Birth cluster simulations of planetary systems with multiple super-Earths: initial conditions for white dwarf pollution drivers

چکیده
Previous investigations have revealed that eccentric super-Earths represent a class of planets which are particularly effective at transporting minor bodies towards white dwarfs and subsequently polluting their atmospheres with observable chemical signatures. However, the lack discoveries these beyond few astronomical units from host stars prompts better understanding orbital architectures nascent birth cluster. Here, we perform stellar cluster simulations 3-planet 7-planet systems containing on initially circular, coplanar orbits. We adopt typical masses main-sequence progenitors ($1.5\,\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$-$2.5\,\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$) as include 8,000 following Kroupa initial mass function in our clusters. Our results reveal about 30 per cent simulated generate eccentricities least 0.1 by time dissolution, would aid dwarf pollution. provide output parameters to community for potential use conditions subsequent evolution simulations.

Super-Earths and dynamical stability of planetary systems: first parallel GPU simulations using GENGA
We report on the stability of hypothetical super-Earths in the habitable zone of known multiplanetary systems. Most of them have not yet been studied in detail concerning the existence of additional low-mass planets. The new N-body code GENGA developed at the University of Zürich allows us to perform numerous N-body simulations in parallel on graphics processing units. With this numerical tool,...
متن کاملFormation and Tidal Evolution of Hot Super-earths in Multiple Planetary Systems
Hot super-Earths are exoplanets with masses ≤ 10M⊕ and orbital periods≤ 20 days. Around 8 hot super-Earths have been discovered in the neighborhood of solar system. In this lecture, we review the mechanisms for the formation of hot super-Earths, dynamical effects that play important roles in sculpting the architecture of the multiple planetary systems. Two example systems (HD 40307 and GJ 436) ...
متن کاملRapid Formation of Super-Earths around M Dwarf Stars
While the recent microlensing discoveries of super-Earths orbiting two M dwarf stars have been taken as support for the core accretion mechanism of giant planet formation, we show here that these planets could also have been formed by the competing mechanism of disk instability, coupled with photoevaporative loss of their gaseous envelopes by a strong external source of UV radiation, i.e., an O...
متن کاملThe HD 40307 Planetary System: Super-Earths or Mini-Neptunes?
Three planets with minimum masses less than 10 M⊕ orbit the star HD 40307, suggesting these planets may be rocky. However, with only radial velocity data, it is impossible to determine if these planets are rocky or gaseous. Here we exploit various dynamical features of the system in order to assess the physical properties of the planets. Observations allow for circular orbits, but a numerical i...
متن کاملA dynamically-packed planetary system around GJ 667C with three super-Earths in its habitable zone ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆
Context. Since low-mass stars have low luminosities, orbits at which liquid water can exist on Earth-sized planets are relatively close-in, which produces Doppler signals that are detectable using state-of-the-art Doppler spectroscopy. Aims. GJ 667C is already known to be orbited by two super-Earth candidates. We have applied recently developed data analysis methods to investigate whether the d...
