三颗恒星系统的稳定性和碰撞

On the stability and collisions in triple stellar systems

Matthias Y. He, Cristobal Petrovich

摘要:

主序星中有相当一部分是三重系统的一部分。我们使用大量的长期直接N体积分与相对论性岁差来研究三星系统的长期稳定性和动力学结果。我们发现Eggleton & Kiseleva 1995和Mardling & Aarseth 2001提出的稳定性准则在很宽的参数范围内合理地预测了喷射稳定性。假设三重恒星系统遵循FGK双星的轨道和质量分布,我们发现,在约1%和约0.5%的三重恒星系统中,主序星之间以及主序星与恒星质量致密天体之间分别发生了直接的正面碰撞(碰撞速度约为逃逸速度)。我们的结论是,三重相互作用是直接碰撞的主要渠道,涉及MS星在该领域的一个事件,每100年在银河系的速率。我们估计,形成短周期双星的三重系统的分数是高达~23%,只有高达~13%是三体相互作用与潮汐耗散的结果,这是一致的,与以前的工作使用长期代码。

英文摘要:

A significant fraction of main sequence stars are part of a triple system. We study the long-term stability and dynamical outcomes of triple stellar systems using a large number of long-term direct N-body integrations with relativistic precession. We find that the previously proposed stability criteria by Eggleton & Kiseleva 1995 and Mardling & Aarseth 2001 predict the stability against ejections reasonably well for a wide range of parameters. Assuming that the triple stellar systems follow orbital and mass distributions from FGK binary stars in the field, we find that in ~1% and ~0.5% of the triple systems lead to a direct head-on collision (impact velocity ~ escape velocity) between main sequence (MS) stars and between a MS star and a stellar-mass compact object, respectively. We conclude that triple interactions are the dominant channel for direct collisions involving a MS star in the field with a rate of one event every ~100 years in the Milky Way. We estimate that the fraction of triple systems that forms short-period binaries is up to ~23% with only up to ~13% being the result of three-body interactions with tidal dissipation, which is consistent with previous work using a secular code.
