辐射力矩引起的尘埃旋转扰动对大质量原恒星辐射压力反馈的影响

Effect of dust rotational disruption by radiative torques on radiation pressure feedback from massive protostars

Thiem Hoang

摘要:

尘埃上的辐射压力被认为在大质量恒星的形成过程中起着至关重要的作用,它通过作用于中心原恒星上的引力坍缩。然而,尘埃的性质在密集地区的大质量原恒星的强烈辐射照射的约束不足。以往的研究通常假设标准的星际尘埃模型来限制吸积形成的大质量恒星的最大质量,这似乎与尘埃演化理论相矛盾。本文利用恒星辐射对尘埃同时产生辐射压力和辐射力矩的事实,研究了辐射力矩(RAT)对尘埃颗粒转动扰动对辐射压力的影响,并探讨了其对大质量恒星形成的意义。在本文中,我们专注于原恒星的信封,并采用球面几何。我们发现,原来的微米大小的大颗粒,大概形成在非常密集的地区,可以迅速被打乱成小颗粒的RAT由于红外辐射从热尘埃壳附近的直接恒星辐射诱导的升华前。由于旋转破坏的尺寸分布的修改,辐射压不透明度可以从原始尘埃模型的预期值减少$\sim 3$的一个因素。然而,要通过球形吸积形成大质量恒星,尘埃与气体的质量比需要像以前发现的那样减少$\sim 5$。

英文摘要:

Radiation pressure on dust is thought to play a crucial role in the formation process of massive stars by acting against gravitational collapse onto the central protostar. However, dust properties in dense regions irradiated by the intense radiation of massive protostars are poorly constrained. Previous studies usually assume the standard interstellar dust model to constrain the maximum mass of massive stars formed by accretion, which appears to contradict with dust evolution theory. In this paper, using the fact that stellar radiation exerts on dust simultaneous radiation pressure and radiative torques, we study the effects of grain rotational disruption by radiative torques (RATs) on radiation pressure and explore its implications for massive star formation. For this paper, we focus on the protostellar envelope and adopt a spherical geometry. We find that original large grains of micron-sizes presumably formed in very dense regions can be rapidly disrupted into small grains by RATs due to infrared radiation from the hot dust shell near the sublimation front induced by direct stellar radiation. Owing to the modification in the size distribution by rotational disruption, the radiation pressure opacity can be decreased by a factor of $\sim 3$ from the value expected from the original dust model. However, to form massive stars via spherical accretion, the dust-to-gas mass ratio needs to be reduced by a factor of $\sim 5$ as previously found.
