粘性幂律盘中的巨行星迁移

Giant Planet Migration in Viscous Power-Law Discs

R. G. Edgar

摘要:

过去十年中发现的许多太阳系外行星都是气体巨星,围绕其宿主恒星运行。由于难以在原地形成这些“热彗星”,一般认为它们是通过与新生圆盘的相互作用迁移到目前的轨道上的。本文对幂律盘中的巨行星迁移进行了系统的研究。我们发现行星的迁移率与盘的表面密度成正比。这与迁移率仅仅是圆盘的粘性漂移速度的假设不一致。然而,这个结果可以通过平衡行星的角动量与圆盘中的粘性扭矩来获得。我们已经证实,这个结果不会受到调整网格分辨率、平滑长度或行星迁移时间的影响。

英文摘要:

Many extra-solar planets discovered over the past decade are gas giants in tight orbits around their host stars. Due to the difficulties of forming these `hot Jupiters' in situ, they are generally assumed to have migrated to their present orbits through interactions with their nascent discs. In this paper, we present a systematic study of giant planet migration in power law discs. We find that the planetary migration rate is proportional to the disc surface density. This is inconsistent with the assumption that the migration rate is simply the viscous drift speed of the disc. However, this result can be obtained by balancing the angular momentum of the planet with the viscous torque in the disc. We have verified that this result is not affected by adjusting the resolution of the grid, the smoothing length used, or the time at which the planet is released to migrate.
