北冕R星(RCB)是一种极度缺乏氢的碳星,会产生大量的尘埃,导致亮度突然急剧下降。它们被认为主要是由白矮星合并形成的。在本文中,我们使用emesa研究了合并后的天体,其初始he燃烧壳温度范围为2.1至5.4 × 108K,具有太阳和亚太阳金属丰度,如何演变成RCB恒星。其中最成功的模型具有亚太阳金属丰度,初始温度接近3 × 108K。我们发现,CNO循环中元素的表面丰度,以及rcb的有效温度和半径的差异,与初始he燃烧壳温度有很大的关系。在10%太阳金属丰度模型中,参与核合成的元素表面丰度降低了约1个指数,但详细讨论的碳和锂除外。具有亚太阳金属丰度的模型也表现出比太阳模型更长的寿命。此外,我们发现燃烧物质的对流混合只发生在合并后的最初几年,之后的表面丰度在RCB阶段和之后是恒定的,这为为什么这些恒星显示出部分he燃烧产物的强烈增强提供了证据。
The R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars are extremely hydrogen-deficient carbon stars that produce large amounts of dust, causing sudden deep declines in brightness. They are believed to be formed primarily through white dwarf mergers. In this paper, we usemesato investigate how post-merger objects with a range of initial He-burning shell temperatures from 2.1 to 5.4 × 108K with solar and subsolar metallicities evolve into RCB stars. The most successful model of these has subsolar metallicity and an initial temperature near 3 × 108K. We find a strong dependence on initial He-burning shell temperature for surface abundances of elements involved in the CNO cycle, as well as differences in effective temperature and radius of RCBs. Elements involved in nucleosynthesis present around 1 dex diminished surface abundances in the 10 per cent solar metallicity models, with the exception of carbon and lithium that are discussed in detail. Models with subsolar metallicities also exhibit longer lifetimes than their solar counterparts. Additionally, we find that convective mixing of the burned material occurs only in the first few years of post-merger evolution, after which the surface abundances are constant during and after the RCB phase, providing evidence for why these stars show a strong enhancement of partial He-burning products.
