白矮星中磁场的成因

The Genesis of Magnetic Fields in White Dwarfs

Gordon P. Briggs

摘要:

在恒星合并过程中,发电机机制由于不同的旋转而产生的磁场通常被认为是某些类别磁星(包括高场磁白矮星(HFMWD))中强磁场存在的一种解释。在HFMWD的情况下,差分旋转的网站已被不同地提出了共同的信封本身,合并的退化核心或吸积盘形成的潮汐破坏的同伴,随后被纳入一个退化的核心的大规模的热外部区域。在本研究中,我探讨的可能性,HFMWD的起源是一致的恒星相互作用的共同信封演化(CEE)。在这幅图中,观测到的磁场是由差动旋转驱动的$α-Ω$发电机产生的。最强的场出现在差分旋转等于临界分裂速度时,并且会出现在CEE期间的两颗恒星合并或后共包络(CE)阶段的双简并(DD)合并中。那些没有合并但在近轨道上从CE出现并即将开始质量转移的系统将演化为磁激变变星(MCV)。本工作中进行的布居合成计算表明,孤立白矮星(WD)和MCV中WD的高场起源与普通包层演化过程中的恒星相互作用一致。我比较计算的场强观察和测试的理论和观测之间的相关性通过Kolmogorov-Smirnov(K-S)测试,并表明,由此产生的相关性是好的CE能量效率参数,$α{_{\rm{CE}}}$,在0.1--0.3范围内的值。

英文摘要:

Magnetic fields generated by a dynamo mechanism due to differential rotation during stellar mergers are often proposed as an explanation for the presence of strong fields in certain classes of magnetic stars, including high field magnetic white dwarfs (HFMWDs). In the case of the HFMWDs, the site of the differential rotation has been variously proposed to be the common envelope itself, the massive hot outer regions of a merged degenerate core or an accretion disc formed by a tidally disrupted companion that is subsequently incorporated into a degenerate core. In the present study I explore the possibility that the origin of HFMWDs is consistent with stellar interactions during the common envelope evolution (CEE). In this picture the observed fields are caused by an $α-Ω$ dynamo driven by differential rotation. The strongest fields would arise when the differential rotation equals the critical break up velocity and would occur from the merging of two stars during CEE or double degenerate (DD) mergers in a post common envelope (CE) stage. Those systems that do not coalesce but emerge from the CE on a close orbit and about to initiate mass transfer will evolve into magnetic cataclysmic variables (MCVs), The population synthesis calculations carried out in this work have shown that the origin of high fields in isolated white dwarfs (WDs) and in WDs in MCVs is consistent with stellar interaction during common envelope evolution. I compare the calculated field strengths to those observed and test the correlation between theory and observation by means of the Kolmogorov--Smirnov (K--S) test and show that the resulting correlation is good for values of the CE energy efficiency parameter, $α{_{\rm{CE}}}$, in the range 0.1--0.3.
