摘要:

在这项工作中,我们调查的不确定性,由于对流边界混合(CBM),通常被称为“超调”,即边界位置和混合量在对流边界,恒星结构和演化的影响。为此,我们计算了两个网格的恒星演化模型与MESA程序,每个与勒杜和史瓦西边界标准,并改变CBM的量。我们用初始质量$15$、$20$和$25\,\rm{M}_\odot$计算每个网格。我们提出的恒星结构的模型在氢和氦燃烧阶段。在后者中,我们研究了对核合成的影响。我们发现,扩大的主序列与更多的煤层气,这是更符合观测。此外,在核心氢燃烧阶段有一个收敛的对流边界位置由于煤层气。中间对流区的不确定性消除了这种辐合。该对流区的行为强烈影响模型的表面演化,即它向红方向演化的速度。CBM的量影响对流核心的大小和核合成,例如$^{12}$ C与$^{16}$ O的比率和弱s过程。最后,我们确定的不确定性的参数值的范围内调查介绍,我们发现差异高达$70\%$的核心质量和总质量的恒星。

英文摘要:

In this work, we investigate the impact of uncertainties due to convective boundary mixing (CBM), commonly called `overshoot', namely the boundary location and the amount of mixing at the convective boundary, on stellar structure and evolution. For this we calculated two grids of stellar evolution models with the MESA code, each with the Ledoux and the Schwarzschild boundary criterion, and vary the amount of CBM. We calculate each grid with the initial masses $15$, $20$ and $25\,\rm{M}_\odot$. We present the stellar structure of the models during the hydrogen and helium burning phases. In the latter, we examine the impact on the nucleosynthesis. We find a broadening of the main-sequence with more CBM, which is more in agreement with observations. Furthermore during the core hydrogen burning phase there is a convergence of the convective boundary location due to CBM. The uncertainties of the intermediate convective zone remove this convergence. The behaviour of this convective zone strongly affects the surface evolution of the model, i.e. how fast it evolves red-wards. The amount of CBM impacts the size of the convective cores and the nucleosynthesis, e.g. the $^{12}$C to $^{16}$O ratio and the weak s-process. Lastly, we determine the uncertainty that the range of parameter values investigated introduce and we find differences of up to $70\%$ for the core masses and the total mass of the star.
