摘要:

对行星的直接成像搜索揭示了适合光谱学的宽轨道行星,它们的大气层代表了与热彗星辐照大气层的重要比较。使用AO积分场光谱的2 M1207 b,连续辐射的形状在J,H和K波段从大气中的这个年轻的,行星质量的同伴进行测量,以比较与大气和演化模型,和类似的温度在年轻的集群和领域的对象。2 M1207 b光谱具有最高的光谱分辨率(R~300-1500)和最大的波长覆盖范围,包括第一个J波段光谱。高信号噪声的数据允许一个明确的识别签名的低表面重力,并与网格的AMES-Dusty模型的比较揭示了一个最适合的有效温度Teff=1600 K与一个优选的表面重力log g=4.5。J波段的通量相对于几乎所有的L型天体都是低的,H波段吸收特征的详细形状与模型预测的有所不同。2 M1207 b的可能起源和它的低光度进行了检查与新的数据和分析表明,从一个大颗粒的磁盘灭绝是一个可行的方案,并优于散射光学厚盘。2 M1207 b的光谱提供了一个重要的比较,比较了在恒星主星周围轨道上成像的行星大气层光谱中可能存在的特征类型。

英文摘要:

Direct-imaging searches for planets reveal wide orbit planets amenable to spectroscopy, and their atmospheres represent an important comparison to the irradiated atmospheres of Hot Jupiters. Using AO integral field spectroscopy of 2M1207 b, the shape of the continuum emission over the J, H, and K bands from the atmosphere of this young, planetary mass companion is measured in order to compare with atmospheric and evolutionary models, and objects of similar temperature in young clusters and the field. The 2M1207 b spectrum has the highest spectral resolution (R~300-1500) and largest wavelength coverage, including the first J-band spectrum, for this benchmark object. The high signal-to-noise of the data allow a clear identification of signatures of low surface gravity, and comparison with a grid of AMES-Dusty models reveals a best-fit effective temperature of Teff=1600 K with a preferred surface gravity of log g=4.5. The J-band flux is depressed relative to nearly all L-type objects, and the detailed shape of the absorption features across the H-band exhibit differences from the model predictions. The possible origins of 2M1207 b and its low luminosity are examined with the new data and analysis which suggest that extinction from a disk with large grains is a viable scenario and is preferred over scatttering off an optically thick disk. The 2M1207 b spectrum presents an important comparison for the types of features which may be present in upcoming spectra of the atmospheres of planets imaged in orbit around stellar primaries.
