熵校准混合长参数对恒星结构和演化及锂元素丰度的影响

The Effects of Entropy-calibration Mixing Length Parameter on Structure, Evolution, and Lithium Abundance of Stars

  • 摘要: 在传统的恒星演化研究中, 混合长参数\alpha_\rmMLT通常被设为固定值. 然而, 许多研究发现\alpha_\rmMLT不应是恒定的. 混合长参数\alpha_\rmMLT可以影响模型的绝热比熵, 而三维辐射流体动力学模拟能给出绝热比熵的值, 因此可以用来校准\alpha_\rmMLT. 利用两种模拟熵校准的\alpha_\rmMLT随恒星质量和年龄而变化. 与标准模型相比, 熵校准模型在主序早期具有更大的半径和更低的有效温度, 而在主序晚期则相反. 因此, 熵校准模型的演化轨迹与标准模型存在显著差异. 计算结果还揭示了其中一种熵函数不适用于主序前阶段, 因为它会导致锂元素的过度消耗, 与观测结果不符; 相比之下, 尽管另一种熵函数更加复杂, 但它适用于主序前阶段.

     

    Abstract: In traditional stellar evolution studies, the mixing-length parameter \alpha_\rmMLT is usually set as a fixed value. However, many studies have found that \alpha_\rmMLT should not be constant. The mixing-length parameter \alpha_\rmMLT can affect the adiabatic entropy of models, and the three-dimensional radiative hydrodynamic simulations can provide the value of adiabatic entropy. Therefore, the simulated adiabatic entropy can be used to calibrate \alpha_\rmMLT. Using two simulated entropy-calibrated models, the variation of \alpha_\rmMLT with stellar mass and age is investigated. Compared to the standard model, the entropy-calibrated model exhibits a larger radius and lower effective temperature in the early main sequence, whereas the opposite is true in the late main sequence. Consequently, the evolutionary tracks of the entropy-calibrated model differ significantly from those of the standard model. The computational results further reveal that one of the entropy functions is not applicable to the pre-main sequence phase, as it leads to excessive depletion of lithium that is inconsistent with observational data. In contrast, although the other entropy function is more complex, it is applicable to the pre-main sequence phase.
