摘要:

超短周期行星提供了一个窗口,进入行星轨道所占据的参数空间的内边缘。在一个特别有趣的多行星系统中,超短周期行星的两侧是短周期的同伴,并且外行星占据了一个明显不同的动力学状态。在观测数据库中,这种现象表现为少数恒星拥有紧密排列的共面行星系统以及一颗超短周期行星,其轨道相对于前者的共同平面不对齐。在这项工作中,我们探讨了两种不同的机制,可以产生一个超短周期的行星,是不对准的紧凑的行星系的其余部分:自然去耦的内部和外部系统之间通过恒星四极矩,和去耦被迫与微调轨道参数的外部同伴。这两个过程以不同的时间尺度运作,因此可以同时发生。在这项工作中,我们使用的K2-266系统作为一个说明性的例子来阐明这两个过程的动力学,并强调类型的约束,可能会出现关于系统的动力学历史的超短周期行星。

英文摘要:

Ultra-short period planets provide a window into the inner edge of the parameter space occupied by planetary orbits. In one particularly intriguing class of multi-planet systems, the ultra-short period planet is flanked by short-period companions, and the outer planets occupy a discernibly distinct dynamical state. In the observational database, this phenomenon is represented by a small number of stars hosting systems of tightly packed co-planar planets as well as an ultra-short period planet, whose orbit of is misaligned relative to the mutual plane of the former. In this work, we explore two different mechanisms that can produce an ultra-short period planet that is misaligned with the rest of its compact planetary system: natural decoupling between the inner and outer system via the stellar quadrupole moment, and decoupling forced by an external companion with finely-tuned orbital parameters. These two processes operate with different timescales, and can thus occur simultaneously. In this work, we use the K2-266 system as an illustrative example to elucidate the dynamics of these two processes, and highlight the types of constraints that may arise regarding the dynamical histories of systems hosting ultra-short period planets.
