最近研究表明,小型近距离系外行星的半径分布呈双峰状。光蒸发模型预测这种双峰。在光蒸发的情况下,一些行星完全被剥夺了原始的H/He大气,而另一些则保留了它们。通过比较光蒸发模型和观测到的行星种群,可以揭示标准观测无法获得的行星种群细节,例如核心质量分布和核心组成。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个层次推理分析的分布接近的系外行星使用前向模型的光蒸发演化。我们使用这个模型来约束行星的核心组成,核心质量和初始大气质量分数的分布。我们发现核心质量分布是峰值的,峰值质量为$\sim 4$ M $_\oplus$。大体积岩芯成分与岩石/铁混合物一致,即贫冰和"类地球“;岩芯成分的分布范围很窄(在2 $σ$水平上铁质量分数的$\lesssim 16\%$变化),并与零一致。这一结果有利于在水/冰贫乏的环境中形成核心。我们发现,大多数行星吸积的H/He信封具有典型的质量分数$\sim 4\%$ ;只有一小部分没有吸积大量的H/He和“岩石”。我们发现,通过光蒸发形成的超级地球数量是没有大量H/He大气形成的超级地球数量的四倍。最后,我们发现核心吸积理论高估了H/He核心的吸积量,其系数为$\sim 5$,指向额外的质量损失机制(例如"蒸发“)或对核心吸积理论的修改。
英文摘要:
The radius distribution of small, close-in exoplanets has recently been shown to be bimodal. The photoevaporation model predicted this bimodality. In the photoevaporation scenario, some planets are completely stripped of their primordial H/He atmospheres, whereas others retain them. Comparisons between the photoevaporation model and observed planetary populations have the power to unveil details of the planet population inaccessible by standard observations, such as the core mass distribution and core composition. In this work, we present a hierarchical inference analysis on the distribution of close-in exoplanets using forward-models of photoevaporation evolution. We use this model to constrain the planetary distributions for core composition, core mass and initial atmospheric mass fraction. We find that the core-mass distribution is peaked, with a peak-mass of $\sim 4$M$_\oplus$. The bulk core-composition is consistent with a rock/iron mixture that is ice-poor and ``Earth-like''; the spread in core-composition is found to be narrow ($\lesssim 16\%$ variation in iron-mass fraction at the 2$σ$ level) and consistent with zero. This result favours core formation in a water/ice poor environment. We find the majority of planets accreted a H/He envelope with a typical mass fraction of $\sim 4\%$; only a small fraction did not accrete large amounts of H/He and were ``born-rocky''. We find four-times as many super-Earths were formed through photoevaporation, as formed without a large H/He atmosphere. Finally, we find core-accretion theory over-predicts the amount of H/He cores would have accreted by a factor of $\sim 5$, pointing to additional mass-loss mechanisms (e.g. ``boil-off'') or modifications to core-accretion theory.
