NOTE:解释为什么天王星的卫星有赤道外的轨道,尽管大行星的行星轨道

NOTE: Explaining why the Uranian satellites have equatorial prograde orbits despite the large planetary obliquity

Alessandro Morbidelli, Kleomenis Tsiganis, Konstantin Batygin, Aurelien Crida, Rodney Gomes

摘要:

我们表明,存在的赤道卫星是一致的碰撞倾斜的情况下,天王星。事实上,如果行星在倾斜时被一个原卫星盘包围着,并且在碰撞中暂时将一个巨大的物质环放置在行星的洛希半径内,那么原卫星盘将开始围绕行星的赤道不连贯地进动,直到比奥伯龙更远的距离。碰撞阻尼会使它坍缩成一个薄薄的赤道盘,卫星最终由此形成。事实上,卫星的轨道是倾斜的,这要求天王星在最终倾斜到98度之前有一个不可忽略的初始倾斜度(与海王星相当)。

英文摘要:

We show that the existence of prograde equatorial satellites is consistent with a collisional tilting scenario for Uranus. In fact, if the planet was surrounded by a proto-satellite disk at the time of the tilting and a massive ring of material was temporarily placed inside the Roche radius of the planet by the collision, the proto-satellite disk would have started to precess incoherently around the equator of the planet, up to a distance greater than that of Oberon. Collisional damping would then have collapsed it into a thin equatorial disk, from which the satellites eventually formed. The fact that the orbits of the satellites are prograde requires Uranus to have had a non-negligible initial obliquity (comparable to that of Neptune) before it was finally tilted to 98 degrees.
