超大质量恒星的死亡

The Deaths of Very Massive Stars

S. E. Woosley, Alexander Heger

摘要:

本文综述了主序星上重于10 Msun的恒星演化和死亡的理论基础,重点讨论了重于30 Msun的恒星。这些恒星,在没有大量质量损失的情况下,预计要么在死亡时产生黑洞,要么在氦核重约35 Msun时遇到对不稳定性。根据恒星的初始组成、自转速率和用于模拟其演化的物理学,可能会有各种各样的结果。这些较重的恒星可以产生宇宙中一些最明亮的超新星,但也有一些最微弱的超新星。它们可以制造伽马射线暴,也可以无声无息地坍缩。它们的核合成范围可以从CNO到广泛的元素,直到铁族。虽然现在很少见,但它们可能在形成第一批恒星后的宇宙演化中发挥了不成比例的作用。

英文摘要:

The theory underlying the evolution and death of stars heavier than 10 Msun on the main sequence is reviewed with an emphasis upon stars much heavier than 30 Msun. These are stars that, in the absence of substantial mass loss, are expected to either produce black holes when they die, or, for helium cores heavier than about 35 Msun, encounter the pair instability. A wide variety of outcomes is possible depending upon the initial composition of the star, its rotation rate, and the physics used to model its evolution. These heavier stars can produce some of the brightest supernovae in the universe, but also some of the faintest. They can make gamma-ray bursts or collapse without a whimper. Their nucleosynthesis can range from just CNO to a broad range of elements up to the iron group. Though rare nowadays, they probably played a disproportionate role in shaping the evolution of the universe following the formation of its first stars.
