Long-term integrations and stability of planetary orbits in our Solar system

Abstract

We present the results of very long-term numerical integrations of planetary orbital motions over 109 -yr time-spans including all nine planets. A quick inspection of our numerical data shows that the planetary motion, at least in our simple dynamical model, seems to be quite stable even over this very long time-span. A closer look at the lowest-frequency oscillations using a low-pass filter shows us the potentially diffusive character of terrestrial planetary motion, especially that of Mercury. The behaviour of the eccentricity of Mercury in our integrations is qualitatively similar to the results from Jacques Laskar's secular perturbation theory (e.g. emax~ 0.35 over ~± 4 Gyr). However, there are no apparent secular increases of eccentricity or inclination in any orbital elements of the planets, which may be revealed by still longer-term numerical integrations. We have also performed a couple of trial integrations including motions of the outer five planets over the duration of ± 5 × 1010 yr. The result indicates that the three major resonances in the Neptune–Pluto system have been maintained over the 1011-yr time-span.

1 Introduction

1.1Definition of the problem

The question of the stability of our Solar system has been debated over several hundred years, since the era of Newton. The problem has attracted many famous mathematicians over the years and has played a central role in the development of non-linear dynamics and chaos theory. However, we do not yet have a definite answer to the question of whether our Solar system is stable or not. This is partly a result of the fact that the definition of the term ‘stability’ is vague when it is used in relation to the problem of planetary motion in the Solar system. Actually it is not easy to give a clear, rigorous and physically meaningful definition of the stability of our Solar system.

Among many definitions of stability, here we adopt the Hill definition (Gladman 1993): actually this is not a definition of stability, but of instability. We define a system as becoming unstable when a close encounter occurs somewhere in the system, starting from a certain initial configuration (Chambers, Wetherill & Boss 1996; Ito & Tanikawa 1999). A system is defined as experiencing a close encounter when two bodies approach one another within an area of the larger Hill radius. Otherwise the system is defined as being stable. Henceforward we state that our planetary system is dynamically stable if no close encounter happens during the age of our Solar system, about ±5 Gyr. Incidentally, this definition may be replaced by one in which an occurrence of any orbital crossing between either of a pair of planets takes place. This is because we know from experience that an orbital crossing is very likely to lead to a close encounter in planetary and protoplanetary systems (Yoshinaga, Kokubo & Makino 1999). Of course this statement cannot be simply applied to systems with stable orbital resonances such as the Neptune–Pluto system.

1.2Previous studies and aims of this research

In addition to the vagueness of the concept of stability, the planets in our Solar system show a character typical of dynamical chaos (Sussman & Wisdom 1988, 1992). The cause of this chaotic behaviour is now partly understood as being a result of resonance overlapping (Murray & Holman 1999; Lecar, Franklin & Holman 2001). However, it would require integrating over an ensemble of planetary systems including all nine planets for a period covering several 10 Gyr to thoroughly understand the long-term evolution of planetary orbits, since chaotic dynamical systems are characterized by their strong dependence on initial conditions.

From that point of view, many of the previous long-term numerical integrations included only the outer five planets (Sussman & Wisdom 1988; Kinoshita & Nakai 1996). This is because the orbital periods of the outer planets are so much longer than those of the inner four planets that it is much easier to follow the system for a given integration period. At present, the longest numerical integrations published in journals are those of Duncan & Lissauer (1998). Although their main target was the effect of post-main-sequence solar mass loss on the stability of planetary orbits, they performed many integrations covering up to ~1011 yr of the orbital motions of the four jovian planets. The initial orbital elements and masses of planets are the same as those of our Solar system in Duncan & Lissauer's paper, but they decrease the mass of the Sun gradually in their numerical experiments. This is because they consider the effect of post-main-sequence solar mass loss in the paper. Consequently, they found that the crossing time-scale of planetary orbits, which can be a typical indicator of the instability time-scale, is quite sensitive to the rate of mass decrease of the Sun. When the mass of the Sun is close to its present value, the jovian planets remain stable over 1010 yr, or perhaps longer. Duncan & Lissauer also performed four similar experiments on the orbital motion of seven planets (Venus to Neptune), which cover a span of ~109 yr. Their experiments on the seven planets are not yet comprehensive, but it seems that the terrestrial planets also remain stable during the integration period, maintaining almost regular oscillations.

