在死区中形成环双星行星

Formation of circumbinary planets in a dead zone

Rebecca G. Martin, Philip J. Armitage, Richard D. Alexander

摘要:

环联星行星已经在轨道半径上观测到,在这些半径上,双星扰动可能对气盘结构、微行星速度色散以及湍流和微行星之间的耦合产生重大影响。在这里,我们注意到,所有这些影响的行星形成的影响是定性的改变,如果环双星盘结构分层,与非湍流中面层(死区)和强烈的湍流表面层。对于近距离双星,我们发现,死区通常从半径接近内盘边缘的半径约10-20 AU的二进制的质量中心。表面密度的峰值出现在死区内,远离内部盘边缘,接近雪线,并且可以作为空气动力学耦合固体的陷阱。我们认为,环联行星形成可能更容易在这个优先位置附近比磁盘周围的单星。然而,在宽双星周围的死区是不太可能的,因此行星形成可能会更困难。

英文摘要:

Circumbinary planets have been observed at orbital radii where binary perturbations may have significant effects on the gas disk structure, on planetesimal velocity dispersion, and on the coupling between turbulence and planetesimals. Here, we note that the impact of all of these effects on planet formation is qualitatively altered if the circumbinary disk structure is layered, with a non-turbulent midplane layer (dead zone) and strongly turbulent surface layers. For close binaries, we find that the dead zone typically extends from a radius close to the inner disk edge up to a radius of around 10-20 au from the centre of mass of the binary. The peak in the surface density occurs within the dead zone, far from the inner disk edge, close to the snow line, and may act as a trap for aerodynamically coupled solids. We suggest that circumbinary planet formation may be easier near this preferential location than for disks around single stars. However, dead zones around wide binaries are less likely and hence planet formation may be more difficult there.
