An analysis of observational data shows that, in most cases,Wolf–Rayet (WR) stars in known WR+ OB binary systems were formed as a result of mass transfer in initial OB + OB systems, rather than through radial mass loss by the more massive OB star via its stellar wind.  相似文献

We have undertaken a statistical study of the component mass ratios and the orbital eccentricities of WR + O close binary, detached main-sequence (DMS), contact early-type (CE), and semidetached (SD) systems. A comparison of the characteristics of WR + O systems and of DMS, CE, and SD systems has enabled us to draw certain conclusions about the evolutionary paths of WR + O binaries and to demonstrate that up to 90% of all known WR + O binaries formed as a result of mass transfer in massive close O + O binary systems. Since there is a clear correlation between the component masses in SD systems with subgiants, the absence of an anticorrelation between the masses of the WR stars and O stars in WR + O binaries cannot be considered evidence against the formation of WR + O binaries via mass transfer. The spectroscopic transitional orbital period P tr sp corresponding to the transition from nearly circular orbits (e sp<0.1) to elliptical orbits (e sp≥0.1) is ~14d for WR + O systems and ~2d–3d for OB + OB systems. The period range in which all WR + O orbits are circular \((1\mathop d\limits_. 6 \leqslant P \leqslant 14^d )\) is close to the range for SD systems with subgiants, \(0\mathop d\limits_. 7 \leqslant P \leqslant 15^d \). The large difference between the P tr sp values for WR + O and OB + OB systems suggests that a mechanism of orbit circularization additional to that for OB + OB systems at the DMS stage (tidal dissipation of the orbital energy due to radiative damping of the dynamical tides) acts in WR + O binaries. It is natural to suggest mass transfer in the parent O + O binaries as this supplementary orbit-circularization mechanism. Since the transitional period between circular and elliptical orbits for close binaries with convective envelopes and ages of 5×109 years is \(P_{tr} = 12\mathop d\limits_. 4\), the orbits of most known SD systems with subgiants had enough time to circularize during the DMS stage, prior to the mass transfer. Thus, for most SD systems, mass transfer plays a secondary role in circularization of their orbits.In many cases, the initial orbital eccentricities of the O + O binary progenitors of WR + O systems are preserved, due to the low viscosity of the O-star envelopes and the short timescale for their nuclear evolution until the primary O star fills its Roche lobe and the mass transfer begins. The mass transfer in the parent O + O systems is short-lived, and the number of orbital cycles during the early mass-transfer stage is relatively low (lower than for the progenitors of SD systems by three or four orders of magnitude). The continued transfer of mass from the less massive to the more massive star after the component masses have become equal leads to the formation of a WR + O system, and the orbit's residual eccentricity increases to the observed value. The increase of the orbital eccentricity is also facilitated by variable radial mass loss via the wind from the WR star in the WR + O system during its motion in the elliptical orbit. The result is that WR + O binaries can have considerable orbital eccentricities, despite their intense mass transfer. For this reason, the presence of appreciable eccentricities among WR + O binaries with large orbital periods cannot be considered firm evidence against mass transfer in the parent O + O binary systems. Only for the WR + O binaries with the longest orbital periods (4 of 35 known systems, or 11 %) can the evolution of the parent O + O binaries occur without filling of the Roche lobe by the primary O star, being governed by radial outflow in the form of the stellar wind and possibly by the LBV phenomenon, as in the case of HD 5980.  相似文献

The motion of stars in close binary systems with conservative mass transfer is considered. It is shown that the Paczynski-Huang model that is currently used to determine the variations of the semimajor axis of the relative orbit of the stars is not correct, and leads to large errors in the derived semi-major axis. A new model is proposed, suitable for elliptical stellar orbits. The reaction forces and gravitational forces between the stars and the stream of overflowing matter are taken into account. The possibility of mass transfer in the presence of an accretion disk is considered.  相似文献

We have found that the well-known rule for the distance between the stars to increase or decrease during conservative mass transfer in close binary systems is not valid. We use the equations of Mestschersky to study the evolution of the relative orbits of the stars.  相似文献

Individual probability-density distributions for the masses of compact objects in 20 X-ray binary systems have been constructed. The mass distributions were modeled using Monte-Carlo simulations. The closeness of the components in systems with massive optical stars was taken into account using K corrections. The parameters of the resulting black-hole mass distributions were obtained using nonparametric statistical methods. The presence of a statistically significant mass gap in the range 3–5M is confirmed. The currently observed probability-density distributions of the compact-object masses are stable against small amounts of data contamination.  相似文献

