摘要:

经过验证的行星候选者不需要位于长期稳定的轨道上,主序后恒星演化引发的不稳定性可以产生将岩石物质输送到白矮星的结构,污染它们。巨行星HD 131399 Ab以50-100天文单位的距离围绕母恒星A运行。主星HD 131399 A是一个三重星系的一部分,HD 131399 BC是一个与A星相距几百天文单位的近距离双星。在这里,我们确定了这个系统的命运,并发现(i)沿着主序的稳定性,只有在误差范围内的参数的一个有利的选择,(ii)即使是这样的选择,在几乎每一个例子中,行星是在HD 131399 A的巨分支和白矮星阶段之间的过渡喷射。这一结果提供了一个例子,说明自由漂浮的行星人口如何通过类似的系统增加,以及不稳定性如何在污染的白矮星祖先人口中表现出来。

英文摘要:

Validated planet candidates need not lie on long-term stable orbits, and instability triggered by post-main-sequence stellar evolution can generate architectures which transport rocky material to white dwarfs, polluting them. The giant planet HD 131399Ab orbits its parent A star at a projected separation of about 50-100 au. The host star, HD 131399A, is part of a hierarchical triple with HD 131399BC being a close binary separated by a few hundred au from the A star. Here, we determine the fate of this system, and find that (i) stability along the main sequence is achieved only for a favourable choice of parameters within the errors, and (ii) even for this choice, in almost every instance the planet is ejected during the transition between the giant branch and white dwarf phases of HD 131399A. This result provides an example of both how the free-floating planet population may be enhanced by similar systems, and how instability can manifest in the polluted white dwarf progenitor population.
