气体巨星高偏心率迁移过程中内行星系的破坏

The destruction of inner planetary systems during high-eccentricity migration of gas giants

Alexander J. Mustill, Melvyn B. Davies, Anders Johansen

摘要:

热彗星是巨大的行星,其轨道是一个天文单位的百分之几。它们不与低质量的近距离行星共享系统,尽管后者非常常见。有两种热行星的迁移通道被提出:通过原行星气体盘或通过高偏心行星的潮汐循环。我们发现,将成为热彗星的高偏心巨行星清除了系统中任何低质量的内行星,解释了观测到的热彗星缺乏这样的同伴。这种相互作用的一个不太常见的结果是,巨行星被内行星抛射出去。此外,这种相互作用可以在半长轴$<1$ AU的中高偏心率上植入巨行星,这是一个难以填充的区域。我们的工作支持了这样一个假设,即大多数热彗星在高离心率阶段之后到达它们当前的轨道,可能是由其他行星或恒星同伴激发的。

英文摘要:

Hot Jupiters are giant planets on orbits a few hundredths of an AU. They do not share their system with low-mass close-in planets, despite these latter being exceedingly common. Two migration channels for hot Jupiters have been proposed: through a protoplanetary gas disc or by tidal circularisation of highly-eccentric planets. We show that highly-eccentric giant planets that will become hot Jupiters clear out any low-mass inner planets in the system, explaining the observed lack of such companions to hot Jupiters. A less common outcome of the interaction is that the giant planet is ejected by the inner planets. Furthermore, the interaction can implant giant planets on moderately-high eccentricities at semimajor axes $<1$ AU, a region otherwise hard to populate. Our work supports the hypothesis that most hot Jupiters reached their current orbits following a phase of high eccentricity, possibly excited by other planetary or stellar companions.
