环双星盘中原行星的迁移

On the migration of protoplanets embedded in circumbinary disks

Arnaud Pierens, Richard P. Nelson

摘要:

本文给出了环双星吸积盘中低质量原行星的流体动力学模拟结果。其目的是研究原行星的迁移和长期轨道演化,以确定在环双星盘中形成的行星的稳定性。使用网格为基础的流体动力学代码进行模拟。首先,我们提出了一套计算,研究如何与一个circumbinary盘的二进制相互作用。我们将系统演化为10^5个双星轨道,这是系统达到准平衡态所需的时间。从这时起,盘和双星的拱线对齐,双星的偏心率基本保持不变,e_b ~ 0.08。一旦获得这种稳定状态,我们将一颗低质量的原行星嵌入盘中,让它在双星和盘力的作用下演化。我们认为原行星的质量为5,10和20个地球质量。在每一种情况下,我们发现向内迁移的原行星停止在边缘的潮汐截断腔形成的二元。这种效应是由于正的共转扭矩,它可以抵消净负Lindblad扭矩在磁盘区域的表面密度分布有一个足够大的正梯度。迁移的停止发生在一个长期稳定的区域,这表明低质量的环联星行星可能很常见,而气体巨星环联星行星应该能够在环联星盘中形成。

英文摘要:

We present the results of hydrodynamical simulations of low mass protoplanets embedded in circumbinary accretion disks. The aim is to examine the migration and long term orbital evolution of the protoplanets, in order to establish the stability properties of planets that form in circumbinary disks. Simulations were performed using a grid--based hydrodynamics code. First we present a set of calculations that study how a binary interacts with a circumbinary disk. We evolve the system for 10^5 binary orbits, which is the time needed for the system to reach a quasi-equilibrium state. From this time onward the apsidal lines of the disk and the binary are aligned, and the binary eccentricity remains essentially unchanged with a value of e_b ~ 0.08. Once this stationary state is obtained, we embed a low mass protoplanet in the disk and let it evolve under the action of the binary and disk forces. We consider protoplanets with masses of 5, 10 and 20 Earth masses. In each case, we find that inward migration of the protoplanet is stopped at the edge of the tidally truncated cavity formed by the binary. This effect is due to positve corotation torques, which can counterbalance the net negative Lindblad torques in disk regions where the surface density profile has a sufficiently large positive gradient. Halting of migration occurs in a region of long-term stability, suggesting that low mass circumbinary planets may be common, and that gas giant circumbinary planets should be able to form in circumbinary disks.
