AI总结:

本文通过MESA代码研究PSR J1012+5307的形成,发现对流与旋转增强MB和'Intermediate' MB模型能重现观测参数,但模拟有效温度偏高,长冷却时标或可缓解此差异。

摘要:

PSR J1012+5307是一颗毫秒脉冲星,伴星为一颗极低质量(ELM)白矮星(WD),轨道周期为14.5小时。磁制动(MB)在影响具有低质量($\lt 1-2~M_{\odot}$)伴星的双星系统轨道演化中起重要作用。目前存在几种不同的MB描述。本文中,我们研究PSR J1012+5307的形成,作为探针来测试可能的MB模型。采用MESA代码的详细恒星演化模型,我们发现对流与旋转增强MB模型和'Intermediate' MB模型能够重现PSR J1012+5307中观测到的WD质量、WD半径、WD表面重力、中子星质量和轨道周期。然而,我们模拟的WD有效温度高于观测值。包括标准MB模型在内的其他三种MB机制太弱,无法在哈勃时间内解释观测到的轨道周期。由WD的H壳层闪烁引起的长冷却时标可能会缓解模拟有效温度与观测值之间的差异。

英文摘要:

PSR J1012+5307 is a millisecond pulsar with an extremely low-mass (ELM) white dwarf (WD) companion in an orbit of 14.5 hours. Magnetic braking (MB) plays an important role in influencing the orbital evolution of binary systems with a low-mass ($\lt 1-2~M_{\odot}$) donor star. At present, there exist several different MB descriptions. In this paper, we investigate the formation of PSR J1012+5307 as a probe to test the plausible MB model. Employing a detailed stellar evolution model by the MESA code, we find that the Convection And Rotation Boosted MB and the 'Intermediate' MB models can reproduce the WD mass, WD radius, WD surface gravity, neutron-star mass, and orbital period observed in PSR J1012+5307. However, our simulated WD has higher effective temperature than the observation. Other three MB mechanisms including the standard MB model are too weak to account for the observed orbital period in a Hubble time. A long cooling timescale caused by H-shell flashes of the WD may alleviate the discrepancy between the simulated effective temperature and the observed value.
