近距离系外行星无线电发射变率的时标

Time-scales of close-in exoplanet radio emission variability

V. See, M. Jardine, R. Fares, J. -F. Donati, C. Moutou

摘要:

我们利用恒星磁场图和三维场外推技术研究了系外行星射电辐射的变化。我们使用热木星托管恒星的样本,重点是HD 179949,HD 189733和Tau Boo系统。我们的研究结果表明,两个时间尺度上的无线电发射的变化可能会发生在磁化的热超导体。第一个是恒星-行星系统的会合周期。在这个时间尺度上,变化的起源是行星和行星际等离子体之间的相对运动,这些等离子体与主星共同旋转。第二个时间尺度是磁周期的长度。这个时间尺度上的变化是由恒星场的演化引起的。在这些系统中,行星射电辐射的大小与子行星点和最近的磁极之间的角距成正比。对于Tau Boo b的特殊情况,其轨道周期与其宿主恒星的旋转周期潮汐锁定,变化只发生在磁周期的时间尺度上。在tau Boo b的会合周期上缺乏射电变率是以前的射电发射模型无法预测的,这些模型没有考虑到行星际等离子体在离恒星很小的距离处的共同旋转。

英文摘要:

We investigate the variability of exoplanetary radio emission using stellar magnetic maps and 3D field extrapolation techniques. We use a sample of hot Jupiter hosting stars, focusing on the HD 179949, HD 189733 and tau Boo systems. Our results indicate two time-scales over which radio emission variability may occur at magnetised hot Jupiters. The first is the synodic period of the star-planet system. The origin of variability on this time-scale is the relative motion between the planet and the interplanetary plasma that is co-rotating with the host star. The second time-scale is the length of the magnetic cycle. Variability on this time-scale is caused by evolution of the stellar field. At these systems, the magnitude of planetary radio emission is anticorrelated with the angular separation between the subplanetary point and the nearest magnetic pole. For the special case of tau Boo b, whose orbital period is tidally locked to the rotation period of its host star, variability only occurs on the time-scale of the magnetic cycle. The lack of radio variability on the synodic period at tau Boo b is not predicted by previous radio emission models, which do not account for the co-rotation of the interplanetary plasma at small distances from the star.
