AI总结:

本研究提出双发电机形式化框架的磁制动模型,重现了CV的周期空隙与最小周期尖峰,解释了演化CV向AM CVn星的转变及公共包层演化,并统一阐明了低质量恒星的自旋减慢现象。

摘要:

我们展示了使用我们的双发电机(DD)形式化框架研究激变变星和AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) 星通过磁制动产生角动量损失的结果。我们表明:(1) 我们的MB模型重现了CV分布中的周期空隙($2\lesssim P_\mathrm{orb}/\\,\mathrm{hr}\lesssim3$)和最小周期尖峰($P_\mathrm{orb}\approx 80\\, \mathrm{min}$);(2) 演化的CV,即伴星在接近或刚好越过主序末期开始洛希瓣溢出,分布在周期空隙及其以外的区域,并且更可能在 $P_\mathrm{orb}\geq 5.5 \\,\mathrm{hr}$ 时被探测到。这污染了长周期CV伴星的质量-半径拟合。我们表明 (3) 几个演化的CV变成了 $10\lesssim P_\mathrm{orb}/\\,\mathrm{min}\lesssim 65$ 的AM CVn星。它们的演化由 $\mathrm{AML_{MB}}$ 和引力辐射产生的AML(GR,$\mathrm{AML_{GR}}$)驱动,使其极度氢耗尽,以至于在光谱中缺乏氢方面,无法与通过He星和白矮星(WD)通道形成的AM CVn星区分开来。我们进一步表明 (4) 由于存在显著的辐射区,作为通过He星通道形成的AM CVn星的前身星,中等质量巨星/亚巨星可能经历不表现为经典行为的公共包层演化;(5) 几个具有极度膨胀伴星的AM CVn系统,如Gaia14aae、ZTFJ1637+49和SRGeJ045359.9+622444,如果仅用 $\mathrm{AML_{GR}}$ 对这些系统进行建模,则不匹配任何模型轨迹;(6) MB中的不确定性极大地影响了建模结果。这反过来影响了我们区分不同AM CVn形成通道及其相对重要性的努力。最后,我们发现 (7) 类似的MB规定也解释了单低质量恒星的自旋减慢。

英文摘要:

We present the results of the study of cataclysmic variables (CVs) and AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) stars with our double dynamo (DD) formalism of angular momentum loss (AML) by magnetic braking (MB). We show that (1) our MB model reproduces the period gap ($2\lesssim P_\mathrm{orb}/\,\mathrm{hr}\lesssim3$) and the period minimum spike ($P_\mathrm{orb}\approx 80\, \mathrm{min}$) in CV distribution, (2) evolved CVs, where the donor star commences Roche lobe overflow (RLOF) close to or just beyond the end of the main-sequence, populate the region in and beyond the period gap, and are more likely to be detected at $P_\mathrm{orb}\geq 5.5 \,\mathrm{hr}$. This contaminates the mass-radius fit of long-period CV donors. We show that (3) several evolved CVs become AM CVn stars with $10\lesssim P_\mathrm{orb}/\,\mathrm{min}\lesssim 65$. Their evolution, driven by $\mathrm{AML_{MB}}$ and AML by gravitational radiation (GR, $\mathrm{AML_{GR}}$), leaves them extremely H-exhausted to the point of being indistinguishable from AM CVn stars formed via the He-star and the White Dwarf (WD) channels in terms of the absence of H in their spectra. We further show that (4) owing to the presence of a significant radiative region, intermediate-mass giants/sub-giants, which are progenitors of AM CVn stars formed through the He-star channel, may undergo common envelope evolution that does not behave classically, (5) several AM CVn systems with extremely bloated donors, such as Gaia14aae, ZTFJ1637+49 and SRGeJ045359.9+622444 do not match any modelled trajectories if these systems are modelled only with $\mathrm{AML_{GR}}$, (6) the uncertainties in MB greatly affect modelling results. This, in turn, affects our efforts to distinguish between different AM CVn formation channels and their relative importance. Finally, we find that (7) a similar MB prescription also explains the spin-down of single, low-mass stars.
