热大气层与外逸层

Thermosphere and exosphere of Hot-Jupiters

A. Lecavelier des Etangs

摘要:

在这里,我们描述的意见和由此产生的限制高层大气(热层和散逸层)的“热-大气层”。特别是,观测和热木星蒸发的理论建模进行了说明。这些观测发现,围绕HD 209458运行的行星有一个逃逸氢的扩展大气层,并显示在非常高的高度存在氧和碳。这些观测结果对这些行星大气层中的逃逸速率和机制提出了独特的限制。最近对HD 189733 b的莱曼α HST观测首次比较了两颗不同行星在不同环境下的蒸发。模型来量化逃逸率从测量的掩星深度,和能量图来描述热蒸发状态。利用这张图,可以看出很少有已知的行星可能是以前的巨行星的残余。

英文摘要:

Here we describe the observations and the resulting constraints on the upper atmosphere (thermosphere and exosphere) of the "Hot-Jupiters". In particular, observations and theoretical modeling of Hot-Jupiter evaporation are described. The observations allowed the discovery that the planet orbiting HD209458 has an extended atmosphere of escaping hydrogen and showed the presence of oxygen and carbon at very high altitude. These observations give unique constraints on the escape rate and mechanism in the atmosphere of these planets. The most recent Lyman-alpha HST observations of HD189733b allows for the first time to compare the evaporation from two different planets in different environments. Models to quantify the escape rate from the measured occultation depths, and an energy diagram to describe the evaporation state of Hot-Jupiters are presented. Using this diagram, it is shown that few already known planets could be remnants of formerly giant planets.
