Hot Jupiter formation in dense clusters: secular chaos in multi-planetary systems
arXiv:2109.13248 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stab3321
Abstract
Exoplanetary observations reveal that the occurrence rate of hot Jupiters is correlated with star clustering. In star clusters, interactions between planetary systems and close fly-by stars can significantly change the architecture of primordially coplanar, circular planetary systems. Flybys in dense clusters have a significant impact on hot Jupiter formation via activation of high eccentricity excitation mechanisms such as the Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) effect and planet-planet scattering. Previous studies have shown that if there are two giant planets in the planetary system, close flybys can efficiently activate the ZLK mechanism, thus triggering high eccentricity tidal migration and ultimately form hot Jupiters in star clusters. Here we extend our previous study with a multi-planet (triple) system. We perform high precision, high-accuracy few-body simulations of stellar flybys and subsequent planetary migration within the perturbed planetary systems using the code {\tt SpaceHub}. Our simulations demonstrate that a single close flyby on a multi-planet system in a cluster can activate secular chaos and ultimately lead to hot Jupiter formation via high eccentricity migration. We find that the hot Jupiter formation rate per system increases with both the size of the planetary system as well as with the mass of the outer planet, and we quantify the relative formation fractions for a range of parameters. Hot Jupiters formed via secular chaos are expected to be accompanied by massive companions with very long periods. Our study further shows that this flyby-induced secular chaos is preferred in low-density clusters where multi-planet systems are more likely to survive, and that it contributes a significant fraction of the hot Jupiter formation in star clusters compared to the flyby-induced ZLK mechanism.
