AI 中文摘要
在第一篇论文（Nesvorný等人2026）中，我们对开普勒望远镜的凌星观测进行正向建模，以表征近距行星系统的轨道特性。新的种群模型ExoMOD基于开普勒DR25数据校准。本文中，我们使用ExoMOD对近距系统中引力相互作用行星产生的凌星时间变化（TTVs）进行统计预测，并将这些预测与开普勒数据中实际检测到的TTVs进行比较。我们发现，行星-行星相互作用预计不会产生足够多的显著短周期TTVs（PTTV/Porb<10，其中PTTV和Porb分别为TTV周期和轨道周期），以解释从开普勒数据中推断出的短周期TTV信号。因此，大多数测量到的短周期信号必须有不同的起源。可能由行星间引力相互作用产生的长周期TTV统计表明，单次凌星行星拥有可引发TTV的伴星的频率几乎与双凌星行星相同，从而排除了固有单星占多数的多重性分布。对于观测到的多重性m≥3的行星，测量到长周期TTV的行星比例增加到约15%-18%，这表明轨道结构发生了变化。高多重性行星系统具有低间隙复杂性，可能保留了其形成条件的痕迹。最终，我们的工作旨在开发观测与行星形成理论之间更具信息量的反馈机制。
英文摘要
In Paper I (Nesvorný et al. 2026), we forward modeled transit observations of the Kepler telescope to characterize the orbital properties of close-in planetary systems. The new population model, ExoMOD, was calibrated on Kepler's DR25 data. Here we use ExoMOD to statistically predict Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) from gravitationally interacting planets in the close-in systems, and compare these predictions with TTVs actually detected in the Kepler data. We find that planet-planet interactions are not expected to produce significant {\it short-period} TTVs, $P_{\rm TTV}/P_{\rm orb}<10$, where $P_{\rm TTV}$ and $P_{\rm orb}$ are the TTV and orbital periods, often enough to explain the short-period TTV signals inferred from the Kepler data. Most measured short-period signals must therefore have a different origin. The statistics of {\it long-period} TTVs -- likely arising from the gravitational interaction between planets -- indicates that single transiting planets have TTV-inducing companions nearly as often as doubles, thus ruling out multiplicity distributions with a prevalence of intrinsic singles. The fraction of planets with measured long-period TTVs increases to $\simeq 15$-18\% for observed multiplicities $m \geq 3$, suggesting a change in the orbital architecture. High-multiplicity planetary systems have low gap complexities and probably retained a memory of their formation conditions. Ultimately, our work aims at developing a more informative feedback between observations and planet formation theories.
