膨胀的热木星行星的二元合并起源

A binary merger origin for inflated hot Jupiter planets

E. L. Martin, H. C. Spruit, R. Tata

摘要:

我们假设膨胀的热彗星代表了一个单独的行星形成通道,即两颗低质量恒星的合并。我们表明,W UMa星和低质量的分离双星的丰度和性质是一致的,它们可能是祖先。凌日热彗星的暴胀程度与它们预期的旋入寿命(通过潮汐耗散)相关,如果恒星耗散参数Q '* 足够低,这可能表明年轻。在合并事件中形成的大质量致密盘中可以形成几颗质量为1000亿的行星。它们之间的引力散射可以解释偏心、倾斜和逆行轨道的高发生率。如果膨胀的行星群确实是通过合并过程形成的,那么它们在蓝离散星周围的频率应该比金牛T星周围高得多。

英文摘要:

We hypothesize that hot Jupiters with inflated sizes represent a separate planet formation channel,the merging of two low-mass stars. We show that the abundance and properties of W UMa stars and low mass detached binaries are consistent with their being possible progenitors. The degree of inflation of the transiting hot Jupiters correlates with their expected spiral-in life time by tidal dissipation, and this could indicate youth if the stellar dissipation parameter Q'* is sufficiently low. Several Jupiter-mass planets can form in the massive compact disk formed in a merger event. Gravitational scattering between them can explain the high incidence of excentric, inclined, and retrograde orbits. If the population of inflated planets is indeed formed by a merger process, their frequency should be much higher around blue stragglers than around T Tauri stars.
