引力收缩中快速旋转恒星或巨行星的包层动力学

Dynamics of the envelope of a rapidly rotating star or giant planet in gravitational contraction

Delphine Hypolite, Michel Rieutord

摘要:

我们希望了解控制引力收缩和旋转的恒星或巨行星的流体流动的过程。我们考虑一个球壳包含一个不可压缩的流体是缓慢吸收的核心,以模仿引力收缩。我们还考虑了稳定分层的影响,这也可能改变中等质量主序前恒星的动力学。这个简单的模型揭示了Stewartson层附着在核心和物体表面的流体所满足的边界条件的重要性。对于中等质量的前主序星,在其包层稳定分层的情况下,在出生线之后不久,由收缩驱动的上旋流将取代原本会发生的斜压流,该模型还表明,对于收缩包层,一个振幅不断增大的自相似流控制着动力学。这表明,出生线上的初始条件很可能被遗忘。最后,模型表明,近(Stewartson)层,位于切线圆柱的核心可能是一个关键的动力学特征,是在1D模型中缺失的。这层可以解释核心和信封旋转耦合,这是需要解释的巨星和亚巨星的核心缓慢旋转。

英文摘要:

We wish to understand the processes that control the fluid flows of a gravitationally contracting and rotating star or giant planet. We consider a spherical shell containing an incompressible fluid that is slowly absorbed by the core so as to mimick gravitational contraction. We also consider the effects of a stable stratification that may also modify the dynamics of a pre-main sequence star of intermediate mass. This simple model reveals the importance of both the Stewartson layer attached to the core and the boundary conditions met by the fluid at the surface of the object. In the case of a pre-main sequence star of intermediate mass where the envelope is stably stratified, shortly after the birth line, the spin-up flow driven by contraction overwhelms the baroclinic flow that would take place otherwise.This model also shows that for a contracting envelope, a self-similar flow of growing amplitude controls the dynamics. It suggests that initial conditions on the birth line are most probably forgotten. Finally, the model shows that the near (Stewartson) layer that lies on the tangent cylinder of the core is likely a key feature of the dynamics that is missing in 1D models.This layer can explain the core and envelope rotational coupling that is required to explain the slow rotation of cores in giant and subgiants stars.
