长周期彗星从何而来?穿过土星-土星屏障

Where do long-period comets come from? Moving through Jupiter-Saturn barrier

Piotr A. Dybczyński, Małgorzata Królikowska

摘要:

本文研究了1970年以后发现的64颗1/aori = 3.0的长周期彗星的过去和未来动力学演化< 1 \times 10-4 au-1 and qosc >。对于所有这些,我们得到了一个新的,均匀的密切轨道,包括15个轨道与检测到的非引力参数。这15颗彗星中有11颗的非引力效应是首次确定的。这些数值来回传播到250天文单位的日心距离,构成了一套原始和未来的轨道连同他们的不确定性。接下来,我们跟踪了银河潮汐下的动力学演化,从过去到未来进行了一次轨道旋转,获得了上一次/下一次近日点通道的轨道要素。我们得到了一个明确的依赖最近的革命变化近日点距离相对于1/aori,证实了理论的预期。我们发现,约50%的所有调查彗星有他们以前的近日点距离低于15 AU的限制。这导致31颗彗星被归类为动态新彗星,26颗彗星被归类为动态旧彗星,7颗彗星的状态不清楚。我们还提出了几个例子彗星运动通过木星-土星障碍,其中一些与以前的近日点距离小于观察到的。根据Kaib &amp; Quinn(2009)的建议,还讨论了长周期彗星源路径的新解释。

英文摘要:

Past and future dynamical evolution of all 64 long period comets having 1/aori< 1\times10-4 au-1 and qosc > 3.0 au and discovered after 1970 is studied. For all of them we obtained a new, homogeneous set of osculating orbits, including 15 orbits with detected non-gravitational parameters. The non-gravitational effects for eleven of these 15 comets have been determined for the first time. These were propagated numerically back and forth up to the 250 au heliocentric distance, constituting sets of original and future orbits together with their uncertainties. Next we followed the dynamical evolution under the Galactic tides for one orbital revolution to the past and future, obtaining orbital elements at previous/next perihelion passages. We obtained a clear dependence of the last revolution change in perihelion distance with respect to the 1/aori, what confirmed theoretical expectations. We show that about 50 per cent of all investigated comets have their previous perihelion distance below the 15 au limit. This resulted in classifying 31 comets as dynamically new, 26 as dynamically old and 7 having unclear status. We also present several examples of cometary motion through the Jupiter-Saturn barrier, some of them with the previous perihelion distance smaller than the observed one. New interpretations of the long period comets source pathways are also discussed in the light of suggestions of Kaib & Quinn (2009).
