热木星致密magnetosphere中电子回旋脉塞不稳定性的抑制

Inhibition of the electron cyclotron maser instability in the dense magnetosphere of a hot Jupiter

Simon Daley-Yates, Ian R. Stevens

摘要:

热木星(HJ)型系外行星预计将通过电子回旋脉泽不稳定性(ECMI)产生MHz范围内的强无线电发射。迄今为止,没有进行过可重复的检测。为了解释没有观测结果,我们进行3D自适应混乱细化(AMR)磁流体动力学(MHD)模拟的太阳型恒星和HJ之间的磁相互作用使用公开可用的代码PLUTO。结果被用来计算效率的ECMI在生产可检测的无线电发射从行星磁层。我们还计算了ECMI发射的频率,提供了一个上限和下限,将其放置在由于地球的电离层截止$\sim 10 \ \mathrm{MHz}$的可探测性的极限。还确定了可用于ECMI的入射动能和磁功率,并计算了观测者在$10 \ \mathrm{pc}$处的$0.069 \ \mathrm{mJy}$通量。磁层的特点也进行了分析的弓冲击,形成的上游的行星。这种激波对应于碰撞风系的薄壳模型。结果与碰撞的风系统一致。模拟结果表明,由于行星吸收了主星的紫外辐射,其大气层的膨胀完全抑制了ECMI过程。密度,速度,温度和行星风的磁场被发现,导致在磁层的等离子体频率被提高以上,由于ECMI过程使行星在无线电MHz频率检测不到。

英文摘要:

Hot Jupiter (HJ) type exoplanets are expected to produce strong radio emission in the MHz range via the Electron Cyclotron Maser Instability (ECMI). To date, no repeatable detections have been made. To explain the absence of observational results, we conduct 3D adaptive mess refinement (AMR) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the magnetic interactions between a solar type star and HJ using the publicly available code PLUTO. The results are used to calculate the efficiency of the ECMI at producing detectable radio emission from the planets magnetosphere. We also calculate the frequency of the ECMI emission, providing an upper and lower bounds, placing it at the limits of detectability due to Earth's ionospheric cutoff of $\sim 10 \ \mathrm{MHz}$. The incident kinetic and magnetic power available to the ECMI is also determined and a flux of $0.069 \ \mathrm{mJy}$ for an observer at $10 \ \mathrm{pc}$ is calculated. The magnetosphere is also characterized and an analysis of the bow shock which forms upstream of the planet is conducted. This shock corresponds to the thin shell model for a colliding wind system. A result consistent with a colliding wind system. The simulation results show that the ECMI process is completely inhibited by the planets expanding atmosphere, due to absorption of UV radiation form the host star. The density, velocity, temperature and magnetic field of the planetary wind are found to result in a magnetosphere where the plasma frequency is raised above that due to the ECMI process making the planet undetectable at radio MHz frequencies.
