1
Jean-Pierre needs to be brought up to date on what’s really going on in astronomy these days!
2
Extrasolar Planets Caroline Terquem Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris Université Paris 6
3
Detection of extrasolar planets Transits (1999): 27 Direct imaging (2004): 4 Gravitational lensing (2006): 4 Radial velocity (Doppler) (1995): 241
4
1995: First extrasolar planet around a solar like star inner solar system 51 Pegasi
5
249 planets 25 multiple systems (October 11, 2007) http://exoplanet.eu/
6
Masses of extrasolar planets
7
mass vs semi-major axis 0.01 0.1 1 10 Planet mass (Jupiter mass) 0.010.1110 Semi-major axis (UA)
8
eccentricity vs mass Eccentricity 0.010.1110 Mass (Jupiter mass) 100
9
Giant planet formation Accretion of a core Capture of a gaseous envelope Critical core mass
10
(L. Cook) (G. Bryden) Hot Jupiter and Neptunes: in situ formation: too hot not enough material Resonant planets: capture Planet migration
11
( Goldreich & Tremaine ‘79) Tidal torques
12
Type I migration ( Goldreich & Tremaine, Ward)
13
Type I migration
14
Type II migration ( Goldreich & Tremaine, Papaloizou & Lin)
15
Type II migration
16
Disk-planet interaction Geoff Bryden
17
(Bate et al. ’03) 2D 3D Migration rate
18
Planets around pulsars 3 planets resonance (3:2), with e ≈ 0 → formation in a disk
19
Planets around pulsars Can a planet survive the supernova explosion? Red giant phase: the planet may be engulfed by the star A. Wolszczan & D. Frail, 1992 Supernova explosion: Mass loss: if more than half the stellar mass is lost, the planet escapes Shock wave: if E kinetic » E binding, the planet is destroyed E kinetic = E R p 2 /(4 D 2 ) with E=10 51 ergs E binding = -GM p 2 /R p = -10 -2 E c → ???
20
Conclusions Come back in a few years. (Maybe there will be some for Jean-Pierre’s 70th birthday.)
