开普勒发现的多行星系的周期比与行星迁移相一致

Period ratios in multi-planetary systems discovered by Kepler are consistent with planet migration

Hanno Rein

摘要:

开普勒行星候选者是行星形成情景的有趣试验台。我们目前的结果从N体模拟的多行星系,类似于开普勒观测。我们添加平滑(I/II型)和随机迁移力。观察到的周期比率分布与这两种情况本身都不一致。然而,同时对行星施加随机和平滑的迁移力会导致与观察到的周期比分布相似的周期比分布。这是一个自然的场景,如果行星形成在一个动荡的原行星盘,这些力量总是存在。我们展示了如何观察到的周期比和偏心率分布可以约束这些力量的相对强度,一个参数,这是出了名的难以预测的几十年。我们免费提供模拟的源代码和初始条件,以使社区能够扩展这项研究,并包括行星迁移以外的影响。

英文摘要:

The Kepler planet candidates are an interesting testbed for planet formation scenarios. We present results from N-body simulations of multi-planetary systems that resemble those observed by Kepler. We add both smooth (Type I/II) and stochastic migration forces. The observed period ratio distribution is inconsistent with either of those two scenarios on its own. However, applying both stochastic and smooth migration forces to the planets simultaneously results in a period ratio distribution that is similar to the observed one. This is a natural scenario if planets form in a turbulent proto-planetary disk where these forces are always present. We show how the observed period ratio and eccentricity distribution can constrain the relative strength of these forces, a parameter which has been notoriously hard to predict for decades. We make the source code of our simulations and the initial conditions freely available to enable the community to expand this study and include effect other than planetary migration.
