摘要:

在古老而致密的恒星系统中,白矮星的碰撞是一种相当频繁的现象。在这里,我们提出了一套全面的光滑粒子流体动力学模拟的结果,近距离接触的白矮星,旨在探索的相互作用的结果和性质的最终残留物为不同的初始条件。根据初始条件和白矮星的质量,可能会有三种不同的结果。具体来说,相互作用的结果可以是直接碰撞或侧向碰撞,或者相互作用可以导致形成偏心双星系统。在发生碰撞的情况下,下落的物质被压缩和加热,从而在合并的最猛烈阶段达到爆炸的物理条件。虽然我们发现,爆炸发生在我们的模拟显着数量,在其中一些冲击区的温度上升迅速升降机简并,导致淬火的燃烧。因此,我们的特点是在何种情况下,爆炸是可能发生的结果,更大质量的白矮星的表面上的破坏的恒星的影响。最后,我们还研究了哪些相互作用导致束缚系统,以及在哪些系统中,更大质量的白矮星也被破坏作为动力学相互作用的结果。在这项工作中进行了大量的模拟,可以发现相互作用的结果如何取决于最接近的距离,以及碰撞的白矮星的质量,这是核处理材料的化学模式。最后,我们还讨论了相互作用的白矮星的质量和核的化学成分以及不同类型的碰撞对残留物性质的影响。

英文摘要:

In old, dense stellar systems collisions of white dwarfs are a rather frequent phenomenon. Here we present the results of a comprehensive set of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics simulations of close encounters of white dwarfs aimed to explore the outcome of the interaction and the nature of the final remnants for different initial conditions. Depending on the initial conditions and the white dwarf masses, three different outcomes are possible. Specifically, the outcome of the interaction can be either a direct or a lateral collision or the interaction can result in the formation of an eccentric binary system. In those cases in which a collision occurs, the infalling material is compressed and heated such that the physical conditions for a detonation may be reached during the most violent phases of the merger. While we find that detonations occur in a significant number of our simulations, in some of them the temperature increase in the shocked region rapidly lifts degeneracy, leading to the quenching of the burning. We thus characterize under which circumstances a detonation is likely to occur as a result of the impact of the disrupted star on the surface of the more massive white dwarf. Finally, we also study which interactions result in bound systems, and in which ones the more massive white dwarf is also disrupted as a consequence of the dynamical interaction. The sizable number of simulations performed in this work allows to find how the outcome of the interaction depends on the distance at closest approach, and on the masses of the colliding white dwarfs, and which is the chemical pattern of the nuclearly processed material. Finally, we also discuss the influence of the masses and core chemical compositions of the interacting white dwarfs and the different kinds of impact in the properties of the remnants.
