AI总结:

本研究通过模拟不同金属丰度下主星的回转半径,发现低金属丰度相接双星系统具有更低的不稳定质量比,从而更稳定,并通过光变曲线分析验证了这一效应。

摘要:

相接双星系统的轨道稳定性近年来受到广泛关注。理论研究指出,并合可能发生在非常低的质量比处,但实际发生并合的质量比可能是可变的,并依赖于主星的质量。我们通过模拟在-1.25至+0.5范围内不同金属丰度值下旋转且受潮汐畸变的主星的回转半径,来考虑金属含量对相接双星系统轨道稳定性的影响。我们确定了主星质量在0.6M☉至1.4M☉范围内的低质量相接双星系统在不同金属丰度水平下的不稳定质量比范围,并表明低金属丰度系统的不稳定质量比低于金属含量较高的系统,因此可能更稳定。我们通过对两个除金属丰度不同外其他方面非常相似的相接双星系统的光变曲线分析来阐明这一效应。虽然如果忽略金属丰度,两者都将被视为不稳定,但在根据金属丰度进行适当调整后,只有其中一个仍属于该类别。

英文摘要:

The orbital stability of contact binary systems has been receiving considerable attention recently. Theoretical studies indicate that merger is likely to occur at very low mass ratios, but the actual mass ratio at which merger may take place is likely to be variable and dependent on the mass of the primary. We consider the effects of metal content on the orbital stability of contact binary systems by modelling the gyration radius of a rotating and tidally distorted primary component at various values of metallicity in the range -1.25 to +0.5. We determine the instability mass ratio range for contact binary systems with a low mass primary in the range 0.6M(sun) to 1.4M(sun) at various metallicity levels and show that systems with low metallicity have an instability mass ratio lower than those with higher metal content and therefore are likely to be more stable. We illustrate the effect through light curve analysis of two otherwise very similar contact binary systems, except for different metallicity. While both would be considered unstable if metallicity was not taken into consideration, only one remains in that category after appropriate adjustments based on metallicity have been made.
