摘要:

Ia型超新星(SNe Ia)被认为是碳氧白矮星(CO WD)的热核爆炸。然而,到CO WD的质量吸积过程仍然没有完全理解。在本文中,我们研究了富氦物质到CO WD的吸积,并探讨了一种情况下,强风形成的WD的表面上,如果总光度超过爱丁顿限制。利用一个名为恒星天体物理实验模块(MESA)的恒星演化程序,模拟了质量为0.6- 1.35 Msun的CO WD对He的吸积过程,并计算了不同吸积率(10 - 8 - 10 - 5 Msun/yr)下的吸积率。如果在确定爱丁顿吸积率时包括总光度的贡献,那么超爱丁顿风可以在比以前基于稳态模型的研究相对较低的吸积率下触发。超爱丁顿风可以阻止具有高吸积率的WD演化成红巨星状He星。我们发现,从我们的模拟判断,来自WD的热能的贡献是不可忽略的,即使核燃烧能量是光度的主要来源。我们还提供了稳定的He燃烧制度,其中WD不失去任何吸积物质,并增加其质量稳定的限制,并计算了质量保留效率在He层闪光的WD质量和吸积率。这些结果可用于未来的二进制人口合成计算。

英文摘要:

Supernovae of type Ia (SNe Ia) are believed to be thermonuclear explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (CO WDs). However, the mass accretion process onto CO WDs is still not completely understood. In this paper, we study the accretion of He-rich matter onto CO WDs and explore a scenario in which a strong wind forms on the surface of the WD if the total luminosity exceeds the Eddington limit. Using a stellar evolution code called modules for experiments in stellar astrophysics (MESA), we simulated the He accretion process onto CO WDs for WDs with masses of 0.6-1.35Msun and various accretion rates of 10^{-8}-10^{-5}Msun/yr. If the contribution of the total luminosity is included when determining the Eddington accretion rate, then a super-Eddington wind could be triggered at relatively lower accretion rates than those of previous studies based on steady-state models. The super-Eddington wind can prevent the WDs with high accretion rates from evolving into red-giant-like He stars. We found that the contributions from thermal energy of the WD are non-negligible, judging by our simulations, even though the nuclear burning energy is the dominating source of luminosity. We also provide the limits of the steady He-burning regime in which the WDs do not lose any accreted matter and increase their mass steadily, and calculated the mass retention efficiency during He layer flashes for various WD masses and accretion rates. These obtained results can be used in future binary population synthesis computations.
