多行星系统的轨道稳定性:高质量下的行为

Orbital Stability of Multi-Planet Systems: Behavior at High Masses

Sarah J. Morrison, Kaitlin M. Kratter

摘要:

在未来几年中,高对比度成像调查预计将揭示宽轨道、大质量系外行星群的特征。到目前为止,已知的大行星质量的伴星屈指可数,但只有一个这样的多行星系统被发现:HR 8799。对于低质量行星系,多行星相互作用对系统结构的形成起着重要的作用。在本文中,我们将探讨这些大质量多行星系统的稳定性。虽然存在的经验关系,预测系统的稳定性尺度与行星间距在低质量,我们表明,外推到超级木星的质量可能会导致高达一个数量级的高估的稳定性大规模,紧密包装的系统。我们发现,在低和高的行星质量,重叠的平均运动共振触发混沌轨道演化,导致系统不稳定。我们将这些行为的差异归因于在高行星-恒星质量比下二阶共振的重要性日益增加。我们使用我们量身定制的高质量行星的结果来估计可能存在于双组分碎片盘系统中的行星的最大数量,其间隙可能表明存在大质量天体。

英文摘要:

In the coming years, high contrast imaging surveys are expected to reveal the characteristics of the population of wide-orbit, massive, exoplanets. To date, a handful of wide planetary mass companions are known, but only one such multi-planet system has been discovered: HR8799. For low mass planetary systems, multi-planet interactions play an important role in setting system architecture. In this paper, we explore the stability of these high mass, multi-planet systems. While empirical relationships exist that predict how system stability scales with planet spacing at low masses, we show that extrapolating to super-Jupiter masses can lead to up to an order of magnitude overestimate of stability for massive, tightly packed systems. We show that at both low and high planet masses, overlapping mean motion resonances trigger chaotic orbital evolution, which leads to system instability. We attribute some of the difference in behavior as a function of mass to the increasing importance of second order resonances at high planet-star mass ratios. We use our tailored high mass planet results to estimate the maximum number of planets that might reside in double component debris disk systems, whose gaps may indicate the presence of massive bodies.
