The aim is to examine how the formation scenarios differ in their predictions for the multiplicity of the Proxima system, the water/volatile content of Proxima b and its orbital eccentricity, so that these can be tested by future observations. A scenario of in situ formation via giant impacts from a locally enhanced disc of planetary embryos/planetesimals predicts that Proxima b will be in a multiplanet system with a measurably finite eccentricity. Assuming that the local solid enhancement needed to form a Proxima b analogue arises because of the inwards drift of solids in the form of small planetesimals/boulders, this scenario also results in Proxima b analogues being only moderately endowed with water/volatiles. A scenario in which multiple embryos form, migrate and mutually collide within a gas disc results in Proxima b being a member of a multiple system, possibly displaying mean-motion resonances, but where the constituent members are Ocean planets due to accretion occurring mainly outside of the snowline. A scenario in which a single accreting embryo forms outside the snowline, and migrates inwards while accreting planetesimals/pebbles results in Proxima b being an isolated Ocean planet on a circular orbit. A scenario in which Proxima b formed via pebble accretion interior to the snowline produces a dry planet on a circular orbit. Future observations that characterize the physical and orbital properties of Proxima b, and any additional planets in the system, will provide valuable insights into the formation history of this neighbouring planetary system."],["dc.description.sponsorship","QMULResearch-IT; EPSRC grant [EP/K000128/1]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/mnras/stx169"],["dc.identifier.isi","000398418900070"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/42719"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Oxford Univ Press"],["dc.relation.issn","1365-2966"],["dc.relation.issn","0035-8711"],["dc.title","Exploring plausible formation scenarios for the planet candidate orbiting Proxima Centauri"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI WOS2021Journal Article [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","4788"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","4"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.lastpage","4803"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","507"],["dc.contributor.author","Göttgens, Fabian"],["dc.contributor.author","Kamann, Sebastian"],["dc.contributor.author","Baumgardt, Holger"],["dc.contributor.author","Dreizler, Stefan"],["dc.contributor.author","Giesers, Benjamin"],["dc.contributor.author","Husser, Tim-Oliver"],["dc.contributor.author","den Brok, Mark"],["dc.contributor.author","Fétick, Romain"],["dc.contributor.author","Krajnovic, Davor"],["dc.contributor.author","Weilbacher, Peter M"],["dc.date.accessioned","2021-12-01T09:23:51Z"],["dc.date.available","2021-12-01T09:23:51Z"],["dc.date.issued","2021"],["dc.description.abstract","ABSTRACT We use spectra observed with the integral-field spectrograph Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) to reveal the central kinematics of the Galactic globular cluster Messier 80 (M80, NGC 6093).

Our sample consists of 3553 stars with 54883 spectra in total comprising 3200 main-sequence stars up to 4 magnitudes below the turn-off. Each star in our sample has between 3 and 63 (with a median of 14) reliable radial velocity (RV) measurements within five years of observations. We introduce a statistical method to determine the probability of a star showing RV variations based on the whole inhomogeneous RV sample. Using HST photometry and an advanced dynamical MOCCA simulation of this specific GC we overcome observational biases that previous spectroscopic studies had to deal with. This allows us to infer a binary frequency in the MUSE FoV and enables us to deduce the underlying true binary frequency of (6.75+-0.72) % in NGC 3201. The comparison of the MUSE observations with the MOCCA simulation suggests a significant fraction of primordial binaries. We can also confirm a radial increase of the binary fraction towards the GC centre due to mass segregation. We discovered that in our sample at least (57.5+-7.9) % of blue straggler stars (BSS) are in a binary system. For the first time in a study of GCs, we were able to fit Keplerian orbits to a significant sample of 95 binaries. We present the binary system properties of eleven BSS and show evidence that two BSS formation scenarios, the mass transfer in binary (or triple) star systems and the coalescence due to binary-binary interactions, are present in our data. We also describe the binary and spectroscopic properties of four sub-subgiant (or red straggler) stars. Furthermore, we discovered two new black hole (BH) candidates with minimum masses (Msini) of (7.68+-0.50) M_sun, (4.4+-2.8) M_sun, and refine the minimum mass estimate on the already published BH to (4.53+-0.21) M_sun.
