疏散星团中白矮星的包绕演化研究

Ensemble Evolutionary Studies of White Dwarfs in Open Star Clusters

Kurtis A. Williams

摘要:

疏散星团中的白矮星(WD)是非常有用的恒星系综。虽然许多研究人员使用疏散星团WD来研究初始-最终质量关系,但这一恒星样本也使许多其他演化研究成为可能,包括搜索随机质量损失,研究双星演化以及测量金属丰度对WD形成和演化的影响。然而,它是至关重要的,使用天体测量数据,如自行删除污染领域的WD从疏散星团样本;多历元地面成像是需要大多数疏散星团WD。此外,必须考虑在初始质量-最终质量平面的强相关误差,我们说明了这一考虑的重要性,使用一个大的疏散星团WD样本和蒙特卡罗技术。

英文摘要:

White dwarfs (WDs) in open star clusters are a highly useful ensemble of stars. While numerous researchers use open cluster WDs to study the initial-final mass relation, numerous other evolutionary studies are also enabled by this sample of stars, including searches for stochastic mass loss, studies of binary star evolution, and measurements of metallicity impacts on WD formation and evolution. However, it is crucial to use astrometric data such as proper motions to remove contaminating field WDs from open cluster samples; multi-epoch ground based imaging is needed for most open cluster WDs. Also, the strongly correlated errors in the initial mass - final mass plane must be considered; we illustrate the importance of this consideration using a large open cluster WD sample and Monte Carlo techniques.
