恒星自转及其与系外行星以氢为主的大气演化的联系

Stellar rotation and its connection to the evolution of hydrogen-dominated atmospheres of exoplanets

Daria Kubyshkina

摘要:

已知的低到中等质量系外行星的数量在密度上表现出很大的差异,这被认为是由于行星大气的多样性,因此受到行星大气质量损失的控制。长期大气逃逸的主要驱动力之一是吸收宿主恒星的高能XUV辐射。对于主序类太阳恒星,自转和XUV辐射是密切相关的,旋转速度较快的恒星XUV更亮,自转和XUV都随着时间的推移而减少。然而,这种演化并不遵循一条独特的路径,因为出生时具有相同质量和金属丰度的恒星可以有非常不同的初始旋转速率。这种非唯一性保持了大约1 Gyr,而系外行星的大气逃逸是最强的。这一时期的大气质量损失往往决定了行星的未来及其在观测人口中的地位。因此,可能的恒星历史的多样性可能是影响星族研究预测的一个不确定因素。在这里,我探索它与不同行星和不同宿主恒星的相关性。

英文摘要:

The population of known low- to intermediate-mass exoplanets shows a large spread in densities, which is believed to be due to the diversity of planetary atmospheres and thus controlled by planetary atmospheric mass loss. One of the main drivers of long-term atmospheric escape is the absorption of high-energy XUV radiation from the host star. For main sequence solar-like stars, rotation and XUV radiation are closely connected, with faster rotating stars being XUV brighter and with both rotation and XUV decreasing with time. This evolution, however, does not follow a unique path, as stars born with the same mass and metallicity can have widely different initial rotation rates. This non-uniqueness holds up to about 1 Gyr, while atmospheric escape from exoplanets is strongest. The atmospheric mass loss through this period is often deciding the future of the planet and its position in the observed population. Therefore, the diversity of possible stellar histories can be an uncertain factor affecting the predictions of population studies. Here, I explore its relevance for different planets and different host stars.
