巨行星碰撞的观测特征

Observational signatures of the giant planets collisions

V. I. Dokuchaev, Yu. N. Eroshenko

摘要:

我们考虑观测到的巨大的系外行星的碰撞和部分破坏的行星系演化的混沌阶段的签名。银河系中这些碰撞的速率估计为每年约0.01-1次。在相对速度小、碰撞参量小的非弹性碰撞中,行星可能充分失去其动能而合并在一起。否则,如果行星经历了一次浅切向碰撞,它会安全地飞走。与此同时,行星在相互碰撞中失去了部分气体包层。巨行星的碰撞也必然伴随着从射电到光学波段的能量辐射。可见光和近紫外线闪光是行星表面层碰撞加热的结果。此外,巨大行星的强大磁层的碰撞压缩和崩溃是可能的,伴随着连续产生的射电爆发。根据我们的估计,射电爆发的频率约为每年0.01 ~ 1次,最大谱通量约为30 mJ/y,每次爆发的持续时间约为1.5小时。这些信号可由现有的射电望远镜记录。

英文摘要:

We consider observational signatures of the collisions and partial destructions of giant exoplanets at the chaotic stage of the planetary systems evolution. The rate of these collisions in the Galaxy is estimated to be ~0.01-1 per yr. In the inelastic collision with a small relative velocity and small impact parameter, the planets may sufficiently lose their kinetic energy and merge together. Otherwise, if the planet is experienced a shallow tangential collision, it flews safety away. At the same time, the planets loss some part of their gas envelopes during mutual collisions. Collisions of the giant planets must be accompanied also by the radiation of energy from the radio to optical bands. The optical and near UV flashes result from the collision heating of the planet surface layers. Additionally, the collision compression and collapse of the powerful magnetosphere of giant planets are possible, with a successive generation of the radio bursts. According to our estimations, the corresponding rate the radio bursts is ~0.01-1 bursts per year with the maximum spectral flux ~30mJy at the frequencies ~3GHz and with a duration of the each burst ~1.5 hours. These signals are available for registration by the existing radio telescopes.
