大规模行星迁移:理论预测和与观测的比较

Massive planet migration: Theoretical predictions and comparison with observations

Philip J. Armitage

摘要:

我们量化的效用,大径向速度调查的约束理论模型的II型迁移和原行星盘物理。我们描述了一个理论模型的预期径向分布的太阳系外行星,结合分析描述的迁移与经验校准的磁盘模型。圆盘模型包括粘性演化和通过光蒸发的质量损失。将预测的分布与从Lick / Keck / AAT行星搜索计划中均匀选择的行星子样本进行比较,我们发现一个简单的模型,其中行星以均匀的速度在外盘中形成,根据标准的II型处方向内迁移,并在气体盘分散时搁浅,与行星的径向分布一致,轨道半径为0.1 AU < a < 2.5 AU,行星质量大于1.65木星质量。一些变体模型不受现有数据的青睐,但由于适用于统计分析的行星样本较少,其意义有限(约95%)。我们表明,有利的模型预测,行星的质量函数应该是几乎独立的轨道半径的距离,移民占主导地位的大规模行星人口。我们还研究了行星的径向分布如何取决于所采用的磁盘模型。我们发现,该分布不仅可以约束的磁盘粘度的幂律指数的变化,但也急剧跳跃的角动量传输的效率,可能会发生在小半径。

英文摘要:

We quantify the utility of large radial velocity surveys for constraining theoretical models of Type II migration and protoplanetary disk physics. We describe a theoretical model for the expected radial distribution of extrasolar planets that combines an analytic description of migration with an empirically calibrated disk model. The disk model includes viscous evolution and mass loss via photoevaporation. Comparing the predicted distribution to a uniformly selected subsample of planets from the Lick / Keck / AAT planet search programs, we find that a simple model in which planets form in the outer disk at a uniform rate, migrate inward according to a standard Type II prescription, and become stranded when the gas disk is dispersed, is consistent with the radial distribution of planets for orbital radii 0.1 AU < a < 2.5 AU and planet masses greater than 1.65 Jupiter masses. Some variant models are disfavored by existing data, but the significance is limited (~95%) due to the small sample of planets suitable for statistical analysis. We show that the favored model predicts that the planetary mass function should be almost independent of orbital radius at distances where migration dominates the massive planet population. We also study how the radial distribution of planets depends upon the adopted disk model. We find that the distribution can constrain not only changes in the power-law index of the disk viscosity, but also sharp jumps in the efficiency of angular momentum transport that might occur at small radii.
