原行星盘寿命与恒星质量的关系及对巨行星种群的可能影响

Protoplanetary disk lifetimes vs stellar mass and possible implications for giant planet populations

Álvaro Ribas, Hervé Bouy, Bruno Merín

摘要:

我们利用附近年轻恒星形成区的大量年轻恒星样本,研究了原行星盘演化对恒星质量的依赖性。我们更新了我们最近的工作(本系列的论文I)中提出的原行星盘分数,这些分数是从1到1亿年的22个附近(< 500 pc)的星协导出的。我们使用一个子样本的1428光谱确认的成员,研究恒星质量对原行星盘演化的影响。我们把这个样本分为两个恒星质量箱(2 M $_{\odot}$边界)和两个年龄箱(3百万年边界),并使用红外线过度的光球发射分类对象分为三组:原行星盘,进化盘,无盘。均匀分析和偏倚校正允许对所得结果进行统计学显著性相互比较。我们发现强大的统计证据磁盘演化与恒星质量的依赖。我们的研究结果,结合以前的研究磁盘的演变,确认原行星盘演变更快和/或更早的高质量(> 2 M $_{\odot}$)的恒星。我们还发现了一个大致恒定的水平,在整个年龄和恒星质量谱的演变盘。我们得出结论,原行星盘的演化依赖于恒星质量。这种依赖性可能对气体巨行星形成和迁移有重要的影响,并有助于解释大质量恒星周围热彗星的明显缺乏。

英文摘要:

We study the dependence of protoplanetary disk evolution on stellar mass using a large sample of young stellar objects in nearby young star-forming regions. We update the protoplanetary disk fractions presented in our recent work (paper I of this series) derived for 22 nearby (< 500 pc) associations between 1 and 100 Myr. We use a subsample of 1 428 spectroscopically confirmed members to study the impact of stellar mass on protoplanetary disk evolution. We divide this sample into two stellar mass bins (2 M$_{\odot}$ boundary) and two age bins (3 Myr boundary), and use infrared excesses over the photospheric emission to classify objects in three groups: protoplanetary disks, evolved disks, and diskless. The homogeneous analysis and bias corrections allow for a statistically significant inter-comparison of the obtained results. We find robust statistical evidence of disk evolution dependence with stellar mass. Our results, combined with previous studies on disk evolution, confirm that protoplanetary disks evolve faster and/or earlier around high-mass (> 2 M$_{\odot}$) stars. We also find a roughly constant level of evolved disks throughout the whole age and stellar mass spectra. We conclude that protoplanetary disk evolution depends on stellar mass. Such a dependence could have important implications for gas giant planet formation and migration, and could contribute to explaining the apparent paucity of hot Jupiters around high-mass stars.
