摘要:

AGB星通过星风损失的物质是星系化学富集的主要贡献者之一。AGB风的质量损失机制的一般假设是恒星脉动和尘埃颗粒上的辐射压力的组合,但目前的模型仍然受到限制。除其他外,他们假设气体的化学平衡,这可能是不合理的,由于风的快速局部动态变化。这一点很重要,因为它是调节风的热结构,风中尘埃颗粒的产生以及最终风的质量损失的化学成分。使用自洽水化学模型,我们研究了非平衡化学如何影响风的动力学。本文比较了流体动力和水化学无尘风,重点是化学加热和冷却过程。在具有物理上合理的脉动的纯流体动力学模型中,不会产生可持续的风。此外,温度太高,尘埃形成不可能发生,从而使谷物不可能受到辐射压力。由于有效的化学冷却,水化学风甚至更难启动。然而,密集区域的温度足够低,可以形成粉尘。这些区域靠近恒星,这是尘埃上的辐射压力所必需的,足以帮助产生风。扩展这个模型与尘埃的形成和演化自洽,并包括辐射压力,将有助于理解AGB风的质量损失。

英文摘要:

The material lost through stellar winds of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars is one of the main contributors to the chemical enrichment of galaxies. The general hypothesis of the mass loss mechanism of AGB winds is a combination of stellar pulsations and radiative pressure on dust grains, yet current models still suffer from limitations. Among others, they assume chemical equilibrium of the gas, which may not be justified due to rapid local dynamical changes in the wind. This is important as it is the chemical composition that regulates the thermal structure of the wind, the creation of dust grains in the wind, and ultimately the mass loss by the wind. Using a self-consistent hydrochemical model, we investigated how non-equilibrium chemistry affects the dynamics of the wind. This paper compares a hydrodynamical and a hydrochemical dust-free wind, with focus on the chemical heating and cooling processes. No sustainable wind arises in a purely hydrodynamical model with physically reasonable pulsations. Moreover, temperatures are too high for dust formation to happen, rendering radiative pressure on grains impossible. A hydrochemical wind is even harder to initiate due to efficient chemical cooling. However, temperatures are sufficiently low in dense regions for dust formation to take place. These regions occur close to the star, which is needed for radiation pressure on dust to sufficiently aid in creating a wind. Extending this model self-consistently with dust formation and evolution, and including radiation pressure, will help to understand the mass loss by AGB winds.
