摘要:

通过研究不同银河系金属丰度模型下的情景,分析了$^{22}$ Ne的沉积作用对本地白矮星光度函数的影响。我们利用一个最新的人口合成代码的基础上蒙特卡罗技术来获得合成光度函数。恒定太阳金属丰度模型不能同时再现白矮星光度函数的峰值和截止值。由于$^{22}$ Ne沉降而释放出的额外能量,使更多的物体堆积在光度函数暗端的较亮的仓中。一个单一的爆发厚盘人口的贡献增加了恒星的数量,在星等间隔为中心的$M_{\rm bol}=15.75$。在所研究的金属丰度模型中,遵循Twarog轮廓的模型是一次性的。我们的最佳拟合模型时,周围的太阳能金属丰度值的分散被认为是随着$^{22}$ Ne沉降模型,厚盘的贡献和年龄的薄盘的$8.8\pm0.2$陀螺仪。我们的人口合成模型是能够再现本地白矮星光度函数与高度的精度时,在太阳值模型周围的金属丰度分散。尽管$^{22}$ Ne沉降的影响很小,厚盘种群的贡献也很小,但它们都有助于更好地拟合白矮星光度函数的峰值和截止区域。

英文摘要:

We analyze the effect of the sedimentation of $^{22}$Ne on the local white dwarf luminosity function by studying scenarios under different Galactic metallicity models. We make use of an up-to-date population synthesis code based on Monte Carlo techniques to derive the synthetic luminosity function. Constant solar metallicity models are not able to simultaneously reproduce the peak and cut-off of the white dwarf luminosity function. The extra release of energy due to $^{22}$Ne sedimentation piles up more objects in brighter bins of the faint end of the luminosity function. The contribution of a single burst thick disk population increases the number of stars in the magnitude interval centered around $M_{\rm bol}=15.75$. Among the metallicity models studied, the one following a Twarog's profile is disposable. Our best fit model was obtained when a dispersion in metallicities around the solar metallicity value is considered along with a $^{22}$Ne sedimentation model, a thick disk contribution and an age of the thin disk of $8.8\pm0.2$ Gyr. Our population synthesis model is able to reproduce the local white dwarf luminosity function with a high degree of precision when a dispersion in metallicities around the solar value model is adopted. Although the effects of $^{22}$Ne sedimentation are only marginal and the contribution of a thick disk population is minor, both of them help in better fitting the peak and the cut-off regions of the white dwarf luminosity function.
