Modeling dust condensation protoplanetary disks

项目摘要

The first step in planet formation is when dust condenses from gasses in a protoplanetary disk. Where and how the dust condenses will determine the composition of the planets. The inner planets of our Solar System formed at high temperature. As a result, they are depleted in volatile elements compared to the Sun. Previous studies of dust condensation have been limited by a series of idealizations that were made to make the computation easier. These idealizations included a single condensation temperature for each element or neglecting the evolution of the gas disk. They might have limited the number of elements in the model or ignored the thermal history of the system. The proposed work is to build higher-fidelity models that incorporate many more elements than previous models, and which incorporate the physics and development of the protoplanetary disk. The results of this work will be compared to elemental abundances in our Solar System to better understand the conditions in which our Solar System formed and will be used to predict variations in planetary composition in exoplanetary systems. The team will help to train future astronomers (and increase the STEM workforce) by including postdoctoral scholars and graduate students. They will also expand on their outreach efforts, including neighborhood star parties in Las Vegas, and a popular "Astronomy on Tap" program.The team will combine two existing codes to undertake new modeling of dust condensation in protoplanetary disks. The first is a protoplanetary disk evolution code written by one of the postdocs who will work on the project. The other is a thermodynamic code called GRAINS which models the condensation sequence of dust particles under given thermodynamic conditions. The resulting merged code will be called the Dynamical Disk Dust Condensation (DDDC) code. One of the innovations in the code will be the incorporation of gas pressure as a function of position in the disk and time. This will have the effect of altering the condensation temperature for a given element as a function of time and position. The resulting code will be used to model the formation of our own Solar System by using solar mean elemental abundances as input parameters. The team will then look at changes in observables as they change various parameters, including mass of the disk, angular velocity, temperature in the core, as well as thermal history and bulk composition. The results will be compared to Solar System values to constrain the early thermal history of our Solar System. They will also look at different disk compositions to examine what variations might exist in exoplanetary systems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

行星形成的第一步是原行星盘中气体中的尘埃凝结。尘埃凝结的地点和方式将决定行星的组成。我们太阳系的内行星是在高温下形成的。因此，与太阳相比，它们的挥发性元素较少。先前对灰尘凝结的研究受到一系列为了使计算更容易而进行的理想化的限制。这些理想化包括每个元素的单一冷凝温度或忽略气盘的演变。他们可能限制了模型中的元素数量或忽略了系统的热历史。拟议的工作是建立更高保真度的模型，该模型比以前的模型包含更多的元素，并且包含原行星盘的物理和发展。这项工作的结果将与太阳系中的元素丰度进行比较，以更好地了解太阳系形成的条件，并将用于预测系外行星系统中行星组成的变化。该团队将通过包括博士后学者和研究生来帮助培训未来的天文学家（并增加 STEM 劳动力）。他们还将扩大他们的外展工作，包括拉斯维加斯的邻里明星聚会，以及流行的“Astronomy on Tap”计划。该团队将结合两个现有的代码，对原行星盘中的尘埃凝结进行新的建模。第一个是由一位参与该项目的博士后编写的原行星盘演化代码。另一个是称为 GRAINS 的热力学代码，它模拟给定热力学条件下灰尘颗粒的凝结序列。生成的合并代码将称为动态磁盘灰尘凝结 (DDDC) 代码。代码中的创新之一是将气体压力纳入磁盘中位置和时间的函数。这将具有改变给定元件的冷凝温度作为时间和位置的函数的效果。生成的代码将用于通过使用太阳平均元素丰度作为输入参数来模拟我们自己的太阳系的形成。然后，该团队将研究可观测值随着各种参数变化而发生的变化，包括圆盘质量、角速度、核心温度以及热历史和整体成分。结果将与太阳系值进行比较，以限制太阳系的早期热历史。他们还将研究不同的磁盘组成，以研究系外行星系统中可能存在的变化。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
