摘要:

我们使用高动态范围,高分辨率的L-波段光谱测量的径向速度变化的热木星的τ Bootis行星系。仅通过恒星光谱的变化来探测系外行星,就可以测量行星的最小质量,其真实质量随着未知的轨道倾角而退化。将陶博系统视为高通量比双线光谱双星,可以直接测量行星的真实质量及其大气特性。在去除大地吸收并与以水不透明度为主的模型行星光谱进行交叉相关之后,我们测量到了该行星在K_p = 111 +- 5 km/s处的6 σ探测,光谱通量比的1 σ上限为10^-4。该径向速度导致行星轨道倾角i = 45+3- 4 °,质量M_P = 5.90+0.35-0.20 M_ Jup。我们报告的第一次检测到水蒸气在大气中的非过境热木星,陶布b。

英文摘要:

We use high dynamic range, high-resolution L-band spectroscopy to measure the radial velocity variations of the hot Jupiter in the tau Bootis planetary system. The detection of an exoplanet by the shift in the stellar spectrum alone provides a measure of the planet's minimum mass, with the true mass degenerate with the unknown orbital inclination. Treating the tau Boo system as a high flux ratio double-lined spectroscopic binary permits the direct measurement of the planet's true mass as well as its atmospheric properties. After removing telluric absorption and cross-correlating with a model planetary spectrum dominated by water opacity, we measure a 6-sigma detection of the planet at K_p = 111 +- 5 km/s, with a 1-sigma upper limit on the spectroscopic flux ratio of 10^-4. This radial velocity leads to a planetary orbital inclination of i = 45+3-4degrees and a mass of M_P = 5.90+0.35-0.20 M_ Jup. We report the first detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of a non-transiting hot Jupiter, tau Boo b.
