摘要:

最近对热系外行星的红外光谱分析开始揭示它们的大气成分。在行星大气的深处,其成分是由热化学平衡控制的。光化学在大气层中变得重要,在高于1巴的水平上。这两种化学物质在热的类湍流大气中在约1-10巴之间竞争,这取决于涡流混合的强度和温度。HD 189733 b提供了一个很好的实验室来研究热大气的化学后果。HD 189733 b和HD 209458 b最近的光谱包含CH 4,CO2,CO和H2O的特征。在这里,我们确定的主要化学途径,管理的丰度的CH 4,CO2,CO和H2O的热化学平衡化学,光化学,及其组合的情况下。我们的研究结果表明,这些物种的丰度可以被光化学增强高于或低于热化学平衡值,所以必须采取一些谨慎时,假设大气是在严格的热化学平衡。

英文摘要:

Recent infrared spectroscopy of hot exoplanets is beginning to reveal their atmospheric composition. Deep with in the planetary atmosphere, the composition is controlled by thermochemical equilibrium. Photochemistry becomes important higher in the atmosphere, at levels above ~1 bar. These two chemistries compete between ~1-10 bars in hot Jupiter-like atmospheres, depending on the strength of the eddy mixing and temperature. HD189733b provides an excellent laboratory in which to study the consequences of chemistry of hot atmospheres. The recent spectra of HD189733b and HD209458b contain signatures of CH4, CO2, CO and H2O. Here we identify the primary chemical pathways that govern the abundances of CH4, CO2, CO and H2O in the cases of thermochemical equilibrium chemistry, photochemistry, and their combination. Our results suggest that the abundance of these species can be photochemically enhanced above or below the thermochemical equilibrium value, so some caution must be taken when assuming that an atmosphere is in strict thermochemical equilibrium.
