摘要:

高磁场白矮星一直被怀疑是恒星合并的结果。然而,合并恒星的性质和产生磁场的精确机制仍然是未知的。在这里,我们表明,热,对流,差异旋转日冕存在于外层的残余合并的两个退化的核心是能够产生所需的强度,不衰减为长时间尺度的磁场。我们还表明,使用最先进的蒙特卡罗模拟器,以这种方式产生的高磁场白矮星的预期数量是一致的,在太阳附近发现。

英文摘要:

High-field magnetic white dwarfs have been long suspected to be the result of stellar mergers. However, the nature of the coalescing stars and the precise mechanism that produces the magnetic field are still unknown. Here we show that the hot, convective, differentially rotating corona present in the outer layers of the remnant of the merger of two degenerate cores is able to produce magnetic fields of the required strength that do not decay for long timescales. We also show, using an state-of-the-art Monte Carlo simulator, that the expected number of high-field magnetic white dwarfs produced in this way is consistent with that found in the solar neighborhood.
