缺乏具有紧密接近对的短周期多行星系统和开普勒42的奇怪情况

A lack of short-period multiplanet systems with close-proximity pairs and the curious case of Kepler 42

Jason H. Steffen, Will Farr

摘要:

许多开普勒多行星系统在低阶平均运动共振附近有行星对。此外,许多开普勒多行星系统的行星轨道周期小于几天。然而,除了开普勒-42之外,没有任何例子表明系统同时具有短轨道周期和附近的伴星,而我们的统计分析预测了大约17对这样的行星。当内行星的轨道周期小于3天时,相邻行星对的最小周期比满足一个粗略的约束条件:P_2/P_1 >~ 2.3(P_1/day)^(-2/3)。这种缺失并不是因为缺乏轨道周期短的行星。我们还显示了一个统计上显着过量的小,单一的候选系统,轨道周期低于3天的多个候选系统具有类似的周期-也许是一个小行星对应的热彗星。

英文摘要:

Many Kepler multiplanet systems have planet pairs near low-order, mean-motion resonances. In addition, many Kepler multiplanet systems have planets with orbital periods less than a few days. With the exception of Kepler-42, however, there are no examples of systems with both short orbital periods and nearby companion planets while our statistical analysis predicts ~17 such pairs. For orbital periods of the inner planet that are less than three days, the minimum period ratio of adjacent planet pairs follows the rough constraint P_2/P_1 >~ 2.3 (P_1/day)^(-2/3). This absence is not due to a lack of planets with short orbital periods. We also show a statistically significant excess of small, single candidate systems with orbital periods below 3 days over the number of multiple candidate systems with similar periods---perhaps a small-planet counterpart to the hot Jupiters.
