摘要:

研究了具有大质量白矮星施主和吸积体的AM~CVn星的演化性质。作为它们的代表,我们考虑一个二进制最初组成的0.30 M $_\odot$,He WD和1.02 M $_\odot$,CO WD。计算了施主的质量转移率随时间的变化,并计算了吸积体的演化,考虑了质量交换对轨道参数演化的影响。我们模型的热响应的吸积CO WD与FUN进化代码耦合到一个完整的核网络,从氢到铋,包括700多个同位素连接约1000个核过程。我们发现,这些系统中的吸积体经历了稳定的He燃烧和温和的He闪光以及强烈的He闪光阶段,最终形成了由大量($\sim 0.1$ M $_\odot$)富He缓冲层覆盖的CO WDs。在He闪光(温和和强烈)期间,He壳层中的温度升高到$3\times 10^8$ K以上,因此${^{22}Ne}(α,n){^{25}Mg}$反应变得有效,并且可以产生富含$n$的同位素。在强烈的非动力学He闪光触发的RLOF事件中,富含$α$ -元素和富含$n$同位素的物质被喷射出来,污染了星际介质。我们的研究结果强烈表明,大规模的AM CVn系统与WD捐助者没有经历一个最终的非常强大的动态氦闪光驱动的爆炸性事件,如SN. IA。虽然喷出的物质是高度富集的重同位素,大规模的AM CVn系统对银河系化学演化的相对贡献是,最有可能的,由于其预期的稀缺性,可以忽略不计。

英文摘要:

We investigate the evolutionary properties of AM~CVn stars with massive white dwarf donors and accretors. As a representative of them we consider a binary initially composed by a 0.30 M$_\odot$, He WD and a 1.02 M$_\odot$, CO WD. We evaluate the time-dependent mass transfer rate from the donor and compute the evolution of the accretor, accounting for the effects of mass exchange on the evolution of orbital parameters. We model the thermal response of the accreting CO WD with the FUN evolutionary code coupled to a full nuclear network, from H to Bi, including more than 700 isotopes linked by about 1000 nuclear processes. We find that accretors in these systems evolve through the stages of steady He-burning and mild and strong He-flashes and become at the end CO WDs capped by a massive ($\sim 0.1$ M$_\odot$) He-rich buffer. During He-flashes (both mild and strong) the temperature in the He-shell increases above $3\times 10^8$ K, so that the ${^{22}Ne}(α,n){^{25}Mg}$ reaction becomes efficient and $n$-rich isotopes can be produced. During the RLOF episodes triggered by strong non-dynamical He-flashes matter enriched in $α$-elements and $n$-rich isotopes is ejected, polluting the interstellar medium. Our results strongly suggest that massive AM CVn systems with WD donors do not experience a final very strong dynamical He-flash driving an explosive event like SN .Ia. Though the ejected matter is highly enriched in heavy isotopes, the relative contribution of massive AM CVn systems to the Galactic chemical evolution is, most probably, negligible due to their expected paucity.
