| 词条 | Chthonian planet |
| 释义 |
EtymologyChthonia (from {{lang-el|Χθών}}) means "of the Earth". The term was coined by Hébrard et al., since the term chthonian generally refers to Greek deities from the infernal underground. Possible examplesTransit-timing variation measurements indicate for example that Kepler-52b, Kepler-52c and Kepler-57b have maximum-masses between 30 and 100 times the mass of Earth (although the actual masses could be much lower); with radii about 2 Earth radii, they might have densities larger than that of an iron planet of the same size. As such, exoplanets orbiting very close to their stars could be the remnant cores of evaporated gas giants or brown dwarfs. If cores are massive enough they could remain compressed for billions of years despite losing the atmospheric mass.[2][3]As there is a lack of gaseous "hot-super-Earths" between 2.2 and 3.8 Earth-radii exposed to over 650 Earth incident flux, and such lack is not supported by statistics,{{clarify|date=November 2016}} it is assumed that exoplanets below such radii exposed to such stellar fluxes could have had their envelopes stripped by photoevaporation.[4] HD 209458 b is an example of a gas giant that is in the process of having its atmosphere stripped away, though it will not become a chthonian planet for many billions of years, if ever. A similar case would be Gliese 436b, which has already lost 10% of its atmosphere.[5]COROT-7b is the first exoplanet found that might be chthonian.[6][7]Other researchers dispute this, and conclude COROT-7b was always a rocky planet and not the eroded core of a gas or ice giant,[8] due to the young age of the star system. Kepler-70b and Kepler-70c are sub-Earth planets that are thought to have been giant planets that were engulfed by the extended envelope of their star in its red giant phase vaporizing their gaseous envelope.[9]See also