We consider the evolution of binary systems formed by a Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) residing in the center of a galaxy or a globular cluster and a star in its immediate vicinity. The star is assumed to fill its Roche lobe, and the SMBH accretes primarily the matter of this star. The evolution of such a system is mainly determined by the same processes as for an ordinary binary. The main differences are that the donor star is irradiated by hard radiation emitted during accretion onto the SMBH; in a detached system, nearly all the donor wind is captured by the black hole, which strongly affects the evolution of the semi-major axis; it is not possible for companions of the most massive SMBHs to fill their Roche lobes, since the corresponding orbital separations are smaller than the radius of the last stable orbit in the gravitational field of the SMBH. Moreover, there may not be efficient exchange between the orbital angular momentum and the angular momentum of the overflowing matter in such systems. Our computations assumed that, if the characteristic timescale for mass transfer is smaller than the thermal timescale of the star, no momentum exchange occurs. Absorption of incident external radiation in the stellar envelope was treated using the same formalism that was used when computing the radiative transfer in the stellar atmosphere. Numerical simulations show that Roche-lobe overflow is possible for a broad range of initial system parameters. The evolution of semi-detached systems containing a star and a SMBH nearly always ends with the dynamical disruption of the star. Stars with masses close to the solar mass are destroyed immediately after they fill their Roche lobes. During the accretion of matter of disrupted stars, the SMBH can achieve quasar luminosities. If the SMBH accretes ambient gas as well as gas stripped from stars, the star is subject to additional radiation in the detached phase of its evolution, strengthening its stellar wind. This leads to an increase of the semi-major axis and subsequent decrease of the probability of Roche-lobe overflow during the subsequent evolution of the system.  相似文献

Formation of planets during the evolution of single and binary stars   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Current views of the origin and evolution of single and binary stars suggest that the planets can form aroundmain-sequence single and binary stars, degenerate dwarfs, neutron stars, and stellarmass black holes according to several scenarios. Planets can arise during the formation of a star mainly due to excess angular momentum leading to the formation of an accretion-decretion disk of gas and dust around a single star or the components of a binary. It is the evolution of such disks that gives rise to planetary systems. A disk can arise around a star during its evolution due to the accretion of matter from dense interstellar clouds of gas and dust onto the star, the accretion of mass froma companion in a binary system, and the loss of matter during the contraction of a rapidly rotating star, in particular, if the star rotates as a rigid body and the rotation accelerates with its evolution along the main sequence. The fraction of stars with planetary systems is theoretically estimated as 30–40%, which is close to the current observational estimate of ∼34%.  相似文献

We consider mass exchange in close binaries containing low-mass, fully convective components on the dynamical time scale. We present the results of three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of this process in close binaries contracting onto the main sequence (binary pre-MS stars). Our results suggest that some systems with superplanets could be formed by this process, which could be considered a special type of binary star. We have determined the ranges of the relative donor masses that allow the merger of the binary components and the formation of systems with superplanets or the survival of the binary during the mass exchange. These process should result in a deficit of binaries with similar component masses.  相似文献

We have modeled the dynamical evolution of small stellar groups with N=6 components in the framework of the gravitational N-body problem, taking into account possible mergers of stars and ejection of single and binary stars. We study the influence of the initial global parameters of the systems (the mass spectrum, average size, virial factor) on their dynamical evolution. The distribution over states is analyzed for a time equal to 300 initial crossing times of the system. The parameters of binary and stable triple systems that form are studied, as well as the properties of ejected single and binary stars. The rate of dynamical evolution in both expanding and contracting groups is higher than in systems in a state of virial equilibrium. The dynamical evolution is more intense in the case of unequal masses than when the system initially consists of equal-mass stars. In most cases, the evolution of a group ends with the formation of a binary or stable triple system. The semimajor axes of the binaries range from several hundredths to several times the initial size of the system. The distribution of the eccentricities of the binaries formed is consistent with an f(e)=2e law. When the initial size of the group is small, the number of final binaries with large eccentricities, and also of stable triple systems with elongated inner-binary orbits, decreases due to merging. As a rule, stable triple systems are substantially hierarchical (the average ratio of the semimajor axes of the inner and outer binaries is 1: 20). On average, the eccentricities of the inner binaries exceed those of the outer binaries: they are equal to \(\overline {e_{in} } \approx 0.7\) and \(\overline {e_{ex} } \approx 0.5\), respectively. The velocities of ejected stars are from several to several tens of km/s, and tend to increase as the initial size of the system, and hence its virial coefficient, decreases.  相似文献

