双星中的行星系统I.动态分类

Planetary Systems in Binaries. I. Dynamical Classification

摘要:

许多最近的观测研究得出结论,行星系统通常存在于多星系统中。已知的太阳系外行星系统中至少有20%与一个或多个伴星有关。拥有行星系统的恒星双星的轨道通常宽于100天文单位,并且通常相对于行星轨道高度倾斜。然而,这种倾斜的双星轨道对行星耦合系统的长期扰动的影响在理论上却知之甚少。本文通过数值积分研究了双星系统的各种动力学类型,并提供了一个基于长期扰动理论的分析框架。行星的微分节进动是区分双星系统中两种不同动力学类型的关键属性:(1)动力学刚性系统,其中行星的轨道平面像嵌入刚性圆盘一样一致进动;(2)弱耦合系统,其中最初共面行星之间的相互倾斜角在长期时间尺度上增长到大值。在后一种情况下,来自外行星的四极摄动会导致额外的Kozai周期,并导致内行星的轨道偏心率以大幅度振荡。从恒星伴星通过行星向内传播的周期性角动量转移可以在较短的时间尺度上显着改变内行星的轨道特性。这种扰动传播机制可能提供了重要的限制,在已知的单行星系统的双星系统中存在额外的行星。

英文摘要:

Many recent observational studies have concluded that planetary systems commonly exist in multiple-star systems. At least ~20% of the known extrasolar planetary systems are associated with one or more stellar companions. The orbits of stellar binaries hosting planetary systems are typically wider than 100 AU and often highly inclined with respect to the planetary orbits. The effect of secular perturbations from such an inclined binary orbit on a coupled system of planets, however, is little understood theoretically. In this paper we investigate various dynamical classes of double-planet systems in binaries through numerical integrations and we provide an analytic framework based on secular perturbation theories. Differential nodal precession of the planets is the key property that separates two distinct dynamical classes of multiple planets in binaries: (1) dynamically-rigid systems in which the orbital planes of planets precess in concert as if they were embedded in a rigid disk, and (2) weakly-coupled systems in which the mutual inclination angle between initially coplanar planets grows to large values on secular timescales. In the latter case, the quadrupole perturbation from the outer planet induces additional Kozai cycles and causes the orbital eccentricity of the inner planet to oscillate with large amplitudes. The cyclic angular momentum transfer from a stellar companion propagating inward through planets can significantly alter the orbital properties of the inner planet on shorter timescales. This perturbation propagation mechanism may offer important constraints on the presence of additional planets in known single-planet systems in binaries.
