Primordial obliquities of brown dwarfs and super-Jupiters from fragmenting gravito-turbulent discs

چکیده
Super-Jupiters, brown dwarfs, and stars can form from the collapse of self-gravitating discs. Such discs are turbulent, with flocculent spiral arms accelerating gas to transonic speeds horizontally vertically. Objects that fragment gravito-turbulent should spin a wide range directions, reflecting random orientations their parent eddies. We show by direct numerical simulation obliquities newly collapsed fragments up 45$^\circ$. Subsequent collisions between further alter obliquity distribution, 90$^\circ$ or down near-zero. The large discovered super-Jupiters on orbits around young may be in origin. Obliquely spinning born inclined relative 20$^\circ$, gravitationally stir leftover material many times pre-fragmentation disc thickness.

Brown Dwarfs from Turbulent Fragmentation
The origin of brown dwarfs (BDs) is an important component of the theory of star formation, because BDs are approximately as numerous as solar mass stars. It has been suggested that BDs originate from the gravitational fragmentation of protostellar disks, a very different mechanism from the formation of hydrogen burning stars. We propose that BDs are instead formed by the process of turbulent f...
متن کاملSpectral Properties of Brown Dwarfs and Hot Jupiters
Brown dwarfs bridge the gap between the stellar and planetary mass regimes. Evolving from conditions very similar to the lowest-mass stars, the atmospheres of older brown dwarfs closely resemble those expected in close-in extrasolar giant planets, and with cooler BDs still being discovered, more and more approach the properties of gas giants at wider separation. Interpreting the spectra of BDs ...
متن کاملHot Stars with Hot Jupiters Have High Obliquities
We show that stars with transiting planets for which the stellar obliquity is large are preferentially hot (Teff > 6250 K). This could explain why small obliquities were observed in the earliest measurements, which focused on relatively cool stars drawn from Doppler surveys, as opposed to hotter stars that emerged later from transit surveys. The observed trend could be due to differences in pla...
متن کاملModeling Brown Dwarfs , L Dwarfs , and T Dwarfs
In this contribution, I touch on a subset of our recent efforts in spectral and opacity modeling aimed at improving our understanding of brown dwarfs, L dwarfs, and T dwarfs. I discuss theoretical calculations of the alkali line profiles, newly generated CrH opacities, new evidence for refractory rainout in T dwarfs from optical spectral measurements, and the distinction between brown dwarfs an...
متن کاملObservations of Brown Dwarfs
■ Abstract The brown dwarfs occupy the gap between the least massive star and the most massive planet. They begin as dimly stellar in appearance and experience fusion (of at least deuterium) in their interiors. But they are never able to stabilize their luminosity or temperature and grow ever fainter and cooler with time. For that reason, they can be viewed as a constituent of baryonic “dark ma...
