太阳系外行星系统的架构分类

Architecture Classification for Extrasolar Planetary Systems

Alex R. Howe, Juliette C. Becker, Christopher C. Stark, Fred C. Adams

AI总结:

该研究基于近6000颗已确认系外行星样本,提出按内外区域及动力学特征划分行星系统架构的分类框架,可低歧义归类几乎所有三行星以上系统。

摘要:

本文基于对已确认系外行星总体的完整普查,提出了一个行星系统架构分类框架。随着已发现的已确认系外行星接近6000颗,其中包括300多个拥有三颗或更多行星的多行星系统,当前观测样本已经达到这样一个阶段:建立一个将观测到的总体划分为有意义类别的分类系统既可行又有用。该框架提供了将行星系统划分为内区和外区的准则,随后进一步将内系统划分为不同的动力学类别。所得类别包括由均一大小的小行星组成的“peas-in-a-pod systems(豆荚里的豌豆系统)”,以及由大行星和小行星混合组成的“warm Jupiter systems(暖木星系统)”,此外还有“closely-spaced systems(近距间隔系统)”和“gapped systems(间隙系统)”,并根据间隙位置和其他特征作进一步细分。这些类别能够以最小的歧义对几乎所有已确认的、拥有三颗或更多行星的系统进行分类。我们在考虑观测选择效应的情况下,定性考察了每类系统的相对普遍程度,以及热木星存在等其他显著特征。文中还讨论了少数离群系统,并提出了尚未发现的潜在额外系统类别。

英文摘要:

This paper presents a classification framework for the architectures of planetary systems based on a complete survey of the confirmed exoplanet population. With nearly 6000 confirmed exoplanets discovered, including more than 300 multiplanet systems with three or more planets, the current observational sample has reached the point where it is both feasible and useful to build a classification system that divides the observed population into meaningful categories. This framework provides a criterion to split planetary systems into inner and outer regimes, and then further divides inner systems into dynamical classes. The resulting categories include "peas-in-a-pod systems" with uniformly small planets and "warm Jupiter systems" with a mix of large and small planets, as well as "closely-spaced systems" and "gapped systems," with further subdivisions based on the locations of gaps and other features. These categories can classify nearly all of the confirmed systems with three or more planets with minimal ambiguity. We qualitatively examine the relative prevalence of each type of system, subject to observational selection effects, as well as other notable features such as the presence of hot Jupiters. A small number of outlier systems are also discussed. Potential additional classes of systems yet to be discovered are proposed.
