激变变星的总体合成:I.包含详细的核演化

Population Synthesis of Cataclysmic Variables: I. Inclusion of Detailed Nuclear Evolution

J. Goliasch, L. Nelson

摘要:

我们已经进行了广泛的人口综合研究的合奏性质的现今人口的激变变量(PDCV),考虑到核演化的高质量捐助者接近分叉和动力学不稳定的限制。假设中断的磁制动范例,我们确认了许多与观察到的CV人口的一般功能,并发现巨大的多样性,在其长期的属性。我们预测,Porb > 6小时的非磁性CV中有近一半至少是轻度进化的(即,大于其MS关闭年龄的一半)。这些系统中的一些有助于在周期间隙中观察到的PDCV群体。我们还看到,在“最小周期”检测CV的概率提高了两倍。该尖峰非常窄(约5分钟),并且由于WD质量的光谱以及部分由于供体的演变而衰减。我们的合成意味着,超紧凑CV(如AM CV)的数量应该会迅速下降。我们发现0.05%到1%的PDCV可能是UC,因此CV通道可能不是UC固有群体的主要贡献者(特别是对于Porb < 30分钟)。最后,我们的研究结果的初步分析表明,WD在PDCV经历了一个净增益的质量小于约0.1 Msun的高传质速率的结果,在其早期的演变。

英文摘要:

We have carried out an extensive population synthesis study of the ensemble properties of the present-day population of cataclysmic variables (PDCVs) that takes into account the nuclear evolution of high-mass donors close to the bifurcation and dynamical instability limits. Assuming the interrupted magnetic braking paradigm, we confirm many of the general features associated with the observed CV population and find enormous diversity in their secular properties. We predict that nearly half of the non-magnetic CVs with Porb > 6 hours are at least mildly evolved (i.e., greater than one-half of their MS turn-off age). Some of these systems contribute to the observed population of PDCVs in the period gap. We also see an enhancement by up to a factor of two in the probability of detecting CVs at the `minimum period'. This spike is quite narrow (approximately 5 minutes) and is attenuated because of the spectrum of WD masses and partly by the evolution of the donors. Our syntheses imply that there should be a very rapid decline in the number of ultracompact CVs (such as AM CVns). We find that between 0.05 to 1 percent of PDCVs could be UCs, and thus it is likely that the CV channel is probably not the primary contributor to the intrinsic population of UCs (especially for Porb < 30 minutes). Finally, a preliminary analysis of our results suggests that WDs in PDCVs experience a net gain in mass of less than about 0.1 Msun as a result of high mass-transfer rates early in their evolution.
