Tau-REx(Tau Retrieval of Exoplanets)是一个全新的、完全贝叶斯大气检索代码,专为太阳系外大气定制。在Waldmann et al.(2015)中,介绍了透射光谱的情况,在这里,我们介绍了Tau-REx框架的发射光谱光谱检索。与透射光谱相比,由于需要检索完整的大气温度-压力(TP)分布,因此发射情况通常显著更简并。在目前对系外行星大气进行测量的情况下尤其如此,这些大气要么是低信噪比,要么是低光谱分辨率,或者两者兼而有之。在这里,我们提出了一种新的方法,结合现有的两种方法来模拟所述TP剖面:1)参数剖面,其中大气TP结构由几个模型参数解析近似,2)逐层方法,其中单独的大气层进行建模。这两种方法在收敛性和潜在的模型偏差方面都有明显的优点和缺点。本文提出的Tau-REx混合模型是一种新的两阶段TP剖面反演方法,它结合了解析解的鲁棒性和逐层方法的精确性。使用热木星WASP-76 b和热超级地球55 Cnc e的模拟,以及对HD 189733 b的二次日食测量的检索过程。
英文摘要:
Tau-REx (Tau Retrieval of Exoplanets) is a novel, fully Bayesian atmospheric retrieval code custom built for extrasolar atmospheres. In Waldmann et al. (2015) the transmission spectroscopic case was introduced, here we present the emission spectroscopy spectral retrieval for the Tau-REx framework. Compared to transmission spectroscopy, the emission case is often significantly more degenerate due to the need to retrieve the full atmospheric temperature-pressure (TP) profile. This is particularly true in the case of current measurements of exoplanetary atmospheres, which are either of low signal-to-noise, low spectral resolution or both. Here we present a new way of combining two existing approaches to the modelling of the said TP profile: 1) the parametric profile, where the atmospheric TP structure is analytically approximated by a few model parameters, 2) the Layer-by-Layer approach, where individual atmospheric layers are modelled. Both these approaches have distinct advantages and disadvantages in terms of convergence properties and potential model biases. The Tau-REx hybrid model presented here is a new two-stage TP profile retrieval, which combines the robustness of the analytic solution with the accuracy of the Layer-by-Layer approach. The retrieval process is demonstrated using simulations of the hot-Jupiter WASP-76b and the hot SuperEarth 55 Cnc e, as well as on the secondary eclipse measurements of HD189733b.
