环行星盘中的死区作为规则卫星的形成场所

Dead Zones In Circumplanetary Discs as Formation Sites For Regular Satellites

Stephen H. Lubow, Rebecca G. Martin

摘要:

太阳系中规则的卫星被认为是在环绕行星的圆盘中形成的。我们考虑一个模型的分层环行星盘,由一个nonturbulent的中面层和强烈的湍流盘表面层。死区为卫星形成提供了有利的场所。这是一个允许固体生长的静止环境。盘内的粘性力矩使它膨胀到希尔半径的一个相当大的部分(~0.4 RH),在那里来自中央恒星的潮汐力矩消除了它的角动量。对于某些参数,死区发展成高密度的子结构以及内部希尔球。死区的径向范围可以解释木星和土星的常规卫星轨道的紧凑性。圆盘的温度可以低到足以与木卫三和木卫四的高冰分数相一致。

英文摘要:

Regular satellites in the solar system are thought to form within circumplanetary discs. We consider a model of a layered circumplanetary disc that consists of a nonturbulent midplane layer and and strongly turbulent disc surface layers. The dead zone provides a favorable site for satellite formation. It is a quiescent environment that permits the growth of solid bodies. Viscous torques within the disc cause it to expand to a substantial fraction of its Hill radius (~0.4 R_H) where tidal torques from the central star remove its angular momentum. For certain parameters, the dead zone develops into a high density substructure well inside the Hill sphere. The radial extent of the dead zone may explain the compactness of the regular satellites orbits for Jupiter and Saturn. The disc temperatures can be low enough to be consistent with the high ice fractions of Ganymede and Callisto.
