Mg/Si对行星外难熔氧收支的影响

Effects of Mg/Si on Exoplanetary Refractory Oxygen Budget

Cayman T. Unterborn, Wendy R. Panero

摘要:

太阳光球的耐火元素的丰度反映地球的~10摩尔%,当归一化为占主导地位的类地行星形成元素镁,硅和铁。这允许采用太阳组成作为地球组成的数量级代理。然而,在没有通过冷凝序列计算和后冷凝过程确定初始微行星的组成的情况下,这种恒星和类地行星丰度的镜像在多大程度上适用于其他恒星-行星系统还不清楚。我们提出了开源的任意组成冷凝序列计算器(ArCCoS),以评估母星的元素组成如何影响行星构建材料的元素组成,包括星子内的氧化程度。我们展示了实用的ArCCoS的恒星耐火元素Mg和Si的丰度的变化如何影响的凝结氧,行星的核心和硅酸盐地幔材料的相对比例的控制因素。因此,这消除了解释系外行星结构的显着简并,并为该模型的有效性提供了观测测试。

英文摘要:

Solar photospheric abundances of refractory elements mirror the Earth's to within ~10 mol% when normalized to the dominant terrestrial planet-forming elements Mg, Si and Fe. This allows for the adoption of Solar composition as an order-of-magnitude proxy for Earth's. It is not known, however, the degree to which this mirroring of stellar and terrestrial planet abundances holds true for other star-planet systems without determination of the composition of initial planetesimals via condensation sequence calculations and post condensation processes. We present the open-source Arbitrary Composition Condensation Sequence calculator (ArCCoS) to assess how the elemental composition of a parent star affects that of the planet-building material, including the extent of oxidation within the planetesimals. We demonstrate the utility of ArCCoS by showing how variations in the abundance of the stellar refractory elements Mg and Si affect the condensation of oxygen, a controlling factor in the relative proportions of planetary core and silicate mantle material. This, thereby, removes significant degeneracy in the interpretation of the structures of exoplanets as well as providing observational tests for the validity of this model.
