修正引力对白矮星微观性质及冷却时标的影响

Effects of modified gravity on microscopic properties and cooling timescale of white dwarfs

Aneta Wojnar, Surajit Kalita, Lupamudra Sarmah

AI总结:

本研究首次探讨修正引力(以Ricci-based引力为例)对白矮星微观性质与冷却的影响,发现大质量白矮星冷却更快,或可解释其观测稀少及超钱德拉塞卡白矮星未被直接探测的现象。

摘要:

目前白矮星物理学中存在两个悬而未决的问题:为什么在巡天观测中较少发现大质量白矮星,以及尽管在约二十年间发现了十余颗奇特且过度明亮的Ia型超新星,却仍未发现任何超钱德拉塞卡白矮星。根据不同的研究,磁场似乎能在一定程度上解决这些问题,但稳定性仍令人担忧。我们首次研究了修正引力如何影响白矮星中电子和离子的比热、结晶过程以及冷却机制。我们以基于里奇(Ricci)的引力为例进行了论证。我们表明,大质量白矮星冷却得更快,并得出结论:这可能是除强磁场存在之外,导致发现较少大质量白矮星以及缺乏对超钱德拉塞卡白矮星直接探测的一个物理原因。

英文摘要:

There are currently two open questions in white dwarf physics: why are massive dwarfs observed less often in astronomical surveys, and why have not any super-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs been found despite the discovery of more than a dozen peculiar, overly-luminous type Ia supernovae in about a couple of decades? According to different research, magnetic fields appear to somewhat resolve these issues, but stability remains a concern. For the first time, we investigate how modified gravity affects the specific heat of electrons and ions, the crystallization process, and the cooling mechanism in white dwarfs. We demonstrate it for the Ricci-based gravity. We show that massive white dwarfs fade faster and conclude that it could be a physical reason, apart from the presence of high magnetic fields, both for finding fewer massive white dwarfs and the lack of direct detection of super-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs.
