英文摘要：

The collapse of degenerate oxygen-neon cores (i.e., electron-capture supernovae or accretion-induced collapse) proceeds through a phase in which a deflagration wave ("flame") forms at or near the center and propagates through the star. In models, the assumed speed of this flame influences whether this process leads to an explosion or to the formation of a neutron star. We calculate the laminar flame speeds in degenerate oxygen-neon mixtures with compositions motivated by detailed stellar evolution models. These mixtures include trace amounts of carbon and have a lower electron fraction than those considered in previous work. We find that trace carbon has little effect on the flame speeds, but that material with electron fraction $Y_e \approx 0.48-0.49$ has laminar flame speeds that are $\approx 2$ times faster than those at $Y_e = 0.5$. We provide tabulated flame speeds and a corresponding fitting function so that the impact of this difference can be assessed via full star hydrodynamical simulations of the collapse process.

The Interaction of High-Speed Turbulence with Flames: Global Properties and Internal Flame Structure

We study the dynamics and properties of a turbulent flame, formed in the presence of subsonic, high-speed, homogeneous, isotropic Kolmogorov-type turbulence in an unconfined system. Direct numerical simulations are performed with Athena-RFX, a massively parallel, fully compressible, high-order, dimensionally unsplit, reactive-flow code. A simplified reaction-diffusion model represents a stoichiometric H2-air mixture. The system being modeled represents turbulent combustion with the Damkohler number Da = 0.05 and with the turbulent velocity at the energy injection scale 30 times larger than the…

Effects of magnetic fields on the propagation of nuclear flames in magnetic white dwarfs

We investigate effects of the magnetic field on the propagation of laminar flames of nuclear reactions taking place in white dwarfs (WDs) with the mass close to the Chandrasekhar limit. We calculate the velocities of laminar flames parallel and perpendicular to uniform magnetic fields as eigenvalues of steady solutions for magnetic hydrodynamical equations. As a result, we find that even when the magnetic pressure does not dominate the entire pressure it is possible for the magnetic field to suppress the flame propagation through the thermal conduction. Above the critical magnetic field, the f…

The Interaction of High-Speed Turbulence with Flames: Turbulent Flame Speed

(Abridged) Direct numerical simulations of the interaction of a premixed flame with driven, subsonic, homogeneous, isotropic, Kolmogorov-type turbulence in an unconfined system are used to study the mechanisms determining the turbulent flame speed, S_T, in the thin reaction zone regime. High intensity turbulence is considered with the r.m.s. velocity 35 times the laminar flame speed, S_L, resulting in the Damkohler number Da = 0.05. Here we show that: (1) The flame brush has a complex internal structure, in which the isosurfaces of higher fuel mass fractions are folded on progressively smaller…

Distributed Flames in Type Ia Supernovae

In the distributed burning regime, turbulence disrupts the internal structure of the flame, and so the idea of laminar burning propagated by conduction is no longer valid. The nature of the burning depends on the turbulent Damkohler number (Da), which steadily declines from much greater than one to less that one as the density decreases to a few 10^6 g/cc. Scaling arguments predict that the turbulent flame speed s, normalized by the turbulent intensity u, follows s/u=Da^1/2 for Da<1. The flame in this regime is a single turbulently-broadened structure that moves at a steady speed, and has a wi…

The formation of type Ia supernovae from carbon-oxygen-silicon white dwarfs

The carbon-oxygen white dwarf (CO WD) + He star channel has been thought to be one of the promising scnarios to produce young type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). Previous studies found that if the mass-accretion rate is greater than a critical value, the He-accreting CO WD will undergo inwardly propagating (off-centre) carbon ignition when it increases its mass close to the Chandrasekhar limit. The inwardly propagating carbon flame was supposed to reach the centre by previous works, leading to the production of an oxygen-neon (ONe) WD that may collapse into a neutron star but not an SN Ia. However, i…

The Evolution towards Electron-capture Supernovae: the Flame Propagation and the Pre-bounce Electron-neutrino Radiation

A critical mass ONe core with a high ignition density is considered to end in gravitational collapse leading to neutron star formation. Being distinct from a Fe core collapse, the final evolution involves combustion flame propagation, in which complex phase transition from ONe elements into the nuclear-statistical-equilibrium (NSE) state takes place. We simulate the core evolution from the O+Ne ignition until the bounce shock penetrates the whole core, using a state-of-the-art 1D Lagrangian neutrino-radiation-hydrodynamic code, in which important nuclear burning, electron capture, and neutrino…

Electron Capture Supernovae of Super-AGB Stars: Sensitivity on Input Physics

Stars of $\sim$ 8 - 10 $M_{\odot}$ on the main-sequence form strongly electron-degenerate O+Ne+Mg core and become super-AGB stars. If such an O+Ne+Mg core grows to 1.38 $M_\odot$, electron captures on $^{20}$Ne$(e,ν_e)^{20}$F$(e,ν_e)^{20}$O take place and ignite O-Ne deflagration around the center. In this paper, we perform two-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations of the propagation of the O-Ne flame to see whether such a flame induces a collapse of the O+Ne+Mg core due to subsequent electron capture behind the flame or triggers a thermonuclear explosion. We present a series of models to expl…

Do electron-capture supernovae make neutron stars? First multidimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the oxygen deflagration

In the classical picture, electron-capture supernovae and the accretion-induced collapse of oxygen-neon white dwarfs (ONeWDs) undergo an oxygen deflagration phase before gravitational collapse produces a neutron star (NS). These types of core collapse events are postulated to explain several astronomical phenomena. In this work, the deflagration phase is simulated for the first time using multidimensional hydrodynamics, with the aim of gaining new insight into the explosive deaths of $8-10~M_\odot$ stars and ONeWDs that accrete material from a binary companion star. The main aim is to determin…
