度的氦白矮星星,作为一种可能的可观察的方式来检测这种异国情调的阶段。如果量子液态的凝聚温度(目前还不十分精确)足够高,我们的计算表明,由于无隙模式而产生的中微子发射将对氦白矮星的总光度做出很大贡献。

英文摘要:

The possibility that ions in a helium white dwarf star are in a Bose-Einstein condensed state has been explored recently. In particular, it has been argued that the resulting novel quantum liquid has a new kind of quasiparticle excitation with a phonon-like dispersion relation. We investigate the neutrino emission rate due to this gapless state and the resulting impact on the total luminosity of helium white dwarf stars, as a possible observable way of detecting this exotic phase. If the condensation temperature for the quantum liquid state, which is currently not known very precisely, turns out to be high enough, our calculations indicate that neutrino emission due to the gapless mode would make a large contribution to the total luminosity of the helium white dwarf stars.
