恒星金属丰度对行星和行星系出现率的影响

Influence of Stellar Metallicity on Occurrence Rates of Planets and Planetary Systems

Wei Zhu

摘要:

我们研究了恒星金属丰度对恒星与行星比例的影响(即,行星系的出现率)和每颗恒星的行星平均数量(即,行星的出现率)。前者直接揭示了行星形成的效率,后者揭示了行星形成演化的最终产物。我们发现,这两个发生率有不同的恒星金属丰度的依赖关系。具体来说,拥有行星的恒星比例随着金属丰度的增加而逐渐增加,对于所有开普勒类行星(周期为$P<400$天,半径为$R_{\rm p}\gtrsim R_\oplus$),[Fe/H]为0.4 dex时,从$\sim$ 25%增加到$\sim$ 36%。在[Fe/H] $\gtrsim0.1$时,每颗恒星的平均行星数量达到一个平台(或可能开始下降)。这可能是由于遥远的巨行星在高金属丰度下的出现造成的,因为近距离的小行星和遥远的巨行星优先共存于同一系统中。

英文摘要:

We study the influence of stellar metallicity on the fraction of stars with planets (i.e., the occurrence rate of planetary systems) and the average number of planets per star (i.e., the occurrence rate of planets). The former directly reveals the planet formation efficiency, whereas the latter reveals the final product of formation and evolution. We show that these two occurrence rates have different dependences on stellar metallicity. Specifically, the fraction of stars with planets rises gradually with metallicity, from $\sim$25% to $\sim$36% for 0.4 dex of [Fe/H] for all Kepler-like planets (period $P<400$ days and radius $R_{\rm p}\gtrsim R_\oplus$). The average number of planets per star reaches a plateau (or possibly starts declining) at [Fe/H]$\gtrsim0.1$. This is plausibly caused by the emergence of distant giant planets at high metallicities, given that the close-in small planets and the distant giants preferentially co-exist in the same system.
