AI总结:

本文利用大涡模拟代码MHDuet研究磁化黑洞-中子星并合,揭示吸积盘形成过程中开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性驱动磁场在约20毫秒内从10^11 G放大至超过10^14 G,并指出当前分辨率仍不足以证明磁场增长收敛。

摘要:

LIGO-Virgo-Kagra合作组已观测到与黑洞-中子星并合相一致的引力波事件,即GW200105和GW200115,为这类灾难性事件提供了证据。尽管这两个事件均未报告有电磁对应体,但在一定条件下,黑洞-中子星并合预期会形成显著的吸积盘,并产生短伽马射线暴和千新星,这与双中子星并合事件GW170817中所观测到的情形十分相似。在此,我们扩展了公开代码$\ exttt{MHDuet}$,用于数值研究磁化中子星与黑洞的并合。$\ exttt{MHDuet}$采用大涡模拟(LES)技术,以帮助捕捉并合后阶段由湍流和其他亚网格尺度动力学引起的磁场放大。特别地,我们模拟了一个参数有利于产生吸积盘的并合过程,重点关注湍流盘的形成与动力学以及由此产生的磁场放大。在潮汐瓦解之后以及吸积盘形成期间,磁场在开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性的驱动下发生显著放大,从$10^{11}\,\ m{G}$的现实初始强度在约$20\,\ m{ms}$的短时间内增强到超过$10^{14}\,\ m{G}$。尽管采用了LES技术且最高分辨率达到$120\,\ ext{m}$,属于黑洞-中子星并合模拟中的最高水平之一,但仍不足以证明磁场增长的收敛性。虽然此处LES的效应较为有限,但我们预期在更高分辨率下其效应会更加显著,正如在双中子星并合模拟中所观察到的那样。

英文摘要:

The LIGO-Virgo-Kagra collaboration has observed gravitational waves consistent with the mergers of a black hole and a neutron star, namely GW200105 and GW200115, providing evidence for such cataclysmic events. Although no electromagnetic counterpart was reported for either of these two events, under certain conditions black hole--neutron star mergers are expected to form a significant accretion disk and to produce both a short gamma ray burst and a kilonova, much as observed in the binary neutron star merger GW170817. Here, we extend our publicly available code $\texttt{MHDuet}$ to study numerically the merger of a magnetized neutron star with a black hole. $\texttt{MHDuet}$ employs Large Eddy Simulation (LES) techniques to help capture the magnetic field amplification resulting from turbulence and other sub-grid scale dynamics in the post-merger stage. In particular, we simulate a merger with parameters favorable to producing an accretion disk, focusing on the formation and dynamics of the turbulent disk and the resulting magnetic field amplification. Following the tidal disruption and during the formation of the accretion disk, the magnetic field undergoes significant amplification driven by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, reaching strengths of more than $10^{14}\,\rm{G}$ from a realistic initial strength of $10^{11}\,\rm{G}$ in short timescales of approximately $20\,\rm{ms}$. Despite employing LES techniques with a finest resolution of $120\,\text{m}$ that is among the highest in black hole-neutron star mergers, it is still insufficient to demonstrate convergence of the magnetic field growth. Although the effects of the LES are here rather modest, we expect them to be more significant at higher resolution, as observed in binary neutron star merger simulations.
