脉动对不稳定超新星的二维模拟

Two-Dimensional Simulations of Pulsational Pair-Instability Supernovae

Ke-Jung Chen, Stan Woosley, Alexander Heger, Ann Almgren, Daniel Whalen

摘要:

大质量恒星的氦核在35到65 Msun之间,由于重复出现的对不稳定性,它们会产生重复的热核爆发。在其中一些事件中,太阳质量的物质以多次重复爆发的方式喷射出来,每次10 $^{50}$ erg。这些壳层之间的碰撞有时会产生非常明亮的瞬变,从可观测宇宙的边缘可以看到。以前对这些事件的一维研究产生了薄的,高密度的壳,因为一个喷射进入另一个。在这里,在这些碰撞的第一个多维模拟中,我们表明,瑞利-泰勒不稳定性的发展截断了高密度尖峰的增长,并驱动壳之间的混合。它的前身是一颗太阳金属丰度为110 Msun的恒星,在早期的工作中被证明会产生一颗超亮超新星。这个更真实的模型的光曲线具有与1D模型相似的峰值亮度和持续时间,但结构更平滑。

英文摘要:

Massive stars that end their lives with helium cores in the range of 35 to 65 Msun are known to produce repeated thermonuclear outbursts due to a recurring pair-instability. In some of these events, solar masses of material are ejected in repeated outbursts of several times 10$^{50}$ erg each. Collisions between these shells can sometimes produce very luminous transients that are visible from the edge of the observable universe. Previous 1D studies of these events produce thin, high-density shells as one ejection plows into another. Here, in the first multidimensional simulations of these collisions, we show that the development of a Rayleigh-Taylor instability truncates the growth of the high density spike and drives mixing between the shells. The progenitor is a 110 Msun solar-metallicity star that was shown in earlier work to produce a superluminous supernova. The light curve of this more realistic model has a peak luminosity and duration that are similar to those of 1D models but a structure that is smoother.
