摘要:

碎片光盘往往是假设紧凑的尘埃颗粒建模,但越来越多的证据存在的多孔grains found. We的目的是量化的系统误差时引入的建模碎片光盘组成的多孔灰尘与光盘模型假设球形,紧凑的晶粒。我们通过快速,但简单的有效介质理论计算的光学尘埃的性质。理论上的下限的尺寸分布-所谓的“井喷尺寸”-比较的情况下,紧凑和多孔颗粒。最后,我们模拟观察假设的碎片光盘具有不同的孔隙度和饲料到一个拟合过程中只使用紧凑的晶粒。分析了致密晶粒的计算结果与基于多孔晶粒的原始模型的偏差。我们发现,井喷的大小增加,增加晶粒孔隙度高达两个因素。作为一个函数的孔隙度和恒星光度的井喷大小的解析近似函数。当受到径向轮廓的约束时,几何圆盘设置的分析几乎不受孔隙度的影响。然而,所确定的最小晶粒尺寸和使用致密晶粒得到的晶粒尺寸分布的斜率被显著高估。因此,出乎意料的高比例的最小晶粒尺寸井喷尺寸发现以前的研究使用紧凑的颗粒可以部分地描述尘埃颗粒孔隙度,虽然效果是不够强大,完全解释的趋势。

英文摘要:

Debris discs are often modelled assuming compact dust grains, but more and more evidence for the presence of porous grains is found. We aim at quantifying the systematic errors introduced when modelling debris discs composed of porous dust with a disc model assuming spherical, compact grains. We calculate the optical dust properties derived via the fast, but simple effective medium theory. The theoretical lower boundary of the size distribution -- the so-called 'blowout size' -- is compared in the cases of compact and porous grains. Finally, we simulate observations of hypothetical debris discs with different porosities and feed them into a fitting procedure using only compact grains. The deviations of the results for compact grains from the original model based on porous grains are analysed. We find that the blowout size increases with increasing grain porosity up to a factor of two. An analytical approximation function for the blowout size as a function of porosity and stellar luminosity is derived. The analysis of the geometrical disc set-up, when constrained by radial profiles, are barely affected by the porosity. However, the determined minimum grain size and the slope of the grain size distribution derived using compact grains are significantly overestimated. Thus, the unexpectedly high ratio of minimum grain size to blowout size found by previous studies using compact grains can be partially described by dust grain porosity, although the effect is not strong enough to completely explain the trend.
