在牛顿和相对论引力下薄球壳的平衡和稳定性

Equilibrium and stability of thin spherical shells in Newtonian and relativistic gravity

Philip LeMaitre, Eric Poisson

摘要:

我们考虑薄球壳的物质在牛顿引力和广义相对论,并检查其平衡配置和动力学稳定性。薄壳层模型被公认是现实恒星模型的拙劣替代品。但是,与自引力流体的复杂得多的力学相比,控制其动力学的方程的简单性使我们能够以非常直接和简单的方式提供关于其平衡和稳定性的强大见解。我们探讨,特别是,沿着一系列的平衡配置和动力学不稳定性的发病之间的联系存在的最大质量。在牛顿引力和广义相对论中,这种联系在流体的情况下都得到了很好的证实,但要证明这种联系既微妙又困难。然而,在薄壳的情况下,证明是非常简单的,它只不过是用简单的代数和一点微积分来构造的。

英文摘要:

We consider thin spherical shells of matter in both Newtonian gravity and general relativity, and examine their equilibrium configurations and dynamical stability. Thin-shell models are admittedly a poor substitute for realistic stellar models. But the simplicity of the equations that govern their dynamics, compared with the much more complicated mechanics of a self-gravitating fluid, allows us to deliver, in a very direct and easy manner, powerful insights regarding their equilibria and stability. We explore, in particular, the link between the existence of a maximum mass along a sequence of equilibrium configurations and the onset of dynamical instability. Such a link is well-established in the case of fluid bodies in both Newtonian gravity and general relativity, but the demonstration of this link is both subtle and difficult. The proof is very simple, however, in the case of thin shells, and it is constructed with nothing more than straightforward algebra and a little calculus.
