1 CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES AND THE TYPE Ia PROGENITOR PROBLEM PROGENITOR PROBLEM Lorne Nelson SNOVAE07 Feb. 23, 2007
2 Cataclysmic Variables CVs are characterized by a low-mass star/bd (donor) losing mass to an accreting WD. There is a rich variety of subclasses (associated with disk or WD) Classical Novae Dwarf Novae SU Ursae Majoris Z Camelopardalis Recurrent Novae Nova-Like SW Sextantis Polars & Int. Polars SuperSoft Sources
3 Type Ia Progenitors? Whelan & Iben (1973) first proposed that CVs could be Type Ia progenitors M wd > M ch good standard candles Single Degenerate Channel: Candidate progenitors observed (SSXSs, Symbiotics, CVs) Fine tuning of accretion rate is needed to avoid nova and/or CE (small volume in the phase space) Absence of H in the spectra
4 Cataclysmic Variables CVs are semi-detached that transfer mass by RLOF binaries (can be non-conservative) CVs have ~70 min < P orb < ~12 hours White dwarf masses of ~0.3 to 1.4 M ~10-20% are magnetic ( MG). Donor (secondary) have masses from ~1.2 to ~0.02 M Any model must be able to explain the salient features: 1) Orbital Period Distribution 2) Mass-Transfer Rates 3) Morphology
5 CV P orb Distribution 80 min Period Gap
6 Inferred Mass Transfer Rates Approximate Uncertainty Patterson Relation (1984) Mɺ = 6 10 ( P /1hr) M yr ± orb
7 Standard Model The donor overflows its Critical Equipotential Matter flows through the inner Lagrange point (L 1 ) from the donor star (M 2 ) to the compact accretor (M 1 ). The critical Roche equipotentials intersect the L 1 point.
8 Drivers of Mass Transfer The donor must expand wrt the Roche Lobe (or the RL must shrink) CASE 1: Nuclear evolution τ nuc M L M M L M The donor expands on its nuclear timescale Mass transfer can be initiated on SGB or RGB yr 10 yr
9 Drivers of Mass Transfer CASE 2: Thermal Timescale Mass Transfer (TTMT) E = -0.5 E GM R, so τ GM RL τ 2 2 th grav th 2 2 M R L M 7 7 KH yr yr M R L M Donors with radiative envelopes can temporarily shrink due to mass loss, but expand on a KH timescale to reestablish thermal equilibrium Mɺ M donor τ KH M yr 6 8-1
10 CASE 3: Angular Momentum Loss (AML) Gravitational Radiation Magnetic Braking by a MSW (Verbunt-Zwaan Law) Systemic Mass Loss Total AML: M T M 1 M 2 Porb 1 Jɺ GR = yr J M M M 1 hr 1 1 γ MB 6 T 1 P orb 1 Jɺ M M R = yr J M M R 1 hr M ɺ = βm ɺ or M ɺ + M ɺ = (1 β ) M ɺ ( ) 2 ( ) δ J = δ M α A ω = (1 β ) δ M α A ω, α > 0 δ M T T Jɺ δ M M T T Mɺ 2 = α (1 β ) J M1 M2 Jɺ orb Jɺ J GR Jɺ ɺ MB M Jɺ Jɺ δ T dis = + + = + J J J J J J δ M T
11 Binary Dynamics From Ed s talk on Friday: 2 / 3 1/ 3 RL 0.49q q M 2 q 2 / 3 1/ 3 A 0.6q + ln(1 + q ) 1+ q M1 = 0.46, 0.8 Rɺ L Aɺ 1 Mɺ 2 1 Mɺ + R A 3 M 3 M L 2 T T J M M GA Jɺ Mɺ Mɺ Mɺ M M J M M M orb 2 1 T orb = = T Aɺ A Rɺ L Jɺ 5 Mɺ Mɺ 2 Mɺ = R J 3 M M 3 M L orb 2 1 T 2 1 T
12 Rate of Mass Transfer Rɺ L Mɺ q Jɺ dis Mɺ 2 = 2 βq (1 β) α (1 β) ( 1+ q) RL M q J M 2 dissipation <0 internal J redistribution <0 OR >0 If the system remains in contact R L (t)= R 2 (t) systemic J loss <0 Rɺ R R L Rɺ Mɺ ɺ ɺ = ξ + + R R M R R L 2 2 2, nuc 2, th ad where ξ ad d ln( R) d ln( M ) ad The equations describing the mass-transfer can be approximated as follows: Mɺ Rɺ 2 2, nuc / R2 + Rɺ 2, th / R2 2 Jɺ dis / J M D( α, β, q, ξ ) 2 ad
13 Dynamical Instability Mass transfer is ONLY stable if numerator and denominator > 0 N.B.: If D < 0 then the binary system is dynamically unstable CE phase/merger 5 2 q(1 β) D( q, α, β, ξad ) = + ξad 2βq 2 α (1 β)(1 + q) 3 3(1 + q) Sign of D very much depends on the value of α Importance wrt Type Ia SNe was noted by Di Stefano, Nelson, Rappaport, Lee and Wood (1995); Han and Podsiadlowski (2004)
14 Binary Evolution Assumptions: 1) donor unevolved; 2) Mass lost from the system due to CNe; 3) Interrupted mag. braking Howell, Nelson & Rappaport (2001)
15 Orbital Period Gap Assumptions: 1) MB severely attenuated when donor becomes fully convective (IMB); 2) Mass lost from the system due to CNe Let f represent a thermal bloating factor : R = fam b 2 2 Roche Geometry Constraint: f P upper = Plower 2 / 3 ~ thermally evolving
