英文摘要 | Abstract We present a statistical study of the planet–metallicity (P–M) correlation by comparing the 744 stars with candidate planets (SWPs) in the Kepler field that have been observed with LAMOST, and a sample of distance-independent, fake “twin” stars in the Kepler field with no planet reported (CKSNPs) yet. With well-defined and carefully selected large samples, we find for the first time a turnoff P–M correlation of Δ[Fe/H]SWPs–SNPs, which on average increases from ~0.00 ± 0.03 dex to 0.06 ± 0.03 dex, and to 0.12 ± 0.03 for stars with Earth-, Neptune-, and Jupiter-sized planets successively, and then declines to ~?0.01 ± 0.03 dex for more massive planets or brown dwarfs. Moreover, the percentage of those systems with positive Δ[Fe/H] has the same turnoff pattern. We also find that FG-type stars follow this general trend, but K-type stars are different. Moderate metal enhancement (~0.1–0.2 dex) for K-type stars with planets of radii between 2 and 4 R⊕, compared to CKSNPs is observed, which indicates much higher metallicities are required for Super-Earths and Neptune-sized planets to form around K-type stars. We point out that the P–M correlation is actually metallicity-dependent, i.e., the correlation is positive at solar and supersolar metallicities, and negative at subsolar metallicities. No steady increase of Δ[Fe/H] against planet sizes is observed for rocky planets, excluding the pollution scenario as a major mechanism for the P–M correlation. All these clues suggest that giant planets probably form differently from rocky planets or more massive planets/brown dwarfs, and the core accretion scenario is highly favored, and high metallicity is a prerequisite for massive planets to form. |
