不同金属丰度年轻星团中恒星黑洞的动力学- II。黑洞-黑洞双星

Dynamics of stellar black holes in young star clusters with different metallicities - II. Black hole-black hole binaries

Brunetto Marco Ziosi, Michela Mapelli, Marica Branchesi, Giuseppe Tormen

摘要:

本文利用N体模拟方法研究了年轻星团中黑洞-黑洞(BH-BH)双星的形成和动力学演化。模拟包括金属依赖的配方恒星演化和恒星风,并已运行三个不同的金属丰度(Z = 0.01,0.1和1 Zsun)。根据最近的风质量损失和核心坍缩超新星的理论模型,我们假设恒星残骸的质量取决于祖星的金属丰度。我们发现BH-BH双星由于动力学交换而有效地形成:在我们的模拟中,我们发现BH-BH双星比双中子星双星多10倍。模拟的BH-BH双星在贫金属的YSC中形成得更早,因为贫金属的YSC比富金属的YSC中拥有更多的大质量黑洞(BH)。模拟的BH-BH双星具有非常大的啁啾质量(高达80 Msun),因为BH质量被假设取决于金属丰度,并且因为BH可以由于与恒星合并而增加质量。模拟的BH-BH双星的轨道周期跨度很大(10^-3- 10 ^7年),预计其中只有一小部分(0.3%)会在哈勃时间内合并。我们讨论了我们的模拟估计合并率和先进的处女座和LIGO的影响。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we study the formation and dynamical evolution of black hole-black hole (BH-BH) binaries in young star clusters (YSCs), by means of N-body simulations. The simulations include metallicity-dependent recipes for stellar evolution and stellar winds, and have been run for three different metallicities (Z = 0.01, 0.1 and 1 Zsun). Following recent theoretical models of wind mass-loss and core-collapse supernovae, we assume that the mass of the stellar remnants depends on the metallicity of the progenitor stars. We find that BH-BH binaries form efficiently because of dynamical exchanges: in our simulations, we find about 10 times more BH-BH binaries than double neutron star binaries. The simulated BH-BH binaries form earlier in metal-poor YSCs, which host more massive black holes (BHs) than in metal-rich YSCs. The simulated BH-BH binaries have very large chirp masses (up to 80 Msun), because the BH mass is assumed to depend on metallicity, and because BHs can grow in mass due to the merger with stars. The simulated BH-BH binaries span a wide range of orbital periods (10^-3-10^7 yr), and only a small fraction of them (0.3 per cent) is expected to merge within a Hubble time. We discuss the estimated merger rate from our simulations and the implications for Advanced VIRGO and LIGO.
