摘要:

使用详细的二进制演化的人口数合成代码,我们计算的Ia型超新星的数量分布作为时间的函数后,星爆。这是两个主要的祖先的情况下(单简并和双简并),但也与各种进化的假设(如传质效率,角动量损失,和共同的包络线描述)。这些理论上预测的延迟时间分布与椭圆星系中的观测结果的比较,然后允许约束的演化场景和参数。从分布的形态形状,我们得出结论,所有的超新星Ia不能通过单一的简并方案单独产生,最好的匹配时,两种方案都作出贡献。在双简并的情况下,大多数系统会经历一个准保守的,稳定的罗氏瓣溢出阶段。我们提出恒星自转作为一种可能的解决方案,低估了所观察到的绝对事件数,在许多理论人口合成研究的情况下。与这些其他的研究进行了简要的比较,表现出良好的对应关系的非平凡条件下的等价假设。我们还研究了不同的Ia超新星祖先和演化参数对银河系盘中G型矮星铁丰度理论分布的影响。这些恒星是银河系整个化学历史的良好指标,它们的预测金属丰度分布也可以与观测结果进行比较。这再次限制了可接受的假设组合的数量。支持以前的结果,最好的对应关系中发现的情况下,单和双退化的情况下作出贡献。

英文摘要:

Using a population number synthesis code with detailed binary evolution, we calculate the distribution of the number of type Ia supernovae as a function of time after starburst. This is done for both main progenitor scenarios (single degenerate and double degenerate), but also with various evolutionary assumptions (such as mass transfer efficiency, angular momentum loss, and common envelope description). The comparison of these theoretically predicted delay time distributions with observations in elliptical galaxies then allows to constrain the evolutionary scenarios and parameters. From the morphological shape of the distributions, we conclude that all supernovae Ia cannot be produced through the single degenerate scenario alone, with the best match being obtained when both scenarios contribute. Within the double degenerate scenario, most systems go through a phase of quasi-conservative, stable Roche lobe overflow. We propose stellar rotation as a possible solution for the underestimation of the observed absolute number of events, as is the case in many theoretical population synthesis studies. A brief comparison with these other studies is made, showing good correspondence under the nontrivial condition of equivalent assumptions. We also investigate the influence of different supernova Ia progenitors and evolutionary parameters on the theoretical distribution of the iron abundance of G-type dwarfs in the Galactic disk. These stars are good indicators of the entire chemical history of the Galaxy, and their predicted metallicity distribution can also be compared to the observational ones. This again limits the number of acceptable combinations of assumptions. Supporting previous results, the best correspondence is found in the case where both the single and double degenerate scenario contribute.
