摘要:

已知的太阳系外多行星系统都有一个令人惊讶的动力学属性:它们聚集在希尔稳定边界之外。在这里,我们表明,行星-行星散射模型,自然地解释了观测到的系外行星偏心率分布,可以重现观测到的动态配置的分布。我们计算了我们的每个散射系统将如何出现在一个适当的观察几何范围内;由于希尔稳定性弱依赖于质量,质量倾斜简并不会显着影响我们的结果。我们考虑了广泛的初始行星质量分布,并发现一些是穷人适合所观察到的系统。事实上,我们的许多散射实验过度产生非常接近稳定边界的系统。双行星系统的动力学配置的分布实际上可以提供更好的区分散射模型比偏心率的分布。我们的结果表明,至少在它们的内部区域,气体或星子盘的影响很弱,行星系应该是“包装”,没有大的差距,行星之间。

英文摘要:

The known extrasolar multiple-planet systems share a surprising dynamical attribute: they cluster just beyond the Hill stability boundary. Here we show that the planet-planet scattering model, which naturally explains the observed exoplanet eccentricity distribution, can reproduce the observed distribution of dynamical configurations. We calculated how each of our scattered systems would appear over an appropriate range of viewing geometries; as Hill stability is weakly dependent on the masses, the mass-inclination degeneracy does not significantly affect our results. We consider a wide range of initial planetary mass distributions and find that some are poor fits to the observed systems. In fact, many of our scattering experiments overproduce systems very close to the stability boundary. The distribution of dynamical configurations of two-planet systems actually may provide better discrimination between scattering models than the distribution of eccentricity. Our results imply that, at least in their inner regions which are weakly affected by gas or planetesimal disks, planetary systems should be "packed", with no large gaps between planets.
