太阳物质在白矮星上的吸积:没有与核心物质混合意味着白矮星的质量正在增加

The Accretion of Solar Material onto White Dwarfs: No Mixing with Core Material Implies that the Mass of the White Dwarf is Increasing

Sumner Starrfield

摘要:

激变变星(CV)是一个近距离双星系统,其中一个组成部分是一颗吸积的白矮星(WD),另一个组成部分是一颗较大的较冷的恒星,充满了它的洛希叶。WD吸积物质的一个后果是它们的质量可能会增加,最终将达到阿布拉塞卡极限。这种演化可能导致超新星Ia(SN Ia)爆炸,并被称为单简并祖先(SD)场景。单一简并方案的一个问题是,通常假设在演化的吸积阶段期间的某个时间,吸积材料与WD核心材料混合,并且由于典型的WD具有碳-氧(CO)核心,混合导致大量的碳和氧被带入吸积层中。浓缩碳的存在会导致增强的核聚变和经典新星(CN)爆炸。因此,经典新星系统中的WD质量正在减少,不可能是超新星Ia的祖先。在这里报道的新计算中,已经研究了没有吸积物质与核心物质混合对WD的影响,并且爆炸中涉及的物质只有太阳的成分。我发现,一旦有足够的材料已经吸积,核燃烧继续,直到热核失控(TNR)发生和WD要么蒸发少量的材料或其半径增长到约$10^{12}$厘米和计算停止。在所有发生物质抛射的情况下,抛射物的质量远小于吸积物质的质量。因此,所有WD的质量都在增长。(节录)

英文摘要:

Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) are close binary star systems with one component an accreting white dwarf (WD) and the other a larger cooler star that fills its Roche Lobe. One consequence of the WDs accreting material, is the possibility that they are growing in mass and will eventually reach the Chandrasekhar Limit. This evolution could result in a Supernova Ia (SN Ia) explosion and is designated the Single Degenerate Progenitor (SD) scenario. One problem with the single degenerate scenario is that it is generally assumed that the accreting material mixes with WD core material at some time during the accretion phase of evolution and, since the typical WD has a carbon-oxygen (CO) core, the mixing results in large amounts of carbon and oxygen being brought up into the accreted layers. The presence of enriched carbon causes enhanced nuclear fusion and a Classical Nova (CN)explosion. Thus, the WD in a Classical Nova system is decreasing in mass and cannot be a SN Ia progenitor. In new calculations reported here, the consequences to the WD of no mixing of accreted material with core material have been investigated and the material involved in the explosion has only a Solar composition. I find that once sufficient material has been accreted, nuclear burning continues until a thermonuclear runaway (TNR) occurs and the WD either ejects a small amount of material or its radius grows to about $10^{12}$ cm and the calculations are stopped. In all cases where mass ejection occurs, the mass of the ejecta is far less than the mass of the accreted material. Therefore, all the WDs are growing in mass. (Abridged)
