利用宽双星改进白矮星初末质量关系的约束条件

Improved Constraints on the Initial-to-Final Mass Relation of White Dwarfs using Wide Binaries

Manuel Barrientos, Julio Chanamé

摘要:

我们提出了观测约束的初始到最终的质量关系(IFMR)来自11个白矮星(WD)的宽双星(WB),包含一个turnoff/亚巨星的主要。由于WBs的组分是同时代的,可以很好地近似,WD祖先的年龄可以从它的广泛的同伴的研究确定。然而,以前的作品,使用WB约束IFMR遭受了很大的不确定性,在初始质量,因为他们的MS原色是很难年龄日期具有良好的精度。我们选择的WB与轻微演变的小学避免了这个问题,限制到一个区域的参数空间等时线年龄显着更容易确定精度。我们最初选择的两个双星的WD被发现是紧密的双简并,并没有在IFMR分析中使用。我们得到了更精确的约束比现有的质量范围1-2 M $_{\odot}$,对应于以前约束较差的区域的IFMR。在引入了turnoff/subgiant-WD双星的使用之后,IFMR的研究不再受到初始质量精度的限制,但现在的压力是最终质量,即,WD的质量。从完整的数据集来看,我们的结果表明,在低初始质量下,IFMR的分散性相对较大。为了解决这个问题,有必要更精确地确定我们目标的WD成分的质量。

英文摘要:

We present observational constraints for the initial-to-final mass relation (IFMR) derived from 11 white dwarfs (WDs) in wide binaries (WBs) that contain a turnoff/subgiant primary. Because the components of WBs are coeval to a good approximation, the age of the WD progenitor can be determined from the study of its wide companion. However, previous works that used WBs to constrain the IFMR suffered from large uncertainties in the initial masses because their MS primaries are difficult to age-date with good precision. Our selection of WBs with slightly evolved primaries avoids this problem by restricting to a region of parameter space where isochrone ages are significantly easier to determine with precision. The WDs of two of our originally selected binaries were found to be close double degenerates, and are not used in the IFMR analysis. We obtained more precise constraints than existing ones in the mass range 1-2 M$_{\odot}$, corresponding to a previously poorly constrained region of the IFMR. Having introduced the use of turnoff/subgiant-WD binaries, the study of the IFMR is not limited anymore by the precision in initial mass, but now the pressure is on final mass, i.e., the mass of the WD today. Looking at the full dataset, our results would suggest a relatively large dispersion in the IFMR at low initial masses. More precise determinations of the mass of the WD components of our targets are necessary for settling this question.
