大质量双致密天体合并:引力波源和r-过程-元素产生场所

Massive double compact object mergers: gravitational wave sources and r-process-element production sites

N. Mennekens, D. Vanbeveren

摘要:

利用我们的银河系演化程序(包含一个详细的中等质量和大质量双星总体模型),我们研究了双中子星双星、含有中子星和黑洞成分的混合系统以及双黑洞双星的银河系总体的时间演化。我们计算这些相对论双星的合并率,并将其转换为LIGO II的检测率。我们证明,考虑到大质量近距离双星演化预测的“初始质量-最终质量”关系的不确定性,以及初始质量大于30 - 40 Mo的恒星在明亮的蓝变星阶段和初始质量小于30 - 40 Mo的恒星在红超巨星阶段可能存在的大恒星风质量损失的影响,当这样的恒星是一个双星组成部分时,双黑洞的合并率可能非常小,与其他研究小组的预测相反。相对论性双星合并过程中r-过程化学产额的流体动力学计算最近已成为可用。用我们的银河系代码,包括二进制,它是直接计算的时间星系演化的r-过程元素喷射这些合并。我们的结论是,除了银河系的最早的演化阶段(~第一个1亿年)的双致密星合并可能是主要的生产网站的r-过程元素,它是可能的混合系统占主导地位的双中子星二元合并这种生产。

英文摘要:

With our galactic evolutionary code that contains a detailed intermediate mass and massive binary population model, we study the temporal evolution of the galactic population of double neutron star binaries, mixed systems with a neutron star and black hole component and double black hole binaries. We compute the merger rates of these relativistic binaries and we translate them into LIGO II detection rates. We demonstrate that accounting for the uncertainties in the relation 'initial mass-final mass' predicted by massive close binary evolution and due to the possible effect of large stellar wind mass loss during the luminous blue variable phase of a star with initial mass larger than 30-40 Mo and during the red supergiant phase of a star with initial mass smaller than 30-40 Mo when such a star is a binary component, the double black hole merger rate may be very small, contrary to predictions made by other groups. Hydrodynamic computations of r-process chemical yields ejected during the relativistic binary merger process have recently become available. With our galactic code that includes binaries it is then straightforward to calculate the temporal galactic evolution of the r-process elements ejected by these mergers. We conclude that except for the earliest evolutionary phase of the Galaxy (~the first 100 Myr) double compact star mergers may be the major production sites of r-process elements and it is probable that the mixed systems dominate this production over double neutron star binary mergers.
