灭菌影响对Proxima b造成的寿命风险

Risks for Life on Proxima b from Sterilizing Impacts

Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb

摘要:

我们认为,位于Proxima b和Proxima c之间的碎片带将对大小行星撞击的速率造成影响,这可能会使Proxima b失去生命。ALMA或JWST未来的观测可能会限制小行星带在威胁生命的区域的存在。我们推广我们的速率计算灭菌的系统中的一个小行星带和外行星的宜居行星的影响。

英文摘要:

We consider the implications that a debris belt located between Proxima b and Proxima c would pose for the rate of large asteroid impacts that could sterilize Proxima b from life. Future observations by ALMA or JWST could constrain the existence of an asteroid belt in the life-threatening regime. We generalize our rate calculation of sterilizing impacts for habitable planets in systems with an asteroid belt and an outer planet.
