通过行星形成后期的碰撞合并机制形成近距离类地行星

Forming Close-in Earth-like Planets via a Collision-Merger Mechanism in Late-stage Planet Formation

Jianghui Ji, Sheng Jin, C. G. Tinney

摘要:

大量的系外行星被发现在非常接近的轨道上围绕着它们的宿主恒星运行,这极大地促进了我们对行星形成过程的理解。现在人们普遍认为,这样的短周期行星不可能形成{ \em in situ},而是一定是从离主星更远的形成位置迁移到它们现在的轨道。在行星形成的后期,一旦原行星盘中的气体消散,迁移停止,在内部盘区域运行的气体巨星将激发星子和行星胚胎,导致轨道交叉和大撞击的速度增加。我们提出的动力学模拟的结果在这个后期阶段的行星形成的星子演化。我们发现,揭示了一种机制,通过这种机制,行星胚胎的碰撞合并可以将类地行星直接踢到非常接近其母星的轨道上。

英文摘要:

The large number of exoplanets found to orbit their host stars in very close orbits have significantly advanced our understanding of the planetary formation process. It is now widely accepted that such short-period planets cannot have formed {\em in situ}, but rather must have migrated to their current orbits from a formation location much farther from their host star. In the late stages of planetary formation, once the gas in the proto-planetary disk has dissipated and migration has halted, gas-giants orbiting in the inner disk regions will excite planetesimals and planetary embryos, resulting in an increased rate of orbital crossings and large impacts. We present the results of dynamical simulations for planetesimal evolution in this later stage of planet formation. We find that a mechanism is revealed by which the collision-merger of planetary embryos can kick terrestrial planets directly into orbits extremely close to their parent stars.
