紧凑行星系中轨道的线性分布?

A linear distribution of orbits in compact planetary systems?

Cezary Migaszewski, Krzysztof Gozdziewski, Mariusz Slonina

摘要:

我们报告了一个样本的多个太阳系外的行星系与超地球行星的轨道的线性排序。我们选择了20个案例,大多数是由开普勒任务发现的,在\sim 0.5 au内至少有四颗行星。在这个样本的每个系统中,第n颗行星的半长轴a_n服从a(n)= a_1 +(n-1)Δa,其中a_1是最内层轨道的半长轴,Δa是后续行星之间的间距,这对于特定的系统是特定的。例如,拥有五颗超级地球行星的开普勒-33系统显示出观测到的和线性预测的半长轴之间的相对偏差只有百分之几。样本中至少有一半的系统以类似的精度满足线性定律。我们解释了半长轴的线性分布作为一个自然的含义,后续行星之间的平均运动共振的多个链,这是由于行星-磁盘的相互作用和收敛迁移在其演化的早期阶段出现。

英文摘要:

We report a linear ordering of orbits in a sample of multiple extrasolar planetary systems with super-Earth planets. We selected 20 cases, mostly discovered by the Kepler mission, hosting at least four planets within \sim 0.5 au. The semi-major axis a_n of an n-th planet in each system of this sample obeys a(n) = a_1 + (n-1) Δa, where a_1 is the semi-major axis of the innermost orbit and Δa is a spacing between subsequent planets, which are specific for a particular system. For instance, the Kepler-33 system hosting five super-Earth planets exhibits the relative deviations between the observed and linearly predicted semi-major axes of only a few percent. At least half of systems in the sample fulfill the linear law with a similar accuracy. We explain the linear distribution of semi-major axes as a natural implication of multiple chains of mean motion resonances between subsequent planets, which emerge due to planet--disk interactions and convergent migration at early stages of their evolution.
