在等级形成的嵌入星团中,质量分离发生的速度有多快?

How fast is mass-segregation happening in hierarchical formed embedded star clusters?

摘要:

我们研究了具有两种不同背景势的初始亚结构年轻嵌入星团中质量分离的演化。我们的星系团最初处于维里或亚维里全局状态,并且对于最大质量的恒星具有不同的初始分布:随机放置,初始质量分离甚至逆分离。通过N体模拟,我们跟踪了它们500万年的进化。我们使用最小生成树方法Lambda_MSR和一个等效的限制方法来测量质量分离。尽管有各种不同的初始条件,我们发现我们的恒星分布几乎总是非常快地进入质量分离和更球形的配置,这表明一旦我们看到球形或近球形的嵌入星团,我们可以确定它是质量分离的,无论真正的初始条件是什么。此外,我们报告在何种情况下,这一进程可以更快或延迟,分别。

英文摘要:

We investigate the evolution of mass segregation in initially sub-structured young embedded star clusters with two different background potentials mimicking the gas. Our clusters are initially in virial or sub-virial global states and have different initial distributions for the most massive stars: randomly placed, initially mass segregated or even inverse segregation. By means of N-body simulation we follow their evolution for 5 Myr. We measure the mass segregation using the minimum spanning tree method Lambda_MSR and an equivalent restricted method. Despite this variety of different initial conditions, we find that our stellar distributions almost always settle very fast into a mass segregated and more spherical configuration, suggesting that once we see a spherical or nearly spherical embedded star cluster, we can be sure it is mass segregated no matter what the real initial conditions were. We, furthermore, report under which circumstances this process can be more rapid or delayed, respectively.