Usingthe “Scenario Machine” (a specialized numerical code formodeling the evolution of large ensembles of binary systems), we have studied the physical properties of rapidly rotating main-sequence binary stars (Be stars) with white-dwarf companions and their abundance in the Galaxy. The calculations are the first to take into account the cooling of the compact object and the effect of synchronization of the rotation on the evolution of Be stars in close binaries. The synchronization time scale can be shorter than the main-sequence lifetime of a Be star formed during the first mass transfer. This strongly influences the distribution of orbital periods for binary Be stars. In particular, it can explain the observed deficit of short-period Be binaries. According to our computations, the number of binary systems in the Galaxy containing a Be star and white dwarf is large: 70–80% of all Be stars in binaries should have degenerate dwarf companions. Based on our calculations, we conclude that the compact components in these systems have high surface temperatures. Despite their high surface temperatures, the detection of white dwarfs in such systems is hampered by the fact that the entire orbit of the white dwarf is embedded in the dense circumstellar envelope of the primary, and all the extreme-UV and soft X-ray emission of the compact object is absorbed by the Be star’s envelope. It may be possible to detect the white dwarfs via observations of helium emission lines of Be stars of not very early spectral types. The ultraviolet continuum energies of these stars are not sufficient to produce helium line emission. We also discuss numerical results for Be stars with other evolved companions, such as helium stars and neutron stars, and suggest an explanation for the absence of Be-black-hole binaries.  相似文献

Under certain conditions, stars close to intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) can form close binary systems with these objects, in which the Roche lobe can be filled by the star and intense accretion of the star’s matter onto the IMBH is possible. Recently, accreting IMBHs have been associated with hyperluminous X-ray sources (HLXs), whose X-ray luminosities can exceed 1041 erg/s. In this paper, the evolution of star—IMBH binary systems is investigated assuming that the IMBH mainly accretes the matter of its companion star, and that the presence of gas in the vicinity of the IMBH does not appreciably affect changes in the orbit of the star. The computations take into account all processes determining the evolution of ordinary binary systems, as well as the irradiation of a star by hard radiation during the accretion of its matter onto the IMBH. The absorption of external radiation in the stellar envelope was calculated applying the same formalism that is used to calculate the opacity of the stellar matter. The computations also assumed that, if the characteristic time for the mass transfer is less than the thermal time scale of the star, there is no exchange betwween the orbital angular momentum of the system and the angular momentum of the matter flowing onto the IMBH.

Numerical simulations have shown that, under these assumptions, three types of evolution are possible for such a binary system, depending on the mass of the IMBH and the star, as well as on the star’s initial distance from the IMBH. The first type ends with the destruction of the star. For low-mass main sequence (MS) stars, only this option is realized, even in the case of large initial distances from IMBH. For massive MS stars, the star is also destroyed if the mass of the IMBH is high and the initial distance of the star from the IMBH is sufficiently small.

The second type of evolution can occur for massive MS stars, which are initially located farther from the IMBH than in the first type of evolution. In this case, the massive star fills its Roche lobe during its evolutionary expansion, after which a stage of intense mass transfer begins. It is in this phase of the evolution that the star- IMBH system can manifest itself as a HLX, when its X-ray luminosity LX exceeds 1041 erg/s for a fairly long time. Numerical simulations show that the initial mass of the donor star in systems with MBH = (103?105)M must be close to ~10 M in this case. The characteristic duration of the HLX stage is 30 000–70 000 years. For smaller initial donor masses close to ~5M, LX does not reach 1041 erg/s in the stage of intense mass transfer, but can exceed 1040 erg/s. The duration of this stage of evolution is 300 000–800 000 years. A characteristic feature of this second type of evolution is an increase in the orbital period of the system over time. As a result, after a period of intense mass loss, the star “retreats” inside the Roche lobe. A remnant of the star in the form of a white dwarf is left behind, and can end up fairly far from the IMBH.

