大质量黑洞双星的恒星硬化:宿主旋转的影响

Stellar hardening of massive black hole binaries: the impact of the host rotation

摘要:

大质量黑洞双星(MBHB)的质量约为太阳质量的10^4 ~ 10^10倍,是目前运行和即将建立的星载引力波观测站的主要观测目标之一。在本文中,我们探讨了恒星的主机旋转的约束二进制硬化效率的影响,驱动三体恒星相互作用。正如在以前的研究中所看到的,我们发现,嵌入在旋转环境中的一个旋转的MBHB的质心(CoM)开始移动后不久,MBHB绑定系统的中心附近的一个近圆形的轨道。在我们的运行中,振荡半径约为0.25(约0.1)倍的二元影响半径的质量相等的MBHB(MBHB与质量比1:4)。相反,逆行双星仍然锚定在主机的中心。当二进制CoM表现出净轨道运动时,二进制收缩率是两倍,这是由于即使在我们的球形恒星系统中也有更有效的损失锥再填充。我们开发了一个模型,捕捉CoM振荡的双星系,我们认为,CoM角动量增益每时间单位的规模与内部的二进制角动量,使大部分的位移是由恒星之间的相互作用引起的MBHB绑定的时间周围发生,而随后的角动量增强最终被撤销的动态摩擦的影响。背景旋转对MBHB演化的影响可能与LISA源有关,LISA源预计将在显着旋转的恒星系统中形成。

英文摘要:

Massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with masses of ~ 10^4 to ~ 10^10 of solar masses are one of the main targets for currently operating and forthcoming space-borne gravitational wave observatories. In this paper, we explore the effect of the stellar host rotation on the bound binary hardening efficiency, driven by three-body stellar interactions. As seen in previous studies, we find that the centre of mass (CoM) of a prograde MBHB embedded in a rotating environment starts moving on a nearly circular orbit about the centre of the system shortly after the MBHB binding. In our runs, the oscillation radius is approximately 0.25 ( approximately 0.1) times the binary influence radius for equal mass MBHBs (MBHBs with mass ratio 1:4). Conversely, retrograde binaries remain anchored about the centre of the host. The binary shrinking rate is twice as fast when the binary CoM exhibits a net orbital motion, owing to a more efficient loss cone repopulation even in our spherical stellar systems. We develop a model that captures the CoM oscillations of prograde binaries; we argue that the CoM angular momentum gain per time unit scales with the internal binary angular momentum, so that most of the displacement is induced by stellar interactions occurring around the time of MBHB binding, while the subsequent angular momentum enhancement gets eventually quashed by the effect of dynamical friction. The effect of the background rotation on the MBHB evolution may be relevant for LISA sources, that are expected to form in significantly rotating stellar systems.
