受扰的外彗星污染白矮星

Polluting White Dwarfs with Perturbed Exo-Comets

Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy S. Heyl

摘要:

我们提出了一个模型来解释观测到的碎片盘周围的年轻白矮星和存在的金属线在他们的光谱。恒星演化模型预测AGB的质量损失将是脉冲式的;此外,观测表明大部分质量损失发生在AGB上。在这种情况下,如果白矮星的祖先有行星形成的遗迹,如太阳的奥尔特云或柯伊伯带,以及位于该云中或附近的行星,我们发现多达2%的微行星将落入行星交叉轨道或质量损失后的混乱区域,这取决于行星的位置和质量(从火星到海王星)。这产生了足够质量的彗星,它们可以向恒星散射,形成碎片盘并污染大气。

英文摘要:

We present a model to account for the observed debris disks around young white dwarfs and the presence of metal-lines in their spectra. Stellar evolution models predict that the mass-loss on the AGB will be pulsed; furthermore, observations indicate that the bulk of the mass-loss occurs on the AGB. In this case, if the progenitors of the white dwarfs had remnants of planetary formation like the Sun's Oort cloud or the Kuiper Belt and a planet lying within that cloud or nearby, we find that up to 2% of the planetesimals will fall either into planet-crossing orbits or into chaotic regions after the mass-loss, depending on the location and mass of the planet (from Mars to Neptune). This yields a sufficient mass of comets that can be scattered toward the star, form a debris disk and pollute the atmosphere.
