瞬态吸积中子星的热态

Thermal state of transiently accreting neutron stars

D. G. Yakovlev, K. P. Levenfish, P. Haensel

摘要:

本文研究了瞬态吸积中子星的热态(平均吸积速率为$\dot{M} \sim 10^{-14}-10^{-9}$ M $_\odot$ yr $^{-1}$),它由吸积物质下沉到恒星内部的深地壳加热决定。我们正式这个问题的冷却中子星的问题直接对应。利用一个简单的模型,我们分析了影响吸积恒星热状态的最重要因素:低质量恒星核心中的强超流性和高质量恒星核心中的快中微子发射(在稠密物质的核子、π介子凝聚、K介子凝聚或夸克相中)。我们简要地比较了结果与软X射线瞬态静止的观察。如果将SAXJ1808.4 -3658(Campana et al.2002)中中子星的静态热光度上限与地壳深部加热联系起来,则支持直接Urca过程的核子中子星核模型。

英文摘要:

We study thermal states of transiently accreting neutron stars (with mean accretion rates $\dot{M} \sim 10^{-14}-10^{-9}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$) determined by the deep crustal heating of accreted matter sinking into stellar interiors. We formalize a direct correspondence of this problem to the problem of cooling neutron stars. Using a simple toy model we analyze the most important factors which affect the thermal states of accreting stars: a strong superfluidity in the cores of low-mass stars and a fast neutrino emission (in nucleon, pion-condensed, kaon-condensed, or quark phases of dense matter) in the cores of high-mass stars. We briefly compare the results with the observations of soft X-ray transients in quiescence. If the upper limit on the quiescent thermal luminosity of the neutron star in SAX J1808.4-3658 (Campana et al. 2002) is associated with the deep crustal heating, it favors the model of nucleon neutron-star cores with switched-on direct Urca process.
