开普勒环双星系统中可居住特洛伊行星的探测

On the Detection of Habitable Trojan Planets in the Kepler Circumbinary Systems

Jeffrey J. Sudol, Nader Haghighipour

摘要:

本文介绍了在开普勒宜居带环联行星系(开普勒-16,-47,-453,-1647,-1661)中探测可居住特洛伊行星的前景研究结果。我们整合了10,000个独立的N体系统(N= 4,6)的轨道,每个系统都有一个地球质量的天体,位于宿主HZ环双星行星的L4和L5拉格朗日点附近的随机选择的轨道上。我们发现,稳定的特洛伊行星被限制在一个狭窄的范围内的半长轴在所有五个系统和有限的小偏心率在开普勒-16,-47,和-1661。为了评估探测这些可居住的特洛伊行星的前景,我们计算了它们在其宿主天体的过境时间中引起的变化幅度。结果表明,凌日时间变化(TTV)的平均幅度与凌日行星的质量相关,范围从开普勒-16 b的70分钟到开普勒-47 c的390分钟。我们的分析表明,由这些特洛伊机构造成的环联行星的TTV落在开普勒望远镜的长节奏数据获得的定时精度的可检测范围内。后者指出开普勒数据是寻找可居住的特洛伊行星的可行来源。

英文摘要:

We present the results of a study of the prospect of detecting habitable Trojan planets in the Kepler Habitable Zone circumbinary planetary systems (Kepler-16, -47, -453, -1647, -1661). We integrated the orbits of 10,000 separate N-body systems (N=4,6), each with a one Earth-mass body in a randomly selected orbit near the L4 and L5 Lagrangian points of the host HZ circumbinary planet. We find that stable Trojan planets are restricted to a narrow range of semimajor axes in all five systems and limited to small eccentricities in Kepler-16, -47, and -1661. To assess the prospect of the detection of these habitable Trojan planets, we calculated the amplitudes of the variations they cause in the transit timing of their host bodies. Results show that the mean amplitudes of the transit timing variations (TTVs) correlate with the mass of the transiting planet and range from 70 minutes for Kepler-16b to 390 minutes for Kepler-47c. Our analysis indicates that the TTVs of the circumbinary planets caused by these Trojan bodies fall within the detectable range of timing precision obtained from the Kepler telescope's long-cadence data. The latter points to Kepler data as a viable source to search for habitable Trojan planets.
