Stellar Neutrino Emission Across The Mass-Metallicity Plane

Abstract

We explore neutrino emission from nonrotating, single star models across six initial metallicities and seventy initial masses from the zero-age main sequence to the final fate. Overall, across the mass spectrum, we find metal-poor stellar models tend to have denser, hotter and more massive cores with lower envelope opacities, larger surface luminosities, and larger effective temperatures than their metal-rich counterparts. Across the mass-metallicity plane we identify the sequence (initial CNO $\to$ ${}^{14}$N $\to$ ${}^{22}$Ne $\to$ ${}^{25}$Mg $\to$ ${}^{26}$Al $\to$ ${}^{26}$Mg $\to$ ${}^{30}$P $\to$ ${}^{30}$Si) as making primary contributions to the neutrino luminosity at different phases of evolution. For the low-mass models we find neutrino emission from the nitrogen flash and thermal pulse phases of evolution depend strongly on the initial metallicity. For the high-mass models, neutrino emission at He-core ignition and He-shell burning depends strongly on the initial metallicity. Anti-neutrino emission during C, Ne, and O burning shows a strong metallicity dependence with ${}^{22}$Ne($\alpha$,$n$)${}^{25}$Mg providing much of the neutron excess available for inverse-$\beta$ decays. We integrate the stellar tracks over an initial mass function and time to investigate the neutrino emission from a simple stellar population. We find average neutrino emission from simple stellar populations to be 0.5--1.2 MeV electron neutrinos. Lower metallicity stellar populations produce slightly larger neutrino luminosities and average $\beta$ decay energies. This study can provide targets for neutrino detectors from individual stars and stellar populations. We provide convenient fitting formulae and open access to the photon and neutrino tracks for more sophisticated population synthesis models.
