Transcript of Pair-instability supernovae From Woosley et al. (2002, 2007) Woosley Lecture 19.
Mass Loss in Very Massive Primordial Stars
• Negligible line-driven winds (mass loss ~ metallicity1/2) (Kudritzki 2002)
• No opacity-driven pulsations (no metals)• Continuum-driven winds likely small contribution• Epsilon mechanism inefficient in metal-free stars
below ~1000 M (Baraffe, Heger & Woosley 2000)from pulsational analysis we estimate upper limits:– 120 solar masses: < 0.2 %– 300 solar masses: < 3.0 %– 500 solar masses: < 5.0 %– 1000 solar masses: < 12.0 %during central hydrogen burning
• Red Super Giant pulsations could lead to significant mass loss during helium burning for stars above ~500 M
8 – 11 M¯: uncertain situation
?
• M < M1 ' 8 M¯: No C ignition
• M > M2 ' 12 M¯: Full nondegenerate burning
• In between: ????
• Degenerate off-centre ignition
• Possibly O-Ne-(Mg?) white dwarfs (after some additional mass loss)
• With sufficient O-Ne core mass: continued burning and core collapse
Pair-instability supernovae
• He burning
• collapse and energy release
• + ! e+ + e-: 1 < 4/3
• Dynamical collapse, bounce, explosive burning (for M < 260 M¯)
• Dynamical collapse directly to black hole (for M > 260 M¯)
Pop. III stars, no mass loss
Can very massive stars retain their masseven today?
The Pistol Star• Galactic star• Extremely high mass loss rate• Initial mass: 150 (?)• Will die as much less massive object
Pair instability
Helium core mostly convective and radiation a large part of the total pressure.~ 4/3. Contracts and heats up after helium burning. Ignites carbon burning radiatively
Above 1 x 109 K, pair neutrinos accelerate evolution. Contraction continues. Pair concentration increases. Energy goes into rest mass of pairs rather than increasing pressure, < 4/3. Contraction accelerates.
Oxygen and (off-center) carbon burn explosively liberating a large amount of energy. At higher mass silicon burns to 56Ni
The star completely, or partially explodes

Pair-Instability Supernovae
Many studies in literature since more than 3 decades, e.g.,Rakavey, Shaviv, & Zinamon (1967)Bond, Anett, & Carr (1984)Glatzel, Fricke, & El Eid (1985)Woosley (1986)
Some recent calculations:Umeda & Nomoto 2001Heger & Woosley 2002
