受近期观测结果的启发——观测显示碎屑盘中的环比原行星盘中的环更宽，本文考虑了一种图景：在径向狭窄尘埃 trap 中形成的星子通过相互散射径向扩散至碎屑环。在该图景下，根据理论的 t^(1/5) 演化轨迹，将已分辨碎屑环的相对宽度（Δr/r）回溯至几 Myr 时，可重现原行星盘的环分布。我们推断出在碎屑环年龄时达到观测到的宽度所需的环质量与单个星子质量的乘积 M_disk×m，其范围为 10^(-3) 至 10^3 M⊕²。M_disk×m 的分布似乎与恒星质量相关，在 1.5 至 2 M⊕ 处达到峰值，这与巨系外行星出现率的恒星质量依赖性相似。已分辨碎屑环的总体接近 Δr/r = 10h 的均分关系，该关系针对形成时狭窄的星子环，典型的已分辨碎屑盘目前仍预计会在径向和垂直方向上变宽。若质量足够大（约 10 M⊕），这种径向变宽会在 10 Myr 内将几个水星质量天体送入类地行星区域，使碎屑盘成为破坏开普勒行星共振链的星子的合理来源。在 Gyr 时间尺度内，若外星星子带由月球大小或更大的天体组成，还会将其约 1% 的质量抛入星际空间，这表明大质量碎屑盘缓慢且稳定的固有演化可能对类地行星大小天体的星际自由漂浮天体种群有贡献。
英文摘要
Motivated by recent observations suggesting rings found in debris disks are wider than those in protoplanetary disks, we consider a picture in which planetesimals formed in radially narrow dust traps radially diffuse into debris rings via mutual scattering. Under this picture, evolving the fractional widths ($Δr/r$) of resolved debris rings back to a few Myr according to the theoretical $t^{1/5}$ evolutionary trajectory reproduces the protoplanetary ring distribution. We inferred the product of the ring mass and individual planetesimal mass required to reach the observed debris ring widths at their ages, finding that $M_\mathrm{disk}\times m$ ranges from $10^{-3}$ to $10^{3} \, M_\oplus^2$. The distribution of $M_\mathrm{disk} \times m$ appears to correlate with the stellar mass, peaking at 1.5 to 2 $M_\odot$, which resembles the stellar mass dependence of the giant exoplanet occurrence rate. The population of resolved debris rings lie close to the $Δr / r = 10 \, h$ equipartition relation expected of a planetesimal ring that formed narrow, with typical resolved debris disks still expected to be broadening radially and vertically at present. If sufficiently massive ($\sim$10 $M_\oplus$), this radial broadening can send a few Mercurys to the terrestrial region within 10 Myr, making debris disks a plausible source of planetesimals disrupting resonant chains among Kepler planets. Within Gyr timescales, outer planetesimal belts can also eject $\sim$1% of their mass into interstellar space if they consist of Moon-sized bodies or above, suggesting that the slow and steady intrinsic evolution of massive debris disks could contribute to the interstellar free-floating population of terrestrial-planet-sized bodies.
