用直接Urca过程约束核对称能的高密度行为

Constraining the high-density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy with direct Urca processes

Olfa Boukari, Tuhin Malik, Aziz Rabhi, Constança Providência

AI总结:

本文在相对论平均场模型中研究对称能密度依赖性,通过修改DD2和DDMEX的同位旋通道并结合贝叶斯推断,约束中子星内直接Urca过程的开启条件,发现其最低质量对应对称能斜率大于60 MeV且倾向正的不可压缩系数。

摘要:

本文从密度依赖耦合的相对论平均场模型出发,讨论了对称能的密度依赖性,具体联系到中子星内部可能开启核子直接Urca过程,该过程会导致恒星极快地冷却。我们考虑在保持相同同位旋标量性质的前提下,修改DD2和DDMEX两个模型同位旋通道的参数化,并讨论其影响。在所讨论的模型中,如果施加手征有效场论对中子物质的约束,则质量低于约1.6倍太阳质量的恒星不可能启动核子直接Urca过程。贝叶斯推断计算进一步确认,在由DD2或DDMEX描述状态方程的同位旋标量通道且饱和点对称能相同的条件下,质量低于1.8倍太阳质量的恒星内部发生核子直接Urca过程的概率很低。允许直接Urca过程的最低恒星质量对应于对称能斜率大于60 MeV,并且最可能具有正的对称能不可压缩系数。研究表明,所提出的同位旋通道参数化破坏了此前多项工作中发现的对称能斜率与不可压缩系数之间的相关性。

英文摘要:

The density dependence of the symmetry energy in relativistic mean-field models with density dependent couplings is discussed in terms of the possible opening of nucleonic direct Urca processes inside neutron stars, which induce a very rapid cooling of the star. The modification of the parametrization of the isospin channel of two models, DD2 and DDMEX, keeping the same isoscalar properties is considered and the implications are discussed. Within the models discussed it is not possible the onset of nucleonic direct Urca processes in stars with a mass below $\sim1.6\,M_\odot$ if chiral effective field theory constraints for neutron matter are imposed. A Bayesian inference calculation confirms the low probability that nucleonic direct Urca processes occur inside stars with masses below 1.8$M_\odot$, considering the isoscalar channel of the equation of state described by DD2 or DDMEX and the same symmetry energy at saturation. The lowest masses allowing direct Urca processes are associated with a slope of the symmetry energy above $60$ MeV and most likely a positive symmetry energy incompressibility. It is shown that the parametrization of the isospin channel proposed destroys the correlation between symmetry energy slope and incompressibility previously identified in several works.
