新世界:将类地行星评估为天体物理学对象

New Worlds: Evaluating terrestrial planets as astrophysical objects

Caleb A. Scharf, David S. Spiegel, Mark Chandler, Linda Sohl, Anthony Del Genio, Michael Way, Nancy Kiang

摘要:

类地系外行星即将加入天文学可访问对象的行列。解释它们的可观测特征,并为仪器设计和使用提供信息,将取决于在广泛的配置和气候强迫下成功模拟这些行星的能力。一个分层的方法,解决基本行为以及更复杂,具体的情况是至关重要的,这方面的努力,并在这里提出。扩展以地球为中心的知识和持续的跨学科工作将是至关重要的,但最终必须鼓励对类地系外行星的天体物理学研究发展成为自己的领域。

英文摘要:

Terrestrial exoplanets are on the verge of joining the ranks of astronomically accessible objects. Interpreting their observable characteristics, and informing decisions on instrument design and use, will hinge on the ability to model these planets successfully across a vast range of configurations and climate forcings. A hierarchical approach that addresses fundamental behaviors as well as more complex, specific, situations is crucial to this endeavor and is presented here. Incorporating Earth-centric knowledge, and continued cross-disciplinary work will be critical, but ultimately the astrophysical study of terrestrial exoplanets must be encouraged to develop as its own field.
