对大质量恒星演化的新认识及其对我们理解早期星系的影响

New Insights into the Evolution of Massive Stars and Their Effects on Our Understanding of Early Galaxies

Jan J. Eldridge, Elizabeth R. Stanway

摘要:

年轻恒星星族的可观测特征和随后的演化是由它们的大质量恒星决定的。随着我们对这些大质量恒星以及影响它们演化的因素的理解的提高,我们对遥远的、尚未解决的恒星系统的解释也会有所进展。随着观测越来越多地探测遥远的宇宙,以及附近罕见的低金属量恒星爆发,这两个领域有机会相互补充,并导致恒星和星系的概念得到改进。在这里,我们回顾了当前的艺术状态在大质量恒星占主导地位的恒星星族的建模,并讨论其应用和解释遥远的宇宙的影响。我们的主要发现包括:-必须包括二进制的进化途径,以了解早期星系中的恒星星族。- 对早期星系极紫外光谱的观测表明,目前的模型是不完整的。目前最好的猜测是,致密的残余物上需要某种形式的吸积。- 100 Msun及以上的超大质量恒星的演化和命运可能是完全理解早期星系的关键。

英文摘要:

The observable characteristics and subsequent evolution of young stellar populations is dominated by their massive stars. As our understanding of those massive stars and the factors affecting their evolution improves, so our interpretation of distant, unresolved stellar systems can also advance. As observations increasingly probe the distant Universe, and the rare low metallicity starbursts nearby, so the opportunity arises for these two fields to complement one another, and lead to an improved conception of both stars and galaxies. Here we review the current state of the art in modelling of massive star dominated stellar populations, and discuss their applications and implications for interpreting the distant Universe. Our principle findings include: - Binary evolutionary pathways must be included to understand the stellar populations in early galaxies. - Observations constraining the extreme ultraviolet spectrum of early galaxies are showing that current models are incomplete. The best current guess is that some form of accretion onto compact remnants is required. - The evolution and fates of very massive stars, of the order of 100Msun and above, may be key to fully understand aspects of early galaxies.