The third type of evolution can occur for massive MS stars that are initially even farther from the IMBH, as well as for massive stars that are already evolved at the initial time. In this case, conservative mass exchange in the presence of intense stellar wind leads to the star moving away from the IMBH, without filling its Roche lobe at all. For massive stars with sufficiently strong stellar winds (for example, stars with masses ~50M), the accretion rate of matter onto the IMBH in this case can reach values that are characteristic of HLXs. As in the case of the second type of evolution, the stellar remnant can remain at a fairly large distance from the IMBH.

We consider the evolutionary status of observed close binary systems containing black holes and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. When the component masses and the orbital period of a system are known, the reason for the formation of a WR star in an initial massive system of two main-sequence stars can be established. Such WR stars can form due to the action of the stellar wind from a massive OB star (MOB≥50M), conservative mass transfer between components with close initial masses, or the loss of the common envelope in a system with a large (up to ~25) initial component mass ratio. The strong impact of observational selection effects on the creation of samples of close binaries with black holes and WR stars is demonstrated. We estimate theoretical mass-loss rates for WR stars, which are essential for our understanding the observed ratio of the numbers of carbon and nitrogen WR stars in the Galaxy \(\dot M_{WR} (M_ \odot yr^{ - 1} ) = 5 \times 10^{ - 7} (M_{WR} /M_ \odot )^{1.3} \). We also estimate the minimum initial masses of the components in close binaries producing black holes and WR stars to be ~25M. The spatial velocities of systems with black holes indicate that, during the formation of a black hole from a WR star, the mass loss reaches at least several solar masses. The rate of formation of rapidly rotating Kerr black holes in close binaries in the Galaxy is ~3×10?6 yr?1. Their formation may be accompanied by a burst of gamma radiation, possibly providing clues to the nature of gamma-ray bursts. The initial distribution of the component mass ratios for close binaries is dNdq=dM2/M1 in the interval 0.04?q0≤1, suggesting a single mechanism for their formation.  相似文献

The adsorption behavior of four anionic dyes and one disperse dye in single solution and binary solutions on fly ash was investigated in order to elucidate the effect of competitive adsorption on the kinetics. The experimental findings showed that adsorption equilibriums of four anionic dyes were reached within 50 min either in the single solution or in binary mixtures. Competitive adsorption increased the time of attaining equilibrium of disperse dye. Desorption of dyes suggested the predominant adsorption mechanisms, that is, chemisorption for anionic dyes and physisorption for disperse dye. For the binary mixtures, the anionic dyes could be adsorbed preferentially on fly ash at the first stage. Second-order kinetic models fitted better to the equilibrium data of all dyes in the single solution as well as in the binary mixtures. The maximum rate constant of intraparticle diffusion and the minimum external mass transfer coefficient was found for disperse dye both in single and in binary solutions. The intraparticle diffusion constants and external mass transfer coefficients of the four anionic dyes in binary solution are similar to those obtained in single solution. The Biot number confirmed that the intraparticle diffusion was the rate-limiting step in the dye sorption process.  相似文献

The evolution of close binary systems containing Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars and black holes (BHs) is analyzed numerically. Both the stellar wind from the donor star itself and the induced stellar wind due to irradiation of the donor with hard radiation arising during accretion onto the relativistic component are considered. The mass and angular momentum losses due to the stellar wind are also taken into account at phases when the WR star fills its Roche lobe. It is shown that, if a WR star with a mass higher than ~10M fills its Roche lobe in an initial evolutionary phase, the donor star will eventually lose contact with the Roche lobe as the binary loses mass and angular momentum via the stellar wind, suggesting that the semi-detached binary will become detached. The star will remain a bright X-ray source, since the stellar wind that is captured by the black hole ensures a near-Eddington accretion rate. If the initial mass of the helium donor is below ~5M , the donor may only temporarily detach from its Roche lobe. Induced stellar wind plays a significant role in the evolution of binaries containing helium donors with initial masses of ~2M . We compute the evolution of three observed WR-BH binaries: Cyg X-3, IC 10 X-1, and NGC 300 X-1, as well as the evolution of the SS 433 binary system, which is a progenitor of such systems, under the assumption that this binary will avoid a common-envelope stage in its further evolution, as it does in its current evolutionary phase.  相似文献

