| 英文摘要 | Abstract Accretion of tidally disrupted stars (TDSs) is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of massive black holes (MBHs) with mass ～106 in galactic centers. In this paper, we quantitatively investigate the effect of the TDS accretion on the spin evolution of these relatively small MBHs, by also considering the accretion of gas clouds with (many) chaotic episodes. We find that the accretion of TDSs can play an important role or even a dominant role in shaping the spin distribution of ～106 MBHs, depending on the contribution fraction ( ) of the TDS accretion to the MBH growth. If is as large as , most MBHs have low spins ( ); if is as small as , most MBHs have high spins ( ). We also find that (1) the fraction of highly spinning ～106 MBHs in the TDS accretion states is smaller than that in the gas-cloud (active galactic nucleus [AGN]) accretion states, which is a consequence of more rapid spin decrease during the period of consecutive TDS accretion than the spin increase during the AGN periods when the spin is large; and (2) the fraction of retrograde-spin accretion in the TDS accretion states is almost the same as that of prograde-spin accretion, while it is negligible in the gas-cloud (AGN) accretion states. The current scarce sample of AGNs (～106 ) with spin measurements hints at an insignificant contribution from TDS accretion to MBH growth. Future measurements on spins of ～106 MBHs may provide stronger constraints on the importance of both AGN and TDS accretion states in their growth history. |
