摘要:

本文报道了两颗凌日热巨系外行星Kepler-5 b和Kepler-6 b被其母星掩星的探测和测量结果。这些观测是用斯皮策太空望远镜在近红外和光学波长下结合一年多的开普勒测光获得的。调查包括约束这些系统的偏心率,并获得个别行星的宽带出射光谱。对于这两个目标,掩星检测在3西格玛水平在每个波长与中间掩星时间与圆形轨道一致。根据红外观测结果,这两颗行星的亮温分别为T=1930+/-100K和T=1660+/-120K。我们测量了Kepler带内的光学几何散射A_g,发现Kepler-5 b的A_g=0.12+/-0.04,Kepler-6 b的A_g=0.11+/-0.04,这两种情况下的键散射的上限均为A_B < 0.17。这两颗行星的观测结果最好用这样的模型来描述,即大部分入射能量重新分布在昼侧,只有不到10%的吸收恒星通量重新分布到这些行星的夜侧。开普勒-5b的数据支持没有温度反演的模型,而开普勒-6b的数据不允许区分有和没有反演的模型。

英文摘要:

This paper reports the detection and the measurements of occultations of the two transiting hot giant exoplanets Kepler-5b and Kepler-6b by their parent stars. The observations are obtained in the near infrared with Spitzer Space Telescope and at optical wavelengths by combining more than a year of Kepler photometry. The investigation consists of constraining the eccentricities of these systems and of obtaining broad band emergent spectra for individual planets. For both targets, the occultations are detected at 3 sigma level at each wavelength with mid-occultation times consistent with circular orbits. The brightness temperatures of these planets are deduced from the infrared observations and reach T=1930+/-100K and T=1660+/-120K for Kepler-5b and Kepler-6b respectively. We measure optical geometric albedos A_g in the Kepler bandpass and find A_g=0.12+/-0.04 for Kepler-5b and A_g=0.11+/-0.04 for Kepler-6b leading to an upper limit for the Bond albedo of A_B < 0.17 in both cases. The observations for both planets are best described by models for which most of the incident energy is redistributed on the dayside, with only less than 10% of the absorbed stellar flux redistributed to the night side of these planets. The data for Kepler-5b favor a model without a temperature inversion, whereas for Kepler-6b they do not allow distinguishing between models with and without inversion.
