双星系统中的星子吸积:行星会在半人马座阿尔法B周围形成吗?

Planetesimal Accretion in Binary Systems: Could Planets Form Around Alpha Centauri B ?

摘要:

恒星扰动影响双星系统中行星的形成。最近的研究表明,公里大小的微行星相互吸积的行星形成阶段对双星效应最为敏感。研究了半人马座α B附近的星子吸积条件,认为它是探测类地行星的理想候选者,可能位于其宜居带(0.5-0.9 AU)或其附近。本文提出了一种简化的标度方法来估算原行星盘中微行星的吸积时标。模拟了24个不同双星倾角(i_B=0,0.1,1.0和10度),气体密度(0.3,1,3倍于太阳星云最小质量,MMSN),以及有和没有气体耗尽的情况。我们发现:(1).(二)……(三)……(四)……(see详情见文件)。换句话说,我们的研究结果表明,通过公里大小的星子吸积形成类地行星是可能的,而形成气态巨行星是不利的。

英文摘要:

Stellar perturbations affect planet-formation in binary systems. Recent studies show that the planet-formation stage of mutual accretion of km-sized planetesimals is most sensitive to binary effects. In this paper, the condition for planetesimal accretion is investigated around Alpha CenB, which is believed to be an ideal candidate for detection of an Earth-like planet in or near its habitable zone(0.5-0.9 AU). A simplified scaling method is developed to estimate the accretion timescale of the planetesimals embedded in a protoplanetary disk. Twenty-four cases with different binary inclinations(i_B=0, 0.1, 1.0, and 10 deg), gas densities(0.3,1,and 3 times of the Minimum Mass of Solar Nebula, MMSN hereafter), and with and without gas depletion, are simulated. We find: (1)...(2)...(3)...(4)...(see the paper for details). In other words, our results suggest that formation of Earth-like planets through accretion of km-sized planetesimals is possible in Alpha CenB, while formation of gaseous giant planets is not favorable.
