W. Benz, S. Ida, Y. Alibert, D. N. C. Lin, C. Mordasini

摘要:

随着越来越多的系外行星被发现,人口作为一个整体的统计特性成为行星形成模型提供了一个详细的过程中发挥作用,在这个形成和观察到的人口之间的联系的描述独特的约束。行星人口综合提供了这样一种联系。该方法允许研究各个过程的不同物理模型(例如,原行星盘结构和演化、星子形成、气体吸积、迁移等)影响新兴行星人口的整体属性。出于必要,行星人口合成依赖于对复杂过程的简化描述。这些描述可以从这些过程的更详细的专门模拟中获得。本章的目的是双重的:1)提供进入行星人口合成的两种主要方法的物理学的概述,2)展示所取得的一些结果,并说明如何使用它来提取模型的约束条件,并帮助解释观测结果。

英文摘要:

With the increasing number of exoplanets discovered, statistical properties of the population as a whole become unique constraints on planet formation models provided a link between the description of the detailed processes playing a role in this formation and the observed population can be established. Planet population synthesis provides such a link. The approach allows to study how different physical models of individual processes (e.g., proto-planetary disc structure and evolution, planetesimal formation, gas accretion, migration, etc.) affect the overall properties of the population of emerging planets. By necessity, planet population synthesis relies on simplified descriptions of complex processes. These descriptions can be obtained from more detailed specialised simulations of these processes. The objective of this chapter is twofold: 1) provide an overview of the physics entering in the two main approaches to planet population synthesis and 2) present some of the results achieved as well as illustrate how it can be used to extract constraints on the models and to help interpret observations.
