Gaia 即将提供冷巨行星的普查数据。然而，天体测量信号包含所有伴星的叠加反射运动，因此行星信号不能单独处理。我们因此研究了 Gaia 对单行星和双行星系统的探测能力，特别关注接近 2:1 平均运动共振的系统。Gaia 能够探测双行星系统，尽管信噪比较低的行星需要更高的信噪比阈值，尤其是当外行星质量更大且接近 2:1 共振时。当对圆形的双行星共振系统拟合单行星模型时，得到的拟合结果在偏心率（高达 e = 0.8）、质量（高达 100%）和倾角（高达 50 度）上表现出偏差。当行星的天体测量特征相似时，偏差最大，因为组合轨道信号偏离单一开普勒轨道的程度最大。许多这样的系统可以通过贝叶斯模型选择被识别为具有两颗行星。尽管如此，在某些情况下，第二颗行星由于其信噪比而隐藏且无法探测，导致外行星轨道参数出现这些偏差。当外行星的质量大约是内行星的三倍以上时，轨道近似使我们能够从偏差中恢复天体测量的偏心率简并。当行星处于动力学共振时，在足够长的基线（例如 DR5）上观测到的拱线进动有助于在短轨道周期时打破简并。总体而言，这些偏差可能显著影响基于 Gaia 全群人口统计的行星形成、迁移和演化模型的约束。
英文摘要
Gaia will soon provide a census of cold giant planets. However, an astrometric signal contains the superimposed reflex motion of all companions, so planetary signals cannot be treated individually. We therefore investigate Gaia's planet-detection capabilities for 1-planet and 2-planet systems, with special attention to systems near 2:1 mean-motion resonance. Gaia can detect 2-planet systems, although the lower-S/N planet requires a higher S/N threshold, especially when the outer planet is more massive and near 2:1 commensurability. When fitting a 1-planet model to a circular 2-planet resonant system, the resulting fit shows biases in eccentricity (up to e = 0.8), mass (up to 100%), and inclination (up to 50 deg). The bias is maximised when the planets' astrometric signatures are similar, since the combined orbital signal deviates most from a single Keplerian orbit. Many of these systems can be identified as having 2 planets using Bayesian model selection. Still, in some cases the second planet is hidden and undetectable due to its S/N, leading to these biases for the outer planet's orbital parameters. When the outer planet is roughly over three times as massive as the inner planet, orbital approximations allow us to recover the astrometric resoeccentric degeneracy from the bias. When the planets are in dynamical resonance, apsidal precession observed over a long enough baseline (e.g. DR5) can contribute to breaking the degeneracy at short orbital periods. Overall, these biases might significantly affect constraints on planet formation, migration, and evolution models from Gaia population-wide demographics.
