Angular momentum of two collided rarefied preplanetesimals and formation of binaries
نویسنده
چکیده
Mean angular momentum of two objects encountering from almost circular heliocentric orbits up to their Hill spheres is studied. Results of these studies are used for discussion of models of formation of binaries at the stage of rarefied preplanetesimals. Some collided rarefied preplanetesimals could have a greater density at distances closer to their centres, and sometimes there could be two centres of contraction inside the rotating preplanetesimal formed as a result of a collision of two rarefied preplanetesimals. In particular, binaries with close masses separated by a large distance and with any value of eccentricity of the mutual orbit of the secondary and the primary components could be formed. The observed separation distance can show the order of characteristic sizes of encountered preplanetesimals. Formation of some binaries could be caused by that the angular momentum that was obtained by a rarefied preplanetesimal was greater than that could exist for a solid body. During contraction of such rotated rarefied preplanetesimal, some material could form a disc of material moved around the primary. One or several satellites of the primary could be formed from this cloud. The angular momentum of any discovered trans-Neptunian binary is smaller than the typical angular momentum of two identical rarefied preplanetesimals having the same total mass as the discovered binary and encountering up to the Hill sphere from circular heliocentric orbits.

Formation of Binaries at a Stage of Rarefied Preplanetesimals
Introduction: Last years, new arguments in favor of the model of rarefied preplanetesimals-clumps were found (e.g., [1-3]). Even before new arguments in favor of formation of planetesimals from rarefied pre-planetesimals have been found, Ipatov [4-5] considered that some trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), planetesi-mals, and asteroids with diameter d>100 km could be formed directly by the compress...
متن کاملForty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
متن کاملThe Formation of Population III Binaries
We explore the possibility for the formation of Population III binaries. The collapse of a rotating cylinder is simulated with a three-dimensional, highresolution nested grid, assuming the thermal history of primordial gas. The simulations are done with dimensionless units, and the results are applicable to low-mass as well as massive systems by scaling with the initial density. We find that if...
متن کاملDetermining the population properties of spinning black holes
There are at least two formation scenarios consistent with the first gravitational-wave observations of binary black hole mergers. In field models, black hole binaries are formed from stellar binaries that may undergo common envelope evolution. In dynamic models, black hole binaries are formed through capture events in globular clusters. Both classes of models are subject to significant theoret...
متن کاملFormation of ultra-compact X-ray binaries through circum-binary disk-driven mass transfer
The formation of ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) has not been well understood. Previous works show that ultra-short orbital periods (< 1 hr) may be reached through mass transfer driven by magnetic braking in normal low/intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (L/IMXBs) only for an extremely small range of initial binary parameters, which makes it difficult to account for the rather large populatio...
