2 Most stars form in clusters: In quantitative detail: What effects does the cluster environment have on solar system formation?

3 N-body Simulations of Clusters UV Radiation Fields in Clusters Disk Photoevaporation Model Scattering Encounters Outline

4 Cumulative Distribution: Fraction of stars that form in stellar aggregates with N < N as function of N Lada/Lada Porras Median point: N=300

5 Simulations of Embedded Clusters Modified NBODY2 Code (S. Aarseth) Simulate evolution from embedded stage out to ages of 10 Myr Cluster evolution depends on the following: –cluster size –initial stellar and gas profiles –gas disruption history –star formation history –primordial mass segregation –initial dynamical assumptions 100 realizations are needed to provide robust statistics for output measures

6 Virial RatioQ = |K/W| virial Q = 0.5; cold Q = 0.04 Mass Segregation: largest star at center of cluster Simulation Parameters Cluster Membership N = 100, 300, 1000 Cluster Radius Initial Stellar Density Gas Distribution Star Formation Efficiency0.33 Embedded Epoch t = 0–5 Myr Star Formation t = 0-1 Myr

10 –Photoevaporation of a circumstellar disk –Radiation from the background cluster often dominates radiation from the parent star (Johnstone et al. 1998; Adams & Myers 2001) –FUV radiation (6 eV < E < 13.6 eV) is more important in this process than EUV radiation –FUV flux of G 0 = 3000 will truncate a circumstellar disk to r d over 10 Myr, where Effects of Cluster Radiation on Forming/Young Solar Systems

11 Calculation of the Radiation Field Fundamental Assumptions –Cluster size N = N primaries (ignore binary companions) –No gas or dust attenuation of FUV radiation –Stellar FUV luminosity is only a function of mass –Meader’s models for stellar luminosity and temperature Sample IMF → L FUV (N) Sample Cluster Sizes Expected FUV Luminosity in SF Cluster →

12 FUV Flux depends on: –Cluster FUV luminosity –Location of disk within cluster Assume: –FUV point source located at center of cluster –Stellar density  ~ 1/r Photoevaporation of Circumstellar Disks G 0 = 1 corresponds to FUV flux 1.6 x 10 -3 erg s -1 cm -2 Median900 Peak1800 Mean16,500 G 0 Distribution

18 Evaporation Time vs Stellar Mass Evaporation is much more effective for disks around low-mass stars: Giant planet formation can be compromised G=3000

19 Evaporation vs Accretion Disk accretion aids and abets the disk destruction process by draining gas from the inside, while evaporation removes gas from the outside...

25 Solar System Scattering in Clusters Ejection Rate per Star (for a given mass) Integrate over IMF (normalized to cluster size) Subvirial N=300 Cluster  0 = 0.096,  = 1.7  J = 0.15 per Myr 1-2 Jupiters are ejected in 10 Myr Less than number of ejections from internal solar system scattering (Moorhead & Adams 2005)

26 Conclusions N-Body simulations of young embedded clusters –Distributions of radial positions and closest approaches –Subvirial clusters more concentrated & longer lived Clusters have modest effects on star and planet formation –FUV flux levels are low & leave disks unperturbed –Disruption of planetary systems rare, b C ~ 700-4000 AU –Planet ejection rates via scattering encounters are low --------------------------------------------------------------------- Photoevaporation model for external FUV radiation Distributions of FUV flux and luminosity Cross sections for solar system disruption [Orbit solutions, triaxial effects, spirographic approx.]

28 Time Evolution of Parameters Subvirial ClusterVirial Cluster 1003001000 In subvirial clusters, 50-60% of members remain bound at 10 Myr instead of 10-30% for virial clusters R 1/2 is about 70% smaller for subvirial clusters Stars in the subvirial clusters fall rapidly towards the center and then expand after t = 5 Myr

29 Orbits in Cluster Potentials

30 Orbits (continued) (effective semi-major axis) (angular momentum of the circular orbit) (circular orbits do not close)

31 Spirographic Orbits! (Adams & Bloch 2005) Orbital Elements

32 Allowed Parameter Space Spirographic approximation is valid over most of the plane

33 Application to LMC Orbit Spirographic approximation reproduces the orbital shape with 7 percent accuracy & conserves angular momentum with 1 percent accuracy. Compare with observational uncertainties of 10-20 percent.
