球状星团中激变变星的性质

Properties of Cataclysmic Variables in Globular Clusters

Diogo Belloni, Liliana E. Rivera Sandoval

摘要:

星团的研究在我们对宇宙的理解中起着重要的作用,因为这些系统是测试恒星动力学和演化理论的天然实验室。特别是,球状星团(GCs)是研究奇异系统的形成和物理性质的最重要的对象之一,这反过来又提供了基本的信息和工具,可以帮助我们了解星团本身,星系和一般的年轻宇宙的形成和演化过程。GC中最有趣的天体是激变变星(CV),它们是相互作用的双星,其中包含一颗从低质量伴星吸积而来的白矮星。由于GC密度足够高,涉及双星的动力学遭遇应该是常见的,CV祖先预计会在早期阶段以某种方式受到动力学的影响。本文综述了GC中CV的形成途径以及动力学对CV群体的影响。特别是,我们回顾了最近的进展,数值模拟。此外,我们还讨论了GC中CV的观测特性以及用于识别和研究它们的技术。我们集中讨论的多波长观测进行了与HST和钱德拉上研究最好的GC NGC 6397,NGC 6752,47 Tuccenda和欧米茄半人马座;最近的光谱研究结果与MUSE,并更新有关的数量之间的相关性微弱的X射线源和集群恒星相遇率。最后,我们讨论了一些可能有助于未来研究的观测前景。

英文摘要:

The study of star clusters plays an important role in our understanding of the Universe since these systems are natural laboratories for testing theories of stellar dynamics and evolution. Particularly, globular clusters (GCs) are one of the most important objects for studying the formation and the physical nature of exotic systems which in turn provide basic information and tools that can help us to understand the formation and evolution processes of star clusters themselves, galaxies and, in general, the young Universe. Among the most interesting objects in GCs are the cataclysmic variables (CVs), which are interacting binaries harboring a white dwarf accreting from a low-mass companion. Since GC densities are sufficiently high that dynamical encounters involving binaries should be common, CV progenitors are expected to be affected by dynamics in some way in the early stages. In this article we review the formation channels and the influence of dynamics on the CV population in GCs. In particular, we review recent progress in numerical simulations. Furthermore, we discuss observational properties of CVs in GCs and the techniques used to identify and study them. We focus the discussion on the multi-wavelength observations carried out with HST and Chandra on the best-studied GCs NGC 6397, NGC 6752, 47 Tucanae and Omega Centauri; on the recent spectroscopic findings with MUSE, and on updates regarding the correlation between the number of faint X-ray sources and the cluster stellar encounter rate. Finally, we discuss some observational prospects that might potentially help future investigations.
