摘要:

在极快质量转移的极限下,相互作用双星中施主星的响应渐近地变为绝热膨胀。我们在这里调查绝热质量损失从人口I星的质量0.10 Msun到100 Msun从零年龄的主序的基地的巨大的分支,或中央氢耗尽较低的主序星。对于中等质量和高质量的恒星,动力学质量转移之前是一个扩展阶段的热时间尺度的质量转移,因为恒星被剥夺了大部分的信封质量。临界质量比qad以上,这种延迟动力学不稳定性发生增加与先进的捐助者恒星的演化年龄,不断增加的因素,更大的捐助者。大多数具有非简并吸积体的中质量或高质量双星在表现出这种不稳定性之前可能会演化为接触。然而,当它们接近巨星分支的底部,并开始形成一个对流包层时,qad在中等质量恒星中急剧下降,达到统一阶的值,并迅速发生动力学不稳定性。在低质量恒星中,瞬发不稳定性贯穿于主序星演化的始终,qad随质量的减小而下降。我们计算的qad与Chen & Han(2003)的含时模型的行为非常吻合,该模型认为中等质量恒星在Hertzsprung间隙中引发了质量转移。应用我们的研究结果的激变变量,作为系统,必须是稳定的快速传质,很好地限制了qad的范围作为一个功能的轨道周期,在其中发现,这些结果是为了推进人口合成模型的逼真的密切的二元演化。

英文摘要:

In the limit of extremely rapid mass transfer, the response of a donor star in an interacting binary becomes asymptotically one of adiabatic expansion. We survey here adiabatic mass loss from Population I stars of mass 0.10 Msun to 100 Msun from the zero age main sequence to the base of the giant branch, or to central hydrogen exhaustion for lower main sequence stars. For intermediate- and high-mass stars, dynamical mass transfer is preceded by an extended phase of thermal time scale mass transfer as the star is stripped of most of its envelope mass. The critical mass ratio qad above which this delayed dynamical instability occurs increases with advancing evolutionary age of the donor star, by ever-increasing factors for more massive donors. Most intermediate- or high-mass binaries with nondegenerate accretors probably evolve into contact before manifesting this instability. As they approach the base of the giant branch, however, and begin developing a convective envelope, qad plummets dramatically among intermediate-mass stars, to values of order unity, and a prompt dynamical instability occurs. Among low-mass stars, the prompt instability prevails throughout main sequence evolution, with q_ad declining with decreasing mass. Our calculated qad agree well with the behavior of timedependent models by Chen & Han (2003) of intermediate-mass stars initiating mass transfer in the Hertzsprung gap. Application of our results to cataclysmic variables, as systems which must be stable against rapid mass transfer, nicely circumscribes the range in qad as a function of orbital period in which they are found. These results are intended to advance the verisimilitude of population synthesis models of close binary evolution.
