摘要:

在密集环境中,通过三颗未束缚恒星之间的三重相遇形成双星(即“三体”双星形成)是双星系统的主要动力学形成过程之一。本文采用解析概率方法研究等质量情况下的该过程,计算三体形成双星的轨道参数概率分布及其形成率。首次给出完整轨道参数分布的闭式解析表达式,同时考虑能量和角动量守恒。该计算依赖于三体散射结果对初始条件的敏感依赖性:我们从遍历相互作用中计算三体双星的形成率,从而允许解析推导由此产生的双星轨道参数分布。研究发现,此过程中软双星极占优势,且这些双星具有超热偏心率分布,而少数硬三体双星的偏心率分布更接近热分布。解析结果能很好地预测并重现文献中三体散射实验的结果。

英文摘要:

Binary formation in clusters through triple encounters between three unbound stars, 'three-body' binary formation, is one of the main dynamical formation processes of binary systems in dense environments. In this paper, we use an analytical probabilistic approach to study the process for the equal mass case and calculate a probability distribution for the orbital parameters of three-body-formed binaries, as well as their formation rate. For the first time, we give closed-form analytical expressions to the full orbital parameter distribution, accounting for both energy and angular momentum conservation. This calculation relies on the sensitive dependence of the outcomes of three-body scatterings on the initial conditions: here we compute the rate of three-body binaries from ergodic interactions, which allow for an analytical derivation of the distribution of orbital parameters of the binaries thus created. We find that soft binaries are highly favoured in this process and that these binaries have a super-thermal eccentricity distribution, while the few hard three-body binaries have an eccentricity distribution much closer to thermal. The analytical results predict and reproduce simulation results of three-body scattering experiments in the literature well.
