Terminating a common envelope jets supernova impostor event with a super-Eddington blue supergiant.

COHEN T. and SOKER N.

Abstract (from CDS):

We conducted one-dimensional stellar evolutionary numerical simulations to build blue supergiant stellar models with a very low-envelope mass and a super-Eddington luminosity of 107L that mimic the last phase of a common envelope evolution (CEE) where a neutron star (NS) accretes mass from the envelope and launches jets that power the system. Common envelope jets supernovae (CEJSNe) are CEE transient events where an NS spirals-in inside the envelope and then the core of a red supergiant (RSG) star accretes mass and launches jets that power the transient event. In case the NS (or black hole) does not enter the core of the RSG, the event is a CEJSN-impostor. We propose that in some cases a CEJSN-impostor event might end with such a phase of a blue supergiant lasting for several years to few tens of years. The radius of the blue supergiant is about tens to few hundreds' solar radii. We use a simple prescription to deposit the jets' energy into the envelope. We find that the expected accretion rate of envelope mass onto the NS at the end of the CEE allows the power of the jets to be as we assume, 107L. Such a low-mass envelope might be the end of the RSG envelope or a rebuilt envelope from mass fallback. Our study of a blue supergiant at the termination of a CEJSN-impostor event adds to the rich variety of transients that CEJSNe and CEJSN-impostors might form.
