多行星系统中行星轨道的稳定性检查

Checking Stability Of Planet Orbits In Multiple-planet Systems

F. Malbet, J. Catanzarite, M. Shao, C. Zhai

摘要:

SIM Lite飞行任务将进行几次行星调查。其中之一,深行星调查,旨在探测附近主序星的宜居带中的地球质量的系外行星。进行了一项双盲研究,以评估SIM在可能存在几颗巨行星的多行星系统中探测这种小行星的能力。其中一个有助于确定探测到的行星是否是真实的工具是使用公开可用的HNBody代码的轨道积分器,以便可以根据许多轨道的时间稳定性来分析轨道解。在这篇文章中,我们描述了这个集成器的实现,并分析了不同的盲测试解决方案。我们还讨论了这种方法的有用性,因为一些行星可能无法检测到,但仍然影响系统的整体稳定性。

英文摘要:

The SIM Lite mission will undertake several planet surveys. One of them, the Deep Planet Survey, is designed to detect Earth-mass exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby main sequence stars. A double blind study has been conducted to assess the capability of SIM to detect such small planets in a multi-planet system where several giant planets might be present. One of the tools which helped in deciding if the detected planets were actual was an orbit integrator using the publicly available HNBody code so that the orbit solutions could be analyzed in terms of temporal stability over many orbits. In this contribution, we describe the implementation of this integrator and analyze the different blind test solutions. We discuss also the usefulness of this method given that some planets might be not detected but still affect the overall stability of the system.
