辐照大气的非灰色分析模型。I:推导

A non-grey analytical model for irradiated atmospheres. I: Derivation

Vivien Parmentier, Tristan Guillot

摘要:

上下文半灰色大气模型(一个不透明的可见光和一个不透明的红外线)是有用的,以了解全球结构的辐射大气,其动态和内部结构和行星,褐矮星和恒星的演变。但是,当与直接数值辐射转移计算辐射系外行星相比,这些模型系统地高估了温度在低光学深度,独立的不透明度参数。我们希望了解为什么半灰色模型在低光学深度失败,并提供一个更准确的近似大气结构占在红外线的可变不透明度。我们的分析辐照非灰色模型被发现提供的温度范围是一致的数值计算得到的。我们发现,即使是轻微的非灰色的热不透明度的温度结构显着不同,从以前的半灰色模型。对于小的β值(预期当线占主导地位),我们发现,非灰色效应仅限于低光学深度。然而,对于β大于0.5(适当的存在下,与普朗克函数的宽度波长依赖性较小或相当的频带),我们发现,温度结构的影响,甚至下降到红外光学深度单位和更深的所谓的覆盖效应的结果。我们推导出的表达式可以用来提供一个适当的函数形式的算法,从光谱信息反演大气特性。由于完整的大气结构可以直接计算,这些表达式应该是有用的模拟这些大气的动力学和行星的热演化。最后,它们应该被用来测试完整的辐射转移模型,并改善它们的收敛性。

英文摘要:

Context. Semi-grey atmospheric models (with one opacity for the visible and one opacity for the infrared) are useful to understand the global structure of irradiated atmospheres, their dynamics and the interior structure and evolution of planets, brown dwarfs and stars. But when compared to direct numerical radiative transfer calculations for irradiated exoplanets, these models systematically overestimate the temperatures at low optical depth, independently of the opacity parameters. We wish to understand why semi-grey models fail at low optical depths, and provide a more accurate approximation to the atmospheric structure by accounting for the variable opacity in the infrared. Our analytical irradiated non-grey model is found to provide a range of temperatures that is consistent with that obtained by numerical calculations. We find that even for slightly non-grey thermal opacities the temperature structure differs significantly from previous semi-grey models. For small values of beta (expected when lines are dominant), we find that the non-grey effects are confined to low-optical depths. However, for beta larger than 0.5 (appropriate in the presence of bands with a wavelength-dependence smaller or comparable with the width of the Planck function), we find that the temperature structure is affected even down to infrared optical depths unity and deeper as a result of the so-called blanketing effect. The expressions that we derive may be used to provide a proper functional form for algorithms that invert the atmospheric properties from spectral information. Because a full atmospheric structure can be calculated directly, these expressions should be useful for simulations of the dynamics of these atmospheres and of the thermal evolution of the planets. Finally, they should be used to test full radiative transfer models and improve their convergence.
