快速旋转大质量恒星中快和$Ω$ -慢风解的共存和转换

Co-existence and switching between fast and $Ω$-slow wind solutions in rapidly rotating massive stars

Ignacio Araya, Michel Curé, Asif ud-Doula, Alfredo Santillán, Lydia Cidale

摘要:

大多数辐射驱动的大质量星风可以用m-CAK理论模拟,从而得到所谓的快速解。然而,其中旋转最快的恒星,特别是当恒星旋转速度高于临界旋转速度的$\sim 75\%$时,可以采用一种不同的解决方案,称为$Ω$ -慢解,其特征是密集而缓慢的风。在这里,在这项工作中,我们研究的过渡区的解决方案,快速的解决方案的变化的$Ω$ -慢。使用时间稳定和时间相关的数值代码,我们研究这个过渡区的不同赤道模型的B型星。在所有的情况下,在一定的转速范围内,我们发现了一个区域的快速和$Ω$ -缓慢的解决方案可以共存。我们发现,在此共存区域中获得的解决方案的类型在很大程度上取决于我们的模型的初始条件。我们还测试了共存区域内的解决方案的稳定性,通过在风中进行基密度扰动。我们发现,在一定的条件下,快速的解决方案可以切换到一个$Ω$ -慢的解决方案,反之亦然。这样的解决方案切换可能是一个可能的贡献者的材料注入到拱星环境的Be星,而不需要转速接近临界值。

英文摘要:

Most radiatively-driven massive star winds can be modelled with m-CAK theory resulting in so called fast solution. However, those most rapidly rotating among them, especially when the stellar rotational speed is higher than $\sim 75\%$ of the critical rotational speed, can adopt a different solution called $Ω$-slow solution characterized by a dense and slow wind. Here, in this work we study the transition region of the solutions where the fast solution changes to the $Ω$-slow. Using both time-steady and time-dependent numerical codes, we study this transition region for different equatorial models of B-type stars. In all the cases, at certain range of rotational speeds, we found a region where the fast and $Ω$-slow solution can co-exist. We find that the type of solution obtained in this co-existence region depends heavily on the initial conditions of our models. We also test the stability of the solutions within the co-existence region by performing base density perturbations in the wind. We find that under certain conditions, the fast solution can switch to a $Ω$-slow solution, or vice versa. Such solution switching may be a possible contributor of material injected into the circumstellar environment of Be stars, without requiring rotational speeds near critical values.