We present the results of population syntheses obtained using our “scenario machine.” The mass spectra of black holes in X-ray binary systems before and after the stage of accretion from an optical companion are obtained for various evolutionary scenarios. The results of the model computations are compared to observational data. The observational data are used to estimate the fraction of a presupernova’s mass that collapses into a black hole. This model can explain the formation of low-mass (2–4M) black holes in binary systems with optical companions. We show that the number of low-mass black holes in the Galaxy is sufficiently high for them to be detected. The population-synthesis results suggest that the vast majority of low-mass black holes are formed via the accretion-induced collapse of neutron stars. The percentage of low-mass black holes in binary systems that form due to accretion-induced collapse is 2–15% of the total number of black holes in binaries, depending on the evolutionary scenario.  相似文献

We have modeled the mass transfer in the three semidetached binaries U Cep, RZ Sct, and V373 Cas taking into account radiative cooling both implicitly and explicitly. The systems have asynchronously rotating components and high mass-transfer rates of the order of 10?6M/yr; they are undergoing various stages of their evolution. An accreting star rotates asynchronously if added angular momentum is redistributed over the entire star over a time that exceeds the synchronization time. Calculations have indicated that, in the model considered, mass transfer through the point L1 is unable to desynchronize the donor star. The formation of an accretion disk and outer envelope depends on the component-mass ratio of the binary. If this ratio is of the order of unity, the flow makes a direct impact with the atmosphere of the accreting star, resulting in the formation of a small accretion disk and a relatively dense outer envelope. This is true of the disks in U Cep and V373 Cas. When the component-mass ratio substantially exceeds unity (the case in RZ Sct), the flow forms a large, dense accretion disk and less dense outer envelope. Taking into account radiative cooling both implicitly and explicitly, we show that a series of shocks forms in the envelopes of these systems.  相似文献

A star located in the close vicinity of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a galactic nucleus or a globular-cluster core could form a close binary with the SMBH, with the star possibly filling its Roche lobe. The evolution of such binary systems is studied assuming that the SMBH mainly accretes matter from the companion star and that the presence of gas in the vicinity of the SMBH does not appreciably influence variations in the star’s orbit. The evolution of the star–SMBH system is mainly determined by the same processes as those determining the evolution of ordinary binaries. The main differences are that the star is subject to an incident flux of hard radiation arising during the accretion of matter by the SMBH, and, in detached systems, the SMBH captures virtually all the wind emitted by its stellar companion, which appreciably influences the evolution of the major axis of the orbit. Moreover, the exchange between the orbital angular momentum and the angular momentum of the overflowing matter may not be entirely standard in such systems. The computations assume that there will be no such exchange of angular momentum if the characteristic timescale for mass transfer is shorter than the thermal time scale of the star. The absorption of external radiation in the stellar envelope was computed using the same formalism applied when computing the opacity of the stellar matter. The numerical simulations show that, with the adopted assumptions, three types of evolution are possible for such a binary system, depending on the masses and the initial separation of the SMBH and star. Type I evolution leads to the complete destruction of the star. Only this type of evolution is realized for low-mass main-sequence (MS) stars, even those with large initial separations from their SMBHs. Massive MS stars will also be destroyed if the initial separation is sufficiently small. However, two other types of evolution are possible for massive stars, with a determining role in the time variations of the parameters of the star–SMBH system being played by the possible growth of the massive star into a red giant during the time it is located in the close vicinity of the SMBH. Type II evolution can be realized for massive MS stars that are initially farther from the SMBH than in the case of disruption. In this case, the massive star fills its Roche lobe during its expansion, but is not fully destroyed; the star retreats inside its Roche lobe after a period of intense mass loss. This type of evolution is characterized by an increase in the orbital period of the system with time. As a result, the remnant of the star (its former core) is preserved as a white dwarf, and can end up at a fairly large distance from the SMBH. Type III evolution can be realized formassiveMSstars that are initially located still farther from their SMBHs, and also for massive stars that are already evolved at the initial time. In these cases, the star moves away from the SMBH without filling its Roche lobe, due to its intense stellar wind. The remnants of such stars can also end up at a fairly large distances from their SMBHs.  相似文献

Mass exchange in white-dwarf binary systems with mass ratios 0.35–0.55 and total masses exceeding the Chandrasekhar limit could lead to the disruption of the less massive component of the system and the formation of a torus around the more massive component.  相似文献
