金属丰度和动力学对年轻星团演化的影响

The impact of metallicity and dynamics on the evolution of young star clusters

M. Mapelli, A. A. Trani, A. Bressan

摘要:

致密年轻星团(YSC)的早期演化依赖于恒星演化与动力学过程之间的复杂联系。因此,YSC的N体模拟必须考虑这两个方面。我们讨论了三种不同金属丰度(Z= 0.01,0.1和1 Zsun)的YSC的N体模拟,包括金属丰度依赖的恒星演化配方和金属丰度依赖的恒星风和残余物形成配方。我们表明,恒星风的质量损失影响核心崩溃的逆转。特别是,坍缩后的核心膨胀在富含金属的YSC中比在贫金属的YSC中更快,因为前者比后者失去更多的质量(通过恒星风)。因此,半质量半径在贫金属YSC中扩展得更多。我们还讨论了如何这些研究结果取决于总质量和维里半径的YSC。这些结果为我们理解不同金属丰度的YSC的早期演化提供了线索。

英文摘要:

The early evolution of a dense young star cluster (YSC) depends on the intricate connection between stellar evolution and dynamical processes. Thus, N-body simulations of YSCs must account for both aspects. We discuss N-body simulations of YSCs with three different metallicities (Z=0.01, 0.1 and 1 Zsun), including metallicity-dependent stellar evolution recipes and metallicity-dependent prescriptions for stellar winds and remnant formation. We show that mass-loss by stellar winds influences the reversal of core collapse. In particular, the post-collapse expansion of the core is faster in metal-rich YSCs than in metal-poor YSCs, because the former lose more mass (through stellar winds) than the latter. As a consequence, the half-mass radius expands more in metal-poor YSCs. We also discuss how these findings depend on the total mass and on the virial radius of the YSC. These results give us a clue to understand the early evolution of YSCs with different metallicity.