16 EVOLVED DONORS Initial Conditions: M wd = 1.0 M u M donor = 1.5 M u A sharp bifurcation in P orb is possible.
17 Formation of CVs Start with primordial binary Iben & Tutukov (1991) Yungelson (2005) CV Sequence Most Probable End State
18 CE Evolution Webbink (1984) de Kool (1990) Taam & Sandquist (1998) Based on a first principles energy argument: α α CE CE GM 2 core 1 2 f i ( 3 ) M M GM M + M = a a R1 env env core is the efficiency of the deposition of E in removing the CE
19 Population Synthesis Derive the properties of CVs (and other IBs) in the present epoch given their formation throughout the history of the Galaxy. Initial Distribution Final Distribution n 0 (M 10, M 20, P 0 ) dm 10 dm 20 dp 0 n f (M 1f, M 2f, P f ) dm 1f dm 2f dp f
20 Population Synthesis 1) Efficiency of CE process - Separation of orbit 2) Choice of initial mass of primary 3) Correlation of masses 4) Birth rate function (BRF) Large number of uncertainties!
21 Models of the Current Paradigm Synthetic Relative Logarithmic Probability Evolution of 10 million model CVs. This model represents the present-day population of CVs in the Milky Way assuming an age of 10 GYr. Major Predictions: 1) > 95% of all CVs have short orbital periods (<2 hr). 2) Donors immediately above the period gap are ~25% less massive than would be inferred if the donor was on the MS.
22 Mass versus P orb Relative Logarithmic Probability
23 Cumulative Distribution of CVs Synthesized distribution matches observed one reasonably well (once selection effects are accounted for). Caveats: 1) P min theoretical is < 80 min 2) Expect more CVs near P min ( spike ) 3) ~10 times more novae above gap (factor of ~100 discrepancy?)
24 Population Synthesis of CNe Nelson 2002 Nelson et al Pop. Synthesis yields a rate of ~ CNe/yr in our Galaxy Nova Cygni 1992 see also Townsley & Bildsten 2004
25 Galactic Frequencies Theoretically predicted nova frequencies (densities expressed per hour of orbital period). Case (a): solid lines correspond to q 1/4 and dashed lines to q 0 (α = 0.3 for both sets of curves). Case (b): solid lines correspond to α = 0.3 and dashed lines to α = 1 (q 1/4 for both sets of curves). As in Figure 1, the blue curves correspond to hot WD s and the red curves to cool ones.
26 The Transition to Steady Burning STEADY BURNING NOVA OUTBURST (TNR) Benjamin, Jensen, Nadeau & Nelson 2004 Mass transfer rate of 1x10-9 M yr -1 : (i) Black curve: M WD = 0.95 M ; (ii) Red curve: M WD = 1.0 M ; (iii) Blue curve: M WD = 1.1 M. Setting M WD = 1.0 M, and increasing Ṁ yields the following: (iv) Green curve: 6x10-8 M yr -1 ; (v) Pink curve: 5x10-7 M yr -1. The inset shows the evolution of case (iv) on an appropriately short time scale.
27 Profile of a Thermonuclear Runaway Nelson 2005 Thermal profile of a 0.7 M CO WD undergoing accretion at 1x10-8 M yr -1. Each curve corresponds to an evolutionary time ( t) measured relative to the first model in the sequence. Log T(K) is plotted against the log of the mass fraction (as measured from the surface).
28 Quasi-Steady Burning Log(L/L ) Time (yr) Temporal evolution of the luminosity of an accreting 1.0 M CO WD undergoing accretion at 5x10-7 M yr -1. The WD quickly attains a state of quasi-steady H-burning.
29 Temporal Evolution of Supersofts WINDS Stable H-Burning SSXSs can be regarded as Super CVs Stable H-Burning M donor M donor NOVA EVENTS M donor Van den Heuvel et al. (1991) developed the model of steady H burning on the surface of WDs Di Stefano & Nelson 1996
30 Type Ia Progenitors Type Ia Candidate Di Stefano et al Synthesis produced a Type Ia frequency that was too small by a factor of ~20 The observationally inferred SN Ia rate is ~0.3 century -1
31 Recent Progenitor Results Grid of Initial Properties (Parameter Space) Dynamical Instability Han and Podsiadlowski 2004 Synthesis produced a Type Ia frequency that was too small by a factor of ~3
