大质量恒星的自转和磁性

Rotation and Magnetism in Massive Stars

Adrian T. Potter

摘要:

自转对恒星的演化有许多重要的影响。它降低了地表重力,导致质量损失增强,并导致各种化学同位素的地表丰度异常。我们采用了剑桥恒星演化程序,将许多不同的旋转物理模型结合起来。我们比较了恒星演化模型的详细网格和模拟的恒星星族,以确定它们之间的关键差异。恒星辐射带中旋转驱动发电机的模型表明,角动量和化学成分的磁流体动力学输运可以主导其他纯流体动力学过程。我们已经调整了我们的纯流体动力学模型,以包括磁场的演变。我们考虑这对我们的旋转恒星的人口有什么影响,以及这些如何与观测数据。在恒星寿命的末期也会观测到强磁场。观测到白矮星表面的磁场强度变化很小,最大可达10^9 G。我们来看看在强相互作用联星的共同包络阶段,发电机作用如何产生白矮星中最强的磁场。

英文摘要:

Rotation has a number of important effects on the evolution of stars. It decreases the surface gravity, causes enhanced mass loss and leads to surface abundance anomalies of various chemical isotopes. We have adapted the Cambridge stellar evolution code to incorporate a number of different physical models for rotation. We compare detailed grids of stellar evolution models along with simulated stellar populations to identify the key differences between them. Models of rotationally-driven dynamos in stellar radiative zones have suggested that magnetohydrodynamic transport of angular momentum and chemical composition can dominate over the otherwise purely hydrodynamic processes. We have adapted our purely hydrodynamic model to include the evolution of the magnetic field. We consider what effects this has on our populations of rotating stars and how these relate to observational data. Strong magnetic fields are also observed at the end of the stellar lifetime. The surface magnetic field strength of white dwarfs is observed to vary from very little up to 10^9G. We look at how the strongest magnetic fields in white dwarfs may be generated by dynamo action during the common envelope phase of strongly interacting binary stars.
