尘埃沉降与行星快速迁移

Dust Settling and Rapid Planetary Migration

Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Ralph E. Pudritz

摘要:

行星迁移对于解释观测到的系外行星质量-周期关系至关重要。如果没有某种阻止机制,行星和它们的气体盘之间的潮汐共振相互作用通常会导致行星向内迁移,以至于它们在气体盘的寿命($\sim $ 1 - 3 Myrs)内陷入宿主恒星。我们研究行星迁移的分析计算的迁移率和时间内自洽计算,辐射加热盘周围的M星,其中包括尘埃沉降的影响。我们发现,尘埃沉降降低光盘的温度,并提高了中平面的气体密度。这种不可避免的圆盘结构的演化加速了低质量天体的I型行星迁移,最高可达2倍。我们还研究了灰尘沉降对间隙开口质量和II型迁移的影响,发现间隙开口质量减少了2倍,II型迁移变慢了2倍。虽然尘埃沉降可以在一定程度上缓解更大质量行星的行星迁移问题,但低质量行星和行星核心的更快迁移需要一个强大的减速机制。

英文摘要:

Planetary migration is essential to explain the observed mass-period relation for exoplanets. Without some stopping mechanism, the tidal, resonant interaction between planets and their gaseous disc generally causes the planets to migrate inward so efficiently that they plunge into the host star within the gaseous disc lifetime ($\sim $ 1-3 Myrs). We investigate planetary migration by analytically calculating the migration rate and time within self-consistently computed, radiatively heated discs around M stars in which the effects of dust settling are included. We show that dust settling lowers the disc temperature and raises the gas density in the mid-plane. This inescapable evolution of disc structure speeds up type I planetary migration for lower mass bodies by up to a factor of about 2. We also examine the effects of dust settling on the gap-opening mass and type II migration, and find that the gap-opening mass is reduced by a factor of 2 and type II migration becomes slower by a factor of 2. While dust settling can somewhat alleviate the problem of planetary migration for more massive planets, the more rapid migration of low mass planets and planetary cores requires a robust slowing mechanism.
