冷巨行星的经验质量-半径关系

An Empirical Mass-Radius Relation for Cool Giant Planets

Daniel P. Thorngren, Mark S. Marley, Jonathan J. Fortney

摘要:

行星的质量和半径之间的概率关系可用于多种目的,包括估计行星发现工作的产量和已知质量的已发现行星的半径。以前对巨行星的研究往往没有对冷巨星和(膨胀的)热巨星进行重要的区分。这可能导致不必要的大的不确定性和高估的半径较冷的对象。使用分层bavelet建模和AIC模型选择标准,我们确定了一个经验的质量半径关系的冷巨行星超过15个地球质量。它采用对数质量的二次函数形式,具有幂律分散。MCMC参数的不确定性,我们比较我们的结果与内部结构模型的输出和半径的太阳系巨行星,这适合我们的关系舒适。

英文摘要:

Probabilistic relationships between the mass and radius of planets are useful for a variety of purposes, including estimating the yields of planet discovery efforts and the radii of discovered planets given their masses. Previous work on giant planets often do not make the important distinction between cool and (inflated) hot giants. This can lead to needlessly large uncertainties and overestimated radii for the cooler objects. Using hierarchical bayesian modeling and the AIC model selection criterion, we identify an empirical mass-radius relationship for cool giant planets above 15 Earth masses. It takes the form of a quadratic function in log mass, with a power-law dispersion. Parametric uncertainties from MCMC are provided, and we compare our results with the outputs of interior structure models and the radii of the solar system giant planets, which fit comfortably within our relation.
