Abstract
En 中文
We present the first hydrodynamical simulations of common envelope evolution that include the formation of dust and the effect of radiation pressure on dust grains. We performed smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of the CE evolution for two systems made of a 1.7 M⊙ and 3.7 M⊙ AGB star primary with a 0.6 M⊙ binary companion. The results of our calculations indicate that dust formation has a negligible impact on the gas dynamics essentially because dust forms in the already unbound material. The expansion and cooling of the envelope yield very early and highly efficient production of dust. In our formalism, which does not consider dust destruction, almost 100% of the available carbon that is not locked in CO condensates in dust grains. This massive dust production, thus, strongly depends on the envelope mass and composition, in particular, its C-O ratio, and has a considerable impact on the observational aspect of the object, resulting in a photospheric radius that is approximatively one order of magnitude larger than that of a non-dusty system.
