分散盘中的共振

Resonance sticking in the scattered disk

Patryk Sofia Lykawka, Tadashi Mukai

摘要:

我们调查的动力学演化的trans-Neptunian对象(TNOs)在典型的散射盘轨道(散射TNOs)进行模拟,使用几千个粒子躺在最初的海王星遇到的轨道。我们探讨了散射盘中共振粘附的作用,这种现象的特征是多个临时共振捕获(“共振”是指与海王星的外部平均运动共振,可以用r:s的形式描述,其中参数r和s是整数)。首先,所有分散的TNO都是通过间歇性的暂时共振捕获事件和海王星的引力散射而演变的。每个散射的TNO在4 Gyr的周期内经历数十到数百次共振捕获,这代表了物体寿命的约38%(平均值)。第二,共振粘附在半长轴a < 250 AU处起着重要作用,绝大多数此类捕获发生在那里。值得注意的是,最粘的(即,在散射盘中的主导)共振位于该距离范围内,并且是具有最低幅角S的那些共振。r:1、r:2和r:3共振证明了这一点,它们在共振粘附进化过程中发挥了最大的作用,经常导致在几个相邻共振中的捕获。最后,时间尺度和暂时共振捕获的可能性大致与共振强度成比例。低s共振的优势也与后者有关。总之,共振粘附对分散的TNO的演化有重要影响,对这些物体的寿命有重大贡献。

英文摘要:

We investigate the dynamical evolution of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in typical scattered disk orbits (scattered TNOs) by performing simulations using several thousand particles lying initially on Neptune-encountering orbits. We explore the role of resonance sticking in the scattered disk, a phenomenon characterized by multiple temporary resonance captures ('resonances' refers to external mean motion resonances with Neptune, which can be described in the form r:s, where the arguments r and s are integers). First, all scattered TNOs evolve through intermittent temporary resonance capture events and gravitational scattering by Neptune. Each scattered TNO experiences tens to hundreds of resonance captures over a period of 4 Gyr, which represents about 38% of the object's lifetime (mean value). Second, resonance sticking plays an important role at semimajor axes a < 250 AU, where the great majority of such captures occurred. It is noteworthy that the stickiest (i.e., dominant) resonances in the scattered disk are located within this distance range and are those possessing the lowest argument s. This was evinced by r:1, r:2 and r:3 resonances, which played the greatest role during resonance sticking evolution, often leading to captures in several of their neighboring resonances. Finally, the timescales and likelihood of temporary resonance captures are roughly proportional to resonance strength. The dominance of low s resonances is also related to the latter. In sum, resonance sticking has an important impact on the evolution of scattered TNOs, contributing significantly to the longevity of these objects.
