银河系毫秒脉冲星三重系统PSR J0337 +1715- a中子星与两颗轨道白矮星的形成

Formation of the Galactic Millisecond Pulsar Triple System PSR J0337+1715 - a Neutron Star with Two Orbiting White Dwarfs

Thomas Tauris, Ed van den Heuvel

摘要:

三重系统中的毫秒脉冲星(PSR J 0337 +1715,最近由Ransom等人发现)是一颗不寻常的中子星,它有两颗绕轨道运行的白矮星。银河系中这样一个系统的存在对恒星天体物理学的理解提出了新的挑战,在密切的多恒星系统的演化,相互作用和质量转移。此外,该系统还首次精确确认了白矮星质量-轨道周期关系的宽轨道系统。在这里,我们提出了一个自洽的,半解析的解决方案,PSR J 0337 +1715的形成。我们的模型限制了系统的特殊速度小于160公里/秒,并带来了新的见解,例如,在一个三重系统,我们发现的证据,在螺旋外两颗恒星的共同信封演变。最后,我们简要讨论了我们的方案与替代模型。

英文摘要:

The millisecond pulsar in a triple system (PSR J0337+1715, recently discovered by Ransom et al.) is an unusual neutron star with two orbiting white dwarfs. The existence of such a system in the Galactic field poses new challenges to stellar astrophysics for understanding evolution, interactions and mass-transfer in close multiple stellar systems. In addition, this system provides the first precise confirmation for a very wide-orbit system of the white dwarf mass-orbital period relation. Here we present a self-consistent, semi-analytical solution to the formation of PSR J0337+1715. Our model constrains the peculiar velocity of the system to be less than 160 km/s and brings novel insight to, for example, common envelope evolution in a triple system, for which we find evidence for in-spiral of both outer stars. Finally, we briefly discuss our scenario in relation to alternative models.
