摘要:

利用三维流体动力学模拟研究了角动量对原行星系统的吸积作用。我们考虑一个具有足够空间分辨率的原行星盘中原行星周围的局部区域。我们详细描述了原行星上和周围的气流结构。我们发现,气体流到原行星系统在垂直方向上穿过冲击波前附近的希尔半径的原行星,这是定性的不同,从二维模拟建立的图片。由原行星系统吸积的气体的比角动量随着原行星质量的增加而增加。在木星轨道上,当原行星质量M_p < 1 M_J时,比角动量随j \propto M_p的增大而增大,其中M_J为木星质量。当原行星质量M_p > 1 M_J时,比角动量随j \propto M_p^2/3增大。J是由于气体的热压力。一个由气体巨行星和环行星盘组成的系统的角动量估计比太阳系中现有的气体巨行星大两个数量级。总角动量的很大一部分有助于环行星盘的形成。我们还讨论了行星盘的卫星形成。

英文摘要:

We investigate the accretion of angular momentum onto a protoplanet system using three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. We consider a local region around a protoplanet in a protoplanetary disk with sufficient spatial resolution. We describe the structure of the gas flow onto and around the protoplanet in detail. We find that the gas flows onto the protoplanet system in the vertical direction crossing the shock front near the Hill radius of the protoplanet, which is qualitatively different from the picture established by two-dimensional simulations. The specific angular momentum of the gas accreted by the protoplanet system increases with the protoplanet mass. At Jovian orbit, when the protoplanet mass M_p is M_p < 1 M_J, where M_J is Jovian mass, the specific angular momentum increases as j \propto M_p. On the other hand, it increases as j \propto M_p^2/3 when the protoplanet mass is M_p > 1 M_J. The stronger dependence of the specific angular momentum on the protoplanet mass for M_p < 1 M_J is due to thermal pressure of the gas. The estimated total angular momentum of a system of a gas giant planet and a circumplanetary disk is two-orders of magnitude larger than those of the present gas giant planets in the solar system. A large fraction of the total angular momentum contributes to the formation of the circumplanetary disk. We also discuss the satellite formation from the circumplanetary disk.
