摘要:

星团的形成是通过分子云内部的恒星形成集群来实现的。为了理解星团在早期阶段的动力学演化,其中星团仍然嵌入在周围的气体中,我们需要精确地整合单个恒星轨道,而不需要在包括气体和恒星的系统中进行引力软化,以及用真实的质量函数对单个恒星进行建模。我们开发了一个新的树直接混合光滑粒子流体动力学/N体代码,ASURA+BRIDGE,其中恒星集成使用直接N体计划或PeTar,粒子粒子树计划代码,没有引力软化。在ASURA+BRIDGE中,假设恒星的质量是从给定的初始质量函数中随机抽取的。用这个程序,我们从分子云开始模拟没有引力软化的团簇形成。我们发现,当我们不使用软化时,星团中心由于软化而产生的人造致密核消失了。我们进一步证明,星团是通过合并较小的团块。在我们的模拟中形成的星团包括一些动态形成的双星,其最小半长轴为几个天文单位,并且对于更大质量的恒星,双星比例更高。

英文摘要:

Star clusters form via clustering star formation inside molecular clouds. In order to understand the dynamical evolution of star clusters in their early phase, in which star clusters are still embedded in their surrounding gas, we need an accurate integration of individual stellar orbits without gravitational softening in the systems including both gas and stars, as well as modeling individual stars with a realistic mass function. We develop a new tree-direct hybrid smoothed particle hydrodynamics/N-body code, ASURA+BRIDGE, in which stars are integrated using a direct N-body scheme or PeTar, a particle-particle particle-tree scheme code, without gravitational softening. In ASURA+BRIDGE, stars are assumed to have masses randomly drawn from a given initial mass function. With this code, we perform star-cluster formation simulations starting from molecular clouds without gravitational softening. We find that artificial dense cores in star-cluster centers due to the softening disappear when we do not use softening. We further demonstrate that star clusters are built up via mergers of smaller clumps. Star clusters formed in our simulations include some dynamically formed binaries with the minimum semi-major axes of a few au, and the binary fraction is higher for more massive stars.
