中子星合并的热方面

Thermal aspects of neutron star mergers

Peter Hammond, Ian Hawke, Nils Andersson

摘要:

为了从中子星合并信号中提取最大的信息,包括引力和电磁信号,我们需要确保我们的理论模型/数值模拟忠实地代表所涉及的极端物理学。这涉及一系列问题,有限温度效应调节许多相关现象。作为理解这些问题的一步,我们探索的条件$β$ -平衡中子星物质的密度和温度达到一个二元中子星合并。使用我们的平衡合并模拟的结果,我们考虑如何不同的概念的平衡可能会影响合并动态,提出的问题时,试图在未来的模拟考虑这些条件。这些问题既是计算性的,也是概念性的。我们表明,在我们的情况下,软化的状态方程在一些密度区域,和组合物的变化,影响依赖于偏离平衡的过程,如体积粘度,无论是在幅度和平衡的时间尺度固有的相关的一组反应。我们还证明,由于依赖于中微子吸收,很难准确地确定哪些平衡条件与物质的哪些区域相关,这进一步使恢复物质平衡的反应的计算复杂化。

英文摘要:

In order to extract maximal information from neutron-star merger signals, both gravitational and electromagnetic, we need to ensure that our theoretical models/numerical simulations faithfully represent the extreme physics involved. This involves a range of issues, with the finite temperature effects regulating many of the relevant phenomena. As a step towards understanding these issues, we explore the conditions for $β$-equilibrium in neutron star matter for the densities and temperatures reached in a binary neutron star merger. Using the results from our out-of-equilibrium merger simulation, we consider how different notions of equilibrium may affect the merger dynamics, raising issues that arise when attempting to account for these conditions in future simulations. These issues are both computational and conceptual. We show that the effects lead to, in our case, a softening of the equation of state in some density regions, and to composition changes that affect processes that rely on deviation from equilibrium, such as bulk viscosity, both in terms of the magnitude and the equilibration timescales inherent to the relevant set of reactions. We also demonstrate that it is difficult to determine exactly which equilibrium conditions are relevant in which regions of the matter due to the dependence on neutrino absorption, further complicating the calculation of the reactions that work to restore the matter to equilibrium.
