2 Axions & the AGB-CCSNe mass transition Inma Domínguez Granada Univ., Spain Maurizio Giannotti, Barry Univ., FL USA Alessandro Mirizzi, Bari Univ. & INFN-Bari, Italy Oscar Straniero, INAF-OAA & INFN-LNGS, Italy Axions at the crossroads: QCD, dark matter, astrophysics ECT Trento, November 20-24, 2017
3 Initial Mass Stellar evolution Stellar Mass Mup 8 M M CCSNe 10 M Low & Intermediate Mass stars IFMR H-burning of WDs He-burning SNIa (AGB phase) rates CO core CO WD in binary systems SNIa +C-burning ECSNe rate semi-generate (Super-AGB) ONe core ONe WD ECSNe NS Massive stars + C-burning non-degenerate + Ne Minimum burning mass O-burning of CCSNe Si-burning progenitors Fe core CCSNe (SNIIP, IIL, Ib, Ic ) NS,BH
4 Stars could be excellent laboratories for particle physics Astrophysical observational evidences of extra-energy sink in stars Next generation of ALP experimental searches, ALPSII & IAXO, will look in the range of astrophysical constraints
5 ALPs are produced & escape Energy sink modify stellar evolution modify observational properties Identify good observational properties to constraint ALP models Precission Uncertainties
6 Our approach Assume that axions (DFSZ) exist with the current most restrictive limits for their coupling constants: g GeV -1 ge Ayala+ 14, Straniero+16 CAST collaboration 2017 Isern+ 2008, Miller Bertolami+2014, Viaux+2013 Include Primakoff, Compton & Bremsstrahlung axion production processes in stellar evolution FUNS stellar evolution code Straniero+ 06, Cristallo+09,11 Axion rates from Nakawaga+ 1987, 1988; Raffelt & Dearborn 1987, Raffelt & Weiss, 1995, Raffelt 1996 Updated by us Explore axion impact on Mup (the minimum mass that experiences carbon burning)
7 Axions processes & rates Compton Bremsstrahlung non degenerate (ND) Raffelt & Dearborn 1987 Raffelt & Weiss 1995 Raffelt 1996 Nakawaga et al.1987, 1988 (revised by us) Bremsstrahlung Degenerate (D) Weak coupling < 1 Primakoff ND & D axi = comp + brem + prim
8 H-burning shell He-burning shell Masses close to phase Degenerate CO core that cools (neutrino emission) and contracts He shell burning (He C O) increases CO core mass Inward penetration of the convective envelope (2nd D-up) STOPS CO core growth He intershell H-rich convective envelope Schematic structure of an AGB star (not to scale) C-ignition? depends on & T which depend on CO core mass C-O core from John Lattanzio Flash-driven intershell convection Dredge-up M co 1.1M Becker & Iben 1979
9 Infuence on Mup, g 10 = 0.7 GeV -1 ge 13 =4.3 Mup from 7.5 to 9.2 M ( Mup= +1.7 M ) Mass of the CO core C-ignition Central conditions, & T 7.5 M no axions M CO 1.07 M C-Ignition 7.5 M axions M CO 0.94 M NO C-Ignition 9.0 M axions M CO 1.14 M No C-Ignition 9.2 M axions M CO 1.18 M C-Ignition
10 Why? Inward penetration of the convective envelope, that halts the growth of the CO core, is anticipated in models with axions due to energy losses (Comp. + Prim.) within the He-shell 7.5M see Domínguez, Straniero & Isern nd-Dup Inward penetration Conv.Envelope T He-shell Comp + Prim He-shell No axions Axions M CO 1.07M 0.94M CO-core t-eagb yr yr

13 Observational constraints related to Mup? High mass end of the Initial-Final Mass Relation Minimum progenitor mass of CCSNe
14 High mass end of the semi-empirical Initial-Final Mass Relation (IFMR) IFMR CO WDs 1.2 M SNIa rate Axions No axions Prompt/Young SNIa Mup Mup only Prim. overshooting axions Courtesy of Jordi Isern (Catalán, Isern, García-Berro & Ribas, 2008)
15 Minimum mass of SNIIP progenitors Axion Mup Smartt, 2015 Observations (semi-empirical): Best fit for the Min. Mass: 9.5 ( 2/+0.5) M Smartt, (-0.2/+0.3) M Davies & Beasor, 2017 Standard Models (SNIIP): 10 M Doherty M 8 M Conservative!! Poelarends Not much room to increase Mup or M CCSNe Not much room for axions
16 Summary Axions increase Mup: M for current constraints (DFSZ) on g ae & g a (CL) due to anticipation of 2nd-Dup by Primakoff & He-shell smaller CO core masses increase also CO core mass needed for C-ignition M CO : M due to cooling by Compton & Degenerate CO core & Bremss@Degenerate CO core So, influence: - High mass end of the IFMR SNIa rates (OK) prompt SNIa (OK) - Minimum progenitor mass of SNIIP Not leaving much room (if any) to increase Mup!! (but theoretical & observational uncertainties)

23 Mup (the minimum stellar mass that experience carbon burning) is relevant because Transition mass between WD progenitors & CCSNe progenitors - Supernova rates & DTD: Ia, ECSNe, CCSNe - Chemical evolution of galaxies - CO & ONe WD masses, IFMR - WD cooling & WD luminosity function
