摘要:

大质量WR星是以强烈的质量损失为特征的演化大质量恒星。假设它们可以形成为单颗恒星,也可以形成为近距离双星中的质量供体。大约40%已知的WR星是确认的双星,这就提出了双星对WR星群的影响的问题。通过对SMC中的所有多个WR系统进行光谱分析,我们获得了每个单独组件的完整恒星参数。质光关系进行了测试,并评估的重要性的二进制演变通道。通过叠加对应于每个组件的模型光谱,使用PoWR模型大气代码进行光谱分析。使用BPASS演化工具约束演化通道。在所有WN组分中检测到显著的氢质量分数(0.1 - 0.4)。与质光关系和演化轨迹的比较表明,我们样本中的大多数WR星在化学上都不是均匀的。在双星AB 6中的WR分量被发现非常明亮(Log L ~ 6.3 [Lsun]),考虑到它的轨道质量(~10 Msun),可能是因为观测到第三个分量的污染。我们的对象得出的进化路径表明,罗氏瓣溢出发生在大多数系统,影响他们的进化。然而,隐含的初始质量是足够大的原色已经进入WR阶段,不管二进制的相互作用。结合单颗SMC WR星的结果,我们的研究表明,在SMC金属丰度下,双星演化通道并不主导WR星的形成。

英文摘要:

Massive WR stars are evolved massive stars characterized by strong mass-loss. Hypothetically, they can form either as single stars or as mass donors in close binaries. About 40% of the known WR stars are confirmed binaries, raising the question as to the impact of binarity on the WR population. By performing a spectral analysis of all multiple WR systems in the SMC, we obtain the full set of stellar parameters for each individual component. Mass-luminosity relations are tested, and the importance of the binary evolution channel is assessed. The spectral analysis is performed with the PoWR model atmosphere code by superimposing model spectra that correspond to each component. Evolutionary channels are constrained using the BPASS evolution tool. Significant Hydrogen mass fractions (0.1 - 0.4) are detected in all WN components. A comparison with mass-luminosity relations and evolutionary tracks implies that the majority of the WR stars in our sample are not chemically homogeneous. The WR component in the binary AB 6 is found to be very luminous (Log L ~ 6.3 [Lsun]) given its orbital mass (~10 Msun), presumably because of observational contamination by a third component. Evolutionary paths derived for our objects suggest that Roche lobe overflow had occurred in most systems, affecting their evolution. However, the implied initial masses are large enough for the primaries to have entered the WR phase, regardless of binary interaction. Together with the results for the putatively single SMC WR stars, our study suggests that the binary evolution channel does not dominate the formation of WR stars at SMC metallicity.