On the other hand, in his accurate semi-analytical secular perturbation theory (Laskar 1988), Laskar finds that large and irregular variations can appear in the eccentricities and inclinations of the terrestrial planets, especially of Mercury and Mars on a time-scale of several 109 yr (Laskar 1996). The results of Laskar's secular perturbation theory should be confirmed and investigated by fully numerical integrations.

In this paper we present preliminary results of six long-term numerical integrations on all nine planetary orbits, covering a span of several 109 yr, and of two other integrations covering a span of ± 5 × 1010 yr. The total elapsed time for all integrations is more than 5 yr, using several dedicated PCs and workstations. One of the fundamental conclusions of our long-term integrations is that Solar system planetary motion seems to be stable in terms of the Hill stability mentioned above, at least over a time-span of ± 4 Gyr. Actually, in our numerical integrations the system was far more stable than what is defined by the Hill stability criterion: not only did no close encounter happen during the integration period, but also all the planetary orbital elements have been confined in a narrow region both in time and frequency domain, though planetary motions are stochastic. Since the purpose of this paper is to exhibit and overview the results of our long-term numerical integrations, we show typical example figures as evidence of the very long-term stability of Solar system planetary motion. For readers who have more specific and deeper interests in our numerical results, we have prepared a webpage (access ), where we show raw orbital elements, their low-pass filtered results, variation of Delaunay elements and angular momentum deficit, and results of our simple time–frequency analysis on all of our integrations.

In Section 2 we briefly explain our dynamical model, numerical method and initial conditions used in our integrations. Section 3 is devoted to a description of the quick results of the numerical integrations. Very long-term stability of Solar system planetary motion is apparent both in planetary positions and orbital elements. A rough estimation of numerical errors is also given. Section 4 goes on to a discussion of the longest-term variation of planetary orbits using a low-pass filter and includes a discussion of angular momentum deficit. In Section 5, we present a set of numerical integrations for the outer five planets that spans ± 5 × 1010 yr. In Section 6 we also discuss the long-term stability of the planetary motion and its possible cause.

2.3 Numerical method

We utilize a second-order Wisdom–Holman symplectic map as our main integration method (Wisdom & Holman 1991; Kinoshita, Yoshida & Nakai 1991) with a special start-up procedure to reduce the truncation error of angle variables,‘warm start’(Saha & Tremaine 1992, 1994).

The stepsize for the numerical integrations is 8 d throughout all integrations of the nine planets (N±1,2,3), which is about 1/11 of the orbital period of the innermost planet (Mercury). As for the determination of stepsize, we partly follow the previous numerical integration of all nine planets in Sussman & Wisdom (1988, 7.2 d) and Saha & Tremaine (1994, 225/32 d). We rounded the decimal part of the their stepsizes to 8 to make the stepsize a multiple of 2 in order to reduce the accumulation of round-off error in the computation processes. In relation to this, Wisdom & Holman (1991) performed numerical integrations of the outer five planetary orbits using the symplectic map with a stepsize of 400 d, 1/10.83 of the orbital period of Jupiter. Their result seems to be accurate enough, which partly justifies our method of determining the stepsize. However, since the eccentricity of Jupiter (~0.05) is much smaller than that of Mercury (~0.2), we need some care when we compare these integrations simply in terms of stepsizes.

In the integration of the outer five planets (F±), we fixed the stepsize at 400 d.

