摘要:
随着太阳系巨行星建模的最新进展,对它们形成和演化的剩余问题的理解取得了快速进展。然而,这种进展大多忽略了对土星结构内部施加的重要约束,即其环的观测振荡频率。在此,我们研究了土星演化的初始条件,经过4.56 Gyr的演化后,产生允许振荡频率与通过土星环地震学观测到的频率一致的行星结构。我们专注于没有致密岩石核心的模型,实现了与当前演化模型中大多数观测到的土星属性以及观测到的振荡频谱中的关键频率的良好一致。我们的初步工作表明,土星内部稳定层状区域可能比之前认为的要稍微少一些(约0.4-0.5 R_Sat),这对于协调地震约束与演化模型至关重要。我们还初步发现,由以前静态结构建模推断出的土星环地震学中的深层氦梯度可能不需要重现观测到的地震学数据。
英文摘要:
With recent advances in the modeling of the solar system giant planets, rapid progress has been made in understanding the remaining questions pertaining to their formation and evolution. However, this progress has largely neglected the significant constraints on the interior of Saturn's structure imposed by the observed oscillation frequencies in its rings. Here, we study initial conditions for Saturn's evolution that, after $4.56\;\mathrm{Gyr}$ of evolution, give rise to planetary structures admitting oscillation frequencies consistent with those observed via Saturn's ring seismology. Restricting our attention to models without compact rocky cores, we achieve simultaneous good agreement with most observed properties of Saturn at the level of current evolutionary models and with key frequencies in the observed oscillation spectrum. Our preliminary work suggests that Saturn's interior stably stratified region may be moderately less extended ($\sim 0.4$--$0.5R_{\rm Sat}$) than previously thought, which is important for reconciling the seismic constraints with evolutionary models. We also tentatively find that the deep helium gradients inferred by previous, static structural modelling of Saturn's ring seismology may not be required to reproduce the observed seismology data.
