Relation to Prof. Miyama
• Based on “Astronomer’s family tree in Japan”
– Prof. Miyama was “brother” of Prof. Katsuhiko Sato
• My lab at Univ. of Tokyo: UTAP
– Prof. Yasushi Suto was my supervisor at School of Science
– Prof. Katsuhiko Sato was my supervisor at School of Education
• So Prof. Miyama is my “uncle” researcher

• Summary
Orbits of the Solar System Planets
Orbits of the Solar System Planets
All Solar System planets orbit in the same direction
small orbital eccentricities
At a maximum (Mercury) e = 0.2
small orbital inclinations
The spin axis of the Sun and the orbital axes of
planets are aligned within 7 degrees
In almost the same orbital plane (ecliptic plane)
The configuration is explained by core-accretion models
in a proto-planetary disk
Orbits of Jovian Satellites
Orbits of Solar System Asteroids and Satellites
Asteroids
most of asteroids orbits in the ecliptic plane
significant portion of asteroids have tilted orbits
dozens of retrograde asteroids have been discovered
Satellites
orbital axes of satellites are mostly aligned with the
spin axis of host planets
dozens of satellites have tilted orbits or even
retrograde orbits (e.g., Triton around Neptune)
Tilted or retrograde orbits are common for those bodies
and are explained by scattering with other bodies etc
Motivation to study exoplanetary orbits
Orbits of the Solar System bodies reflect
the formation history of the Solar System
How about extrasolar planets?
Planetary orbits would provide us information
about formation histories of exoplanetary systems!

Semi-Major Axis Distribution of Exoplanets

Jupiter
Need planetary migration mechanisms!
Standard Migration Models
Type I and II migration mechanisms
consider gravitational interaction between
proto-planets and proto-planetary disk
• Type I: less than 10 Earth mass proto-planets
• Type II: more massive case (Jovian planets)
well explain the semi-major axis distribution
e.g., a series of Ida & Lin papers
predict small eccentricities and small inclination for
migrated planets
Eccentricity Distribution
Eccentric
Planets
Jupiter
Cannot be explained by Type I & II migration model
Migration Models for Eccentric Planets
consider gravitational interaction between
planet-planet (planet-planet scattering models)
planet-binary companion (Kozai migration)
captured planets
ejected planet
Kozai mechanism
caused by perturbation from a distant companion
and angular momentum conservation
orbit 1: low eccentricity and high inclination
orbit 2: high eccentricity and low inclination
star
binary orbital plane
companion
originally for planet-satellite system (Kozai 1962)
Migration Models for Eccentric Planets
consider gravitational interaction between
planet-planet (planet-planet scattering models)
planet-binary companion (Kozai migration)
may be able to explain the whole orbital distribution
e.g., Nagasawa+ 2008, Fabrycky & Tremaine 2007
predict a variety of eccentricities
and also predict misalignments between stellar-spin and
planetary-orbital axes
Examples of Obliquity Prediction
Tilted and even retrograde planets are predicted.
Morton & Johnson (2010)
How can we test these models by observations?

planetary systems
• Summary
Planetary transits
transit in the Solar System
transit in exoplanetary systems
(we cannot spatially resolve)
2006/11/9
transit of Mercury
observed with Hinode
slightly dimming
If a planetary orbit passes in front of its host star by chance,
we can observe exoplanetary transits as periodical dimming.
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect
When a transiting planet hides stellar rotation,
star
planet
planet
the planet hides the approaching side
the planet hides the receding side
→ the star appears to be receding
→ the star appears to be approaching
radial velocity of the host star would have
an apparent anomaly during transits.
What can we learn from RM effect?
The shape of RM effect
depends on the trajectory of a transiting planet.
well aligned
misaligned
Radial velocity during transits = the Keplerian motion and the RM effect

Orbit
Tilted planets are not rare (1/3 hot Jupiters are tilted)
p-p scattering or Kozai mechanism occur in exoplanetary systems
Remaining Problems
Correlation with properties of planet and host star
Need to observe more targets for statistics.
One cannot distinguish between p-p scattering and Kozai
migration for each system
Need to search for counterparts of migration processes
Correlation between λ and Stellar Temperature

111 days
Winn et al. (2010)
Stellar Convective Layer
Scattering or Kozai
Which model is a dominant migration mechanism?
Morton & Johnson (2010)
The number of samples is still insufficient to answer statistically.
A Solution for the Problem
One cannot distinguish between p-p scattering and Kozai
migration for each planetary system
To specify a planetary migration mechanism for each system,
we need to search for counterparts of migration processes
long term radial velocity measurements (< 10AU)
direct imaging (> 10-100 AU)
Outline
• Brief overview of orbits of Solar System bodies
• Orbits of exoplanets and their migration models
• The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and observations
• High-contrast direct imaging for tilted or eccentric
planetary systems
• Summary
Motivation for high-contrast direct imaging
The results of the RM effect encourage direct imaging because
a significant part of planetary systems may have wide
separation massive bodies (e.g., scattered massive planets or
brown dwarfs, or binary companions)
direct imaging for tilted or eccentric planetary systems may
allow us to specify a migration mechanism for each planetary
system

Characterization of binary candidates
projected separation: ~1000 AU
Based on stellar SED (Table 3) in Kraus and Hillenbrand (2007).
Assuming that the candidates are main sequence stars
at the same distance as HAT-P-7.
Can these candidates cause Kozai migration?
The perturbation of a binary must be the strongest in the
system to cause the Kozai migration (Innanen et al. 1997)
If perturbation of another body is stronger
Kozai migraion refuted
If such an additional body does not exist
both Kozai and p-p scattering still survive
An additional body ‘HAT-P-7c’
Winn et al. (2009c)
2007 and 2009 Keck data
2008 and 2010 Subaru data
(unpublished)
HJD - 2454000
Long-term RV trend ~20 m/s/yr is ongoing from 2007 to 2010
constraint on the mass and semi-major axis of ‘c’
(Winn et al. 2009c)
Result for the HAT-P-7 case
We detected two binary candidates, but the Kozai migration
was excluded because perturbation by the additional body is
stronger than that by companion candidates
As a result, we conclude that p-p scattering is the most likely
migration mechanism for this system
SEEDS-RV Sub-category
Members: N. Narita, Y. Takahashi, B. Sato, R. Suzuki
Targets: Known planetary systems such as,
Very famous systems
long-term RV trend systems
Giant systems
Eccentric planetary systems
Transiting planetary systems (including eccentric/tilted systems)
25+ systems observed
including 10+ transiting planetary systems (1st epoch)
some follow-up targets were observed (2nd epoch)
9 Results at a Glance
First/Second Year Results
9 out of 10 systems have companion candidates
high frequency of detecting candidate companions
Caution: this is only 1 epoch -> follow-up needed
Message to transit/secondary eclipse observers
Be careful about contamination of candidate companions,
even they are not real binary companions
sometimes they may affect your results
2nd epoch observations are ongoing
Ongoing and Future Subaru Observations
There are numbers of tilted and/or eccentric transiting planets
These planetary systems are interesting targets that we may be
able to discriminate planetary migration mechanisms
No detection is still interesting to refute Kozai migration
Detections of outer massive bodies are very interesting
Stay tuned for new results

We need Subaru/IRD and TMT!
