摘要:

对行星质量天体吸积速率的测量可以区分不同的行星形成机制,这些机制预测不同的吸积历史。在这封信中,我们使用\HST /WFC 3紫外可见光光度测量吸积率到三个吸积对象,GSC 06214 -00210 b,GQ Lup b和DH Tau b,这是在行星/褐矮星边界和同伴的太阳质量的恒星。过量吸积连续体中的过量光发射产生这三个物体的质量吸积率为$10^{-9}$至$10^{-11}$ \Msol /yr。它们的吸积率比从紫外线过量测量的质量和吸积率之间的相关性所预期的要高一个数量级,如果这些大行星质量的同伴是由原恒星核心碎片形成的,这是适用的。高吸积率和与中心恒星的大分离表明这些物体周围存在巨大的盘。宽行星质量伴星的形成和演化模型应该考虑到它们的大吸积速率。对于吸积率低的天体,H $α$光度与吸积光度的比值很高,这表明寻找H $α$发射可能是寻找吸积行星的有效方法。

英文摘要:

Measurements of accretion rates onto planetary mass objects may distinguish between different planet formation mechanisms, which predict different accretion histories. In this Letter, we use \HST/WFC3 UVIS optical photometry to measure accretion rates onto three accreting objects, GSC06214-00210 b, GQ Lup b, and DH Tau b, that are at the planet/brown dwarf boundary and are companions to solar mass stars. The excess optical emission in the excess accretion continuum yields mass accretion rates of $10^{-9}$ to $10^{-11}$ \Msol/yr for these three objects. Their accretion rates are an order of magnitude higher than expected from the correlation between mass and accretion rates measured from the UV excess, which is applicable if these wide planetary mass companions formed by protostellar core fragmentation. The high accretion rates and large separation from the central star demonstrate the presence of massive disks around these objects. Models for the formation and evolution of wide planetary mass companions should account for their large accretion rates. High ratios of H$α$ luminosity over accretion luminosity for objects with low accretion rates suggest that searches for H$α$ emission may be an efficient way to find accreting planets.
