局部宇宙中的超大质量恒星
Very Massive Stars in the Local Universe
摘要:
最近的研究表明,在本地宇宙中存在着质量高达300个太阳的超大质量恒星(VMS)。由于这一发现可能代表了150个太阳质量的标准恒星质量上限的范式转变,现在是时候评估VMS特有的物理学,这是目前缺失的。出于这个原因,我们决定写一本书,既讨论VMS质量的准确性(马丁斯),也讨论VMS形成(克鲁姆霍尔茨)、质量损失(温克)、不稳定性(奥沃斯基)、进化(赫斯基)和命运(理论--伍斯利和海格;观测--史密斯)的物理学。
英文摘要:
Recent studies suggest the existence of very massive stars (VMS) up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. As this finding may represent a paradigm shift for the canonical stellar upper-mass limit of 150 solar masses, it is timely to evaluate the physics specific to VMS, which is currently missing. For this reason, we decided to construct a book entailing both a discussion of the accuracy of VMS masses (Martins), as well as the physics of VMS formation (Krumholz), mass loss (Vink), instabilities (Owocki), evolution (Hirschi), and fate (theory -- Woosley & Heger; observations -- Smith).
