星族III原恒星的自转和内部结构

Rotation and Internal Structure of Population III Protostars

A. Stacy, T. H. Greif, R. S. Klessen, V. Bromm, A. Loeb

摘要:

我们分析了Greif等人(2012)最近的工作中进行的宇宙学模拟,该工作遵循Pop III恒星的早期生长和合并历史,同时分辨小至0.05 R_sol的尺度。这是第一组宇宙学模拟,以自洽地解决Pop III原恒星的旋转和内部结构。我们发现,流行III星下形成显着的旋转支持,这是保持模拟的持续时间。原恒星表面的自转速度约为开普勒自转速度的50%到接近100%。这些自转速率在经历多次恒星合并事件后仍然存在。在模拟的短时间内(~ 10年),原恒星几乎没有对流不稳定的迹象,而且它们的性质与它们的宿主微晕的性质几乎没有相关性。如果Pop III原恒星在这个环境范围内形成时具有高度的旋转支持,并且这种旋转支持维持足够长的时间,这对Pop III演化和核合成有着重要的意义,以及Pop III对不稳定超新星的可能性,以及第一颗恒星是否产生了伽马射线暴的问题。

英文摘要:

We analyze the cosmological simulations performed in the recent work of Greif et al. (2012), which followed the early growth and merger history of Pop III stars while resolving scales as small as 0.05 R_sol. This is the first set of cosmological simulations to self-consistently resolve the rotation and internal structure of Pop III protostars. We find that Pop III stars form under significant rotational support which is maintained for the duration of the simulations. The protostellar surfaces spin from ~50% to nearly 100% of Keplerian rotational velocity. These rotation rates persist after experiencing multiple stellar merger events. In the brief time period simulated (~ 10 yr), the protostars show little indication of convective instability, and their properties furthermore show little correlation with the properties of their host minihaloes. If Pop III protostars within this range of environments generally form with high degrees of rotational support, and if this rotational support is maintained for a sufficient amount of time, this has a number of crucial implications for Pop III evolution and nucleosynthesis, as well as the possibility for Pop III pair-instability supernovae, and the question of whether the first stars produced gamma-ray bursts.
