棕矮星与系外行星的关系

Relation between Brown Dwarfs and Exoplanets

摘要:

自发现系外行星以来,天文学中最具争议的主题之一是我们如何区分最大质量的此类物体与像棕矮星(BD)这样的极低质量恒星?我们一直在寻找物理特征差异的证据,这些差异可能与不同的形成过程有关。使用一个新的诊断图,比较重子引力势(BGP)的距离,从他们的主恒星,我们已经分类的样本355研究的系外行星根据其可能的结构。然后,我们将系外行星与87个确认的BD样本进行了比较,确定了BGP中可能是两个物体共同的范围。通过分析系外行星和BD在这些不同BGP范围内的质量半径关系(MRR),我们能够区分不同的特征行为。通过与文献中的模型进行比较,我们的结果表明,BD和大质量系外行星可能具有类似的结构,主要由液态金属氢(LMH)组成。

英文摘要:

One of the most debated subjects in Astronomy since the discovery of exoplanets is how can we distinguish the most massive of such objects from very-low mass stars like Brown Dwarfs (BDs)? We have been looking for evidences of a difference in physical characteristics that could be related to different formation processes. Using a new diagnostic diagram that compares the baryonic gravitational potential (BGP) with the distances from their host stars, we have classified a sample of 355 well-studied exoplanets according to their possible structures. We have then compared the exoplanets to a sample of 87 confirmed BDs, identifying a range in BGP that could be common to both objects. By analyzing the mass-radius relations (MRR) of the exoplanets and BDs in those different BGP ranges, we were able to distinguish different characteristic behaviors. By comparing with models in the literature, our results suggest that BDs and massive exoplanets might have similar structures dominated by liquid metallic hydrogen (LMH).
