摘要:

L波段光谱学是冷低重力大气的强有力探测器:甲烷在3.3 $μ$ m附近的P、Q和R分支基本跃迁提供了碳化学的灵敏探测器;云层厚度改变了整个波段的光谱斜率; H $_{3}^{+}$不透明度可用于探测极光。许多直接成像的气体巨星同伴附近的年轻恒星表现出L-波段通量不同的领域人口的棕矮星在相同的有效温度。在这里,我们描述了委托Clio 2,1-5 $μ$米仪器后面的麦哲伦自适应光学系统的L波段光谱模式。我们用这个系统来测量直接成像的同伴的L-波段光谱。我们的光谱一般是一致的参数从以前的近红外光谱这些晚M到早L型对象。因此,与场序列的偏差被限制在1500 K以下发生。这个范围包括L-T转换的字段对象,并建议,所观察到的差异是由于云结构和CO/CH $_{4}$化学的差异。

英文摘要:

L-band spectroscopy is a powerful probe of cool low-gravity atmospheres: The P, Q, and R branch fundamental transitions of methane near 3.3 $μ$m provide a sensitive probe of carbon chemistry; cloud thickness modifies the spectral slope across the band; and H$_{3}^{+}$ opacity can be used to detect aurorae. Many directly imaged gas-giant companions to nearby young stars exhibit L-band fluxes distinct from the field population of brown dwarfs at the same effective temperature. Here we describe commissioning the L-band spectroscopic mode of Clio2, the 1-5 $μ$m instrument behind the Magellan adaptive-optics system. We use this system to measure L-band spectra of directly imaged companions. Our spectra are generally consistent with the parameters derived from previous near-infrared spectra for these late M to early L type objects. Therefore, deviations from the field sequence are constrained to occur below 1500 K. This range includes the L-T transition for field objects and suggests that observed discrepancies are due to differences in cloud structure and CO/CH$_{4}$ chemistry.
