Symplectic Integrator Algorithms for Modeling Planetary Accretion in Binary Star Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive and test two new symplectic integrator algorithms, suitable for studying planetary accretion in binary star systems. The algorithms incorporate the hierarchical nature of stable planetary orbits in binary star systems. In one case, planets orbit a single star, perturbed by a distant companion; in the second case, planets orbit both binary members. Each algorithm integrates close encounters between planets symplectically using a hybrid symplectic scheme.

Terrestrial Planet Formation in Binary Star Systems
More than half of all main sequence stars, and an even larger fraction of pre-main sequence stars, reside in binary/multiple star systems [1, 2]. Numerical simulations of the collapse of molecular cloud cores to form binary stars suggest that disks form within binary star systems [3]. The presence of disk material has been indirectly observed around one or both components of some young binary s...
متن کاملWind Accretion by a Binary Stellar System and Disk Formation
I calculate the specific angular momentum of mass accreted by a binary system embedded in the dense wind of a mass losing asymptotic giant branch star. The accretion flow is of the Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton type. For most of the relevant parameters space the flow is basically an isothermal high Mach number accretion flow. I find that when the orbital plane of the accreting binary system and the orb...
متن کاملFormation of protoplanets from massive planetesimals in binary systems
More than half of stars reside in binary or multiple star systems and many planets have been found in binary systems. From theoretical point of view, however, whether or not the planetary formation proceeds in a binary system is a very complex problem, because secular perturbation from the companion star can easily stir up the eccentricity of the planetesimals and cause high-velocity, destructi...
متن کاملThe Growth & Migration of Jovian Planets in Evolving Protostellar Disks with Dead Zones
The growth of Jovian mass planets during migration in their protoplanetary disks is one of the most important problems that needs to be solved in light of observations of the small orbital radii of exosolar planets. Studies of the migration of planets in standard gas disk models routinely show that the migration speeds are too high to form Jovian planets, and that such migrating planetary cores...
متن کاملNew methods for large dynamical range problems in planetary formation
Modern N-body techniques for planetary dynamics are generally based on symplectic algorithms specially adapted to the Kepler problem. These methods have proven very useful in studying planet formation, but typically require the timestep for all objects to be set to a small fraction of the orbital period of the innermost body. This computational expense can be prohibitive for even moderate parti...