We adopt Gauss' f and g functions in the symplectic map together with the third-order Halley method (Danby 1992) as a solver for Kepler equations. The number of maximum iterations we set in Halley's method is 15, but they never reached the maximum in any of our integrations.

The interval of the data output is 200 000 d (~547 yr) for the calculations of all nine planets (N±1,2,3), and about 8000 000 d (~21 903 yr) for the integration of the outer five planets (F±).

Although no output filtering was done when the numerical integrations were in process, we applied a low-pass filter to the raw orbital data after we had completed all the calculations. See Section 4.1 for more detail.

2.4 Error estimation

2.4.1 Relative errors in total energy and angular momentum

According to one of the basic properties of symplectic integrators, which conserve the physically conservative quantities well (total orbital energy and angular momentum), our long-term numerical integrations seem to have been performed with very small errors. The averaged relative errors of total energy (~10?9) and of total angular momentum (~10?11) have remained nearly constant throughout the integration period (Fig. 1). The special startup procedure, warm start, would have reduced the averaged relative error in total energy by about one order of magnitude or more.

Relative numerical error of the total angular momentum δA/A0 and the total energy δE/E0 in our numerical integrationsN± 1,2,3, where δE and δA are the absolute change of the total energy and total angular momentum, respectively, andE0andA0are their initial values. The horizontal unit is Gyr.

Note that different operating systems, different mathematical libraries, and different hardware architectures result in different numerical errors, through the variations in round-off error handling and numerical algorithms. In the upper panel of Fig. 1, we can recognize this situation in the secular numerical error in the total angular momentum, which should be rigorously preserved up to machine-ε precision.

2.4.2 Error in planetary longitudes

Since the symplectic maps preserve total energy and total angular momentum of N-body dynamical systems inherently well, the degree of their preservation may not be a good measure of the accuracy of numerical integrations, especially as a measure of the positional error of planets, i.e. the error in planetary longitudes. To estimate the numerical error in the planetary longitudes, we performed the following procedures. We compared the result of our main long-term integrations with some test integrations, which span much shorter periods but with much higher accuracy than the main integrations. For this purpose, we performed a much more accurate integration with a stepsize of 0.125 d (1/64 of the main integrations) spanning 3 × 105 yr, starting with the same initial conditions as in the N?1 integration. We consider that this test integration provides us with a ‘pseudo-true’ solution of planetary orbital evolution. Next, we compare the test integration with the main integration, N?1. For the period of 3 × 105 yr, we see a difference in mean anomalies of the Earth between the two integrations of ~0.52°(in the case of the N?1 integration). This difference can be extrapolated to the value ~8700°, about 25 rotations of Earth after 5 Gyr, since the error of longitudes increases linearly with time in the symplectic map. Similarly, the longitude error of Pluto can be estimated as ~12°. This value for Pluto is much better than the result in Kinoshita & Nakai (1996) where the difference is estimated as ~60°.

3 Numerical results – I. Glance at the raw data

In this section we briefly review the long-term stability of planetary orbital motion through some snapshots of raw numerical data. The orbital motion of planets indicates long-term stability in all of our numerical integrations: no orbital crossings nor close encounters between any pair of planets took place.

3.1 General description of the stability of planetary orbits

First, we briefly look at the general character of the long-term stability of planetary orbits. Our interest here focuses particularly on the inner four terrestrial planets for which the orbital time-scales are much shorter than those of the outer five planets. As we can see clearly from the planar orbital configurations shown in Figs 2 and 3, orbital positions of the terrestrial planets differ little between the initial and final part of each numerical integration, which spans several Gyr. The solid lines denoting the present orbits of the planets lie almost within the swarm of dots even in the final part of integrations (b) and (d). This indicates that throughout the entire integration period the almost regular variations of planetary orbital motion remain nearly the same as they are at present.

In each panel, a total of 23 684 points are plotted with an interval of about 2190 yr over 5.47 × 107 yr . Solid lines in each panel denote the present orbits of the four terrestrial planets (taken from DE245).
