Exoplanets in Binaries ~80 planets in binaries (Desidera & Barbieri, 2007)
Exoplanets in Binaries Gliese 86 HD 41004A γ Cephei (Raghavan et al., 2006)
Exoplanets in Binaries ~23% of detected extrasolar planets in multiple systems But... ~2-3% (4-5 systems) in close binaries with ab<30AU (Raghavan et al., 2006, Desidera&Barbieri, 2007)
Statistical analysis Are planets-in-binaries different? Desidera&Barbieri, 2007 long period planets short period planets more massive planets on short-period orbits around ”close-in”(<75AU) binaries Duchene (2010)
(Holman&Wiegert, 1999) Long-term stability analysis (David et al., 2003) (Fatuzzo et al., 2006)
Stability regions: a few examples M1/M2=0.56 ab= 18AU eb=0.40 aP= 0.11AU eP=0.05 Gl 86 M1/M2=0.35 ab= 21AU eb=0.42 M1/M2=0.25 ab= 19AU eb=0.41 aP= 2.6AU eP=0.48 aP= 2AU eP=0.12 Cephei HD196885
Statistical distribution of binary systems a0 ~30 AU ~50% binaries wide enough for stable Earths on S-type orbits ~10% close enough for stable Earths on P-type orbits (Duquennoy&Mayor, 1991)
1-protoplanetary disc formation √ 2-Grain condensation 3-formation of planetesimals x 4-Planetesimal accretion √ 5-Embryo accretion √ 6-Later evolution, resonances, migration √ The « standard » model of planetary formation How could it be affected by binarity? • Step by Step scenario:
Grain condensation (Nelson, 2000)
Protoplanetary discs in binaries: theory tidal truncation of circumprimary & circumbinary discs Jang Condell et al. (2008) • Is there enough mass left to form planet(s)? • Lifetime of a truncated disc?
(Jensen et al., 1996) (Andrews & Williams, 2005) model fit with Rdisc<0.4ab model fit with Rdisc<0.2ab but high fdust compact disc might be optically thick => Mdust fdust Protoplanetary discs in binaries: Observations Depletion of mm-flux for binaries with 1<a<50AU
Protoplanetary discs in binaries (Cieza et al., 2009) 10AU threshold for inner disc presence reduced disc frequency or reduced disc lifetime?
Last stages of planet formation: embryos to planets (Barbieri et al. 2002, Quintana et al., 2002, 2007, Thebault et al. 2004, Haghighipour& Raymond 2007, Guedes et al., 2008,...) Possible in almost the whole dynamically stable region it takes a lot to prevent large embryos from accreting (Guedes et al., 2008)
very last stages of planet formation: planetary core migration “under the condition that protoplanetarycores can form …, it is possible to evolve and grow a core to form a planet with a final configuration similar to what is observed” (Kley & Nelson, 2008)
3 possible regimes : • dV < Vesc=> runaway accretion • Vesc< dV < Verosion=> accretion (slowed down) • Verosion < dV=> erosion (no-accretion) planetesimal accretion: Crucial parameter: impact velocity distribution It doesn’t take much to stop planetesimal accretion • Vesc(1km) ~ 1-2m/s • Vero(1km on 1km) ~ 10-20m/s
(e,a) evolution: purely gravitational case secular oscillations with phased orbits V (e2 + i2)1/2 VKep no <dV> increase untill orbit crossing occurs
M2=0.5M1 e2=0.3 a2=20AU (Thebault et al., 2006))
(e,a) evolution: withgas 1km<R<10km tfinal=5x104yrs differential orbital phasing according to size
dV increase typical gas drag run (Thebault et al., 2006) 5km planetesimals 1km planetesimals Differential orbital alignement between objects of different sizes
<dV(R1,R2)> distribution (Thebault et al., 2008) high <dV> as soon as R1≠R2 at 1AU from α Cen A the primary and at t=104yrs
Critical fragmentation Energy (Q*) conflicting estimates Benz&Asphaug, 1999
Accretion/Erosion behaviour (Thebault et al., 2008) Vero2<dV erosion Vero1<dV<Vero2 unsure Vesc<dV<Vero1 perturbed accretion Vesc<dV<Vero1 ”normal” accretion at 1AU from the primary and at t=104yrs
a Centauri B erosion perturbed accretion unsure ”normal” accretion ”nominal case”
simplifications • Staticaxisymmetric gas disc • Initial eplanetesimals=0 • tfinal=104yrs • i = 0 coplanarity • no treatment of collision outcomes
“big” (10-50km) planetesimals population at 1AU from the primary and at t=104yrs
large initial planetesimals? • how realistic is a large « initial » planetesimals population? depends on planetesimal-formation scenario -> maybe possible if quick formation by instabilities but how do grav.inst. proceed in the dynamically perturbed environment of a binary? ->more difficult if progressive sticking always have to pass through a km-sized phase • in any case, it cannot be « normal » (runaway) accretion -> « type II » runaway? (Kortenkamp, 2001)
outward migration after the formation of embryos Payne, Wyatt &Thébault (2009)
different initial binary configuration? • most stars are born in clusters early encounters and binary compaction/exchanges are possible: Initial and final (e,a) for binaries in a typical cluster (Malmberg et al., 2007)
different initial orbit for the binary? Thebault et al., 2009
a slightly inclined binary might help Xie & Zhou, 2009
a slightly inclined binary might help….but Xie & Zhou, 2009
accretion in inclined binaries inclinations 1<iB < 10o helps segregating planetesimal orbits according to sizes less frequent high-v R1≠R2 impacts global collision outcome balance more favourable to accretion BUT... low collision rates => slow accretion timescale issue
evolving gas disc ”superbee” wave damping ”minmod” wave damping coupled hydro/N-body simulations Paardekooper, Thebault & Mellema, 2008 <dV> always higher than in the axisymmetric gas disc case!
coupled hydro/N-body simulations role of the disc’s gravity Kley & Nelson (2007) high e-oscillations induced by gravitational interactions with the eccentric gas disc
the next big thing: realistic treatment of collisions Paardekooper & Leinhardt, 2010
Detection of debris discs in binaries Trilling et al. (2007)
debris discs in binaries (Thebault et al., 2010) a companion star cannot truncate a collisionally active debris disc
Conclusions • Gas drag works against planetesimal accretion • In coplanar systems, in-situ planet formation is difficult in the HZ of binaries with ~20AU separation • Outward migration of embryos by a/a ~ 0.25 is possible • Moderate 1<iB<10o helps, but slows down the accretion • ~50% (?) chance that a 20AU binary was initially wider • Fragment production and sweeping might help • Do planets
