彗星可以向岩石行星提供挥发物和生命前体物质，但脆弱分子的存活取决于大气进入和撞击过程。紧凑的行星链可以以低速度将彗星向内输运。我们测试了适度的行星偏心率是否保持这一路径。我们追踪了64,000颗彗星，从八行星链中最外侧两颗行星之间的区域，到达围绕一颗0.1倍太阳质量恒星运行的温带轨道上的地球质量行星。第二组模拟隔离了到最内层行星的最后一次输运，初始行星偏心率$e_{p,0}=0$--$0.05$，间隔为10和30个相互希尔半径；一个$\Delta=12$的比较测试了在$\Delta=10$处接近3:2周期比的影响。在$e_{p,0}=0.05$时，被最外层行星拦截的彗星比例下降11%，而到达内层区域的彗星增加6%。最内层行星的撞击概率变化小于3%，而低于15公里/秒的撞击比例从25%降至18%。所有注入彗星中产生低于15公里/秒撞击的比例因此减少了30%。对最终近距离遭遇前彗星-行星速度的测量表明，偏心率优先移除最慢的接近。应用撞击化学模型得到HCN存活等效产率降低31%。因此，适度的行星偏心率可以增加向内输运，同时减少在化学有利撞击条件下输送的生命前体物质。
英文摘要
Comets can supply volatile and prebiotic material to rocky planets, but survival of fragile molecules depends on atmospheric entry and impact. Compact planet chains can transfer comets inward at low velocity. We test whether modest planetary eccentricity preserves this route. We follow 64,000 comets from the region between the two outermost planets of an eight-planet chain to an Earth-mass planet on a temperate orbit around a $0.1 M_\odot$ star. A second suite of simulations isolates the last transfer to the innermost planet across initial planet eccentricities $e_{p,0}=0$--$0.05$ and separations of 10 and 30 mutual Hill radii; a $Δ=12$ comparison tests the influence of the near-3:2 period ratio at $Δ=10$. At $e_{p,0}=0.05$, the fraction of comets intercepted by the outermost planet falls by 11 per cent and 6 per cent more reach the inner region. The innermost planet's impact probability changes by less than 3 per cent, while the fraction of impacts below 15 km s$^{-1}$ falls from 25 to 18 per cent. The fraction of all injected comets producing impacts below 15 km s$^{-1}$ consequently decreases by 30 per cent. Measurements of the comet-planet speed before the final close encounter show that eccentricity preferentially removes the slowest approaches. Applying an impact-chemistry model gives a 31 per cent lower HCN survival-equivalent yield. Modest planetary eccentricity can therefore increase inward transport while reducing the prebiotic material delivered under chemically favourable impact conditions.
