Detached Object

|
Detached Objects (deutsch „Losgelöste Objekte“) sind eine Klasse von Asteroiden im äußeren Sonnensystem und gehören zu den Transneptunischen Objekten. Ihr Perihel (sonnennächster Punkt) ist von Neptun, dem äußersten Planeten, und den anderen bekannten Planeten so weit entfernt, dass sie von ihnen nur mäßig beeinflusst werden. Daher erscheinen sie vom Rest des Sonnensystems „losgelöst“, mit Ausnahme der Anziehungskraft der Sonne.[1][2]
Auf diese Weise unterscheiden sich Detached Objects erheblich von den meisten anderen bekannten Transneputinischen Objekten, die eine lose definierte Gruppe von Asteroiden bilden, die durch Gravitationsbegegnungen mit den Gasplaneten, vorwiegend Neptun, in unterschiedlichem Maße auf ihrer Umlaufbahn gestört werden. Detached Objects haben größere Perihelien als andere Transneptunische Objekte, einschließlich der Objekte in Bahnresonanz mit Neptun (z.B. (134340) Pluto), der klassischen Objekte des Kuipergürtels in nicht resonanten Bahnen wie (136472) Makemake sowie der Scattered Disk Objects wie (136199) Eris.
Detached Objects werden in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur auch als erweiterte Scattered Disk Object (E-SDO),[3] Distant Detached Objects[4] oder Scattered–Extended (etwa in der Klassifikation der Deep Ecliptic Survey) bezeichnet.[5] Dies spiegelt die dynamische Unetscheiden wider, die zwischen den Orbitalparametern der Scattered Disk Objects und der Detached Objects besteht.
Mindestens neun Objekte wurden sicher als Detached Objects identifiziert,[6] von denen der größte, am weitesten entfernte und bekannteste (90377) Sedna, ein Zwergplanetenkandidat, ist. Astronomische Objekte mit einem Perihel von über 50 Astronomischen Einheiten werden als Sednoide bezeichnet. Zusätzlich zu (90377) Sedna sind zwei weitere Sednoide bekannt: 2012 VP113 und (541132) Leleākūhonua.
Umlaufbahnen
Detached Objects weisen Perihele (sonnennächster Punkt) auf, die größer sind als das Aphel (sonnenentferntester Punkt) Neptuns (des äußersten Planeten). Ihre Bahnen sind oft stark exzentrische mit Großen Halbachsen von bis zu einigen hundert Astronomischen Einheiten (eine Astronomische Einheit ist die durchschnittliche Entfernung der Erde zur Sonne). Ihre Umlaufbahnen können nicht durch Bahnstörungen der Gasplaneten erzeugt worden sein, nicht einmal durch den von ihnen aus nächsten Planeten, Neptun. Es werden eine Reihe von Möglichkeiten in Betracht gezogen, darunter die Begegnung mit einem nahe vorbeifliegenden Stern[7], einem Planeten im Kuipergürtel (Planet Neun)[4], möglicherweise Neptun, wenn er früher eine viel exzentrischere Umlaufbahn hatte, von der aus er Objekte in ihre aktuelle Umlaufbahn gezogen haben könnte)[8][9][10][11][12] Eine weitere Entstehungsmöglichkeit ist, dass früher vorhandene Planeten, die einen gravitativen Einfluss auf Detached Objects hatten, später zu Einzelgänger-Planeten wurden.[13][14][15]
Die Theorie der Existenz von Planet Neun legt nahe, dass die Umlaufbahnen mehrerer Detached Objects durch den Gravitationseinfluss eines großen, nicht bekannten Planeten zwischen 200 und 1200 Astronomischen Einheiten und 1200 und/oder den Einfluss von Neptun erklärt werden können.[16]
Classification
Detached objects are one of five distinct dynamical classes of TNO; the other four classes are classical Kuiper-belt objects, resonant objects, scattered-disc objects (SDO), and sednoids. Detached objects generally have a perihelion distance greater than 40 AU, deterring strong interactions with Neptune, which has an approximately circular orbit about 30 AU from the Sun. However, there are no clear boundaries between the scattered and detached regions, since both can coexist as TNOs in an intermediate region with perihelion distance between 37 and 40 AU.[6] One such intermediate body with a well determined orbit is (120132) 2003 FY128.
The discovery of 90377 Sedna in 2003, together with a few other objects discovered around that time such as (148209) 2000 CR105 and 2004 XR190, has motivated discussion of a category of distant objects that may also be inner Oort cloud objects or (more likely) transitional objects between the scattered disc and the inner Oort cloud.[2]
Although Sedna is officially considered a scattered-disc object by the MPC, its discoverer Michael E. Brown has suggested that because its perihelion distance of 76 AU is too distant to be affected by the gravitational attraction of the outer planets it should be considered an inner-Oort-cloud object rather than a member of the scattered disc.[17] This classification of Sedna as a detached object is accepted in recent publications.[18]
This line of thinking suggests that the lack of a significant gravitational interaction with the outer planets creates an extended–outer group starting somewhere between Sedna (perihelion 76 AU) and more conventional SDOs like Vorlage:Mpl- (perihelion 35 AU), which is listed as a scattered–near object by the Deep Ecliptic Survey.[19]
Influence of Neptune
One of the problems with defining this extended category is that weak resonances may exist and would be difficult to prove due to chaotic planetary perturbations and the current lack of knowledge of the orbits of these distant objects. They have orbital periods of more than 300 years and most have only been observed over a short observation arc of a couple years. Due to their great distance and slow movement against background stars, it may be decades before most of these distant orbits are determined well enough to confidently confirm or rule out a resonance. Further improvement in the orbit and potential resonance of these objects will help to understand the migration of the giant planets and the formation of the Solar System. For example, simulations by Emel’yanenko and Kiseleva in 2007 show that many distant objects could be in resonance with Neptune. They show a 10% likelihood that 2000 CR105 is in a 20:1 resonance, a 38% likelihood that 2003 QK91 is in a 10:3 resonance, and an 84% likelihood that (82075) 2000 YW134 is in an 8:3 resonance.[20] The likely dwarf planet (145480) 2005 TB190 appears to have less than a 1% likelihood of being in a 4:1 resonance.[20]
Influence of hypothetical planet(s) beyond Neptune
Mike Brown—who made the Planet Nine hypothesis—makes an observation that "all of the known distant objects which are pulled even a little bit away from the Kuiper seem to be clustered under the influence of this hypothetical planet (specifically, objects with semimajor axis > 100 AU and perihelion > 42 AU)."[21] Carlos de la Fuente Marcos and Ralph de la Fuente Marcos have calculated that some of the statistically significant commensurabilities are compatible with the Planet Nine hypothesis; in particular, a number of objectsVorlage:Efn which are called Extreme trans Neptunian objects (ETNOs).[22] may be trapped in the 5:3 and 3:1 mean-motion resonances with a putative Planet Nine with a semimajor axis ∼700 AU.[23]
Possible detached objects
This is a list of known objects by decreasing perihelion, that could not be easily scattered by Neptune's current orbit and therefore are likely to be detached objects, but that lie inside the perihelion gap of ≈50–75 AU that defines the sednoids:[24][25][26][27][28][29]
Objects listed below have a perihelion of more than 40 AU, and a semimajor axis of more than 47.7 AU (the 1:2 resonance with Neptune, and the approximate outer limit of the Kuiper Belt) [30]
