摘要:

近年来,人们对亚海王星大小的行星的特征越来越感兴趣,因为它们在银河系中普遍存在,而在我们的太阳系中却不存在。HD 97658是拥有这类行星的最明亮的恒星之一,我们通过结合该系统的4次HST凌日,12次Spitzer/IRAC凌日和8次MOST凌日来呈现这颗行星的透射光谱。我们的透射光谱比以前的工作有更高的信噪比,结果表明,在过去的工作中,该行星的透射光谱的过境深度从波长1.1到1.7微米的轻微增加可能是系统的。尽管如此,我们的大气建模结果并不是决定性的,因为没有模型能与我们的数据完美匹配。尽管如此,我们发现具有高C/O比(C/O >~ 0.8)和金属丰度>~ 100倍太阳金属丰度的大气是有利的。我们结合所有新的斯皮策和MOST观测的中天时间,得到更新的轨道周期P=9.489295 +/- 0.000005 d,最佳拟合的中天时间中心为T_0 = 2456361.80690 +/- 0.00038(BJD)。在这个系统中没有发现过境时间变化。我们还提出了新的测量恒星自转周期(34 +/- 2天)和恒星活动周期(9.6年)的主恒星HD 97658。最后,我们计算并排名所有已确认的行星的透射光谱度量低于1000 K,大小在1到4 R_Earth之间。我们发现,至少有三分之一的温度低于1000 K的小行星可以使用JWST很好地表征,其中HD 97658 b排名第五,这意味着它仍然是大气表征的高优先级目标。

英文摘要:

Recent years have seen increasing interest in the characterization of sub-Neptune sized planets because of their prevalence in the Galaxy, contrasted with their absence in our solar system. HD 97658 is one of the brightest stars hosting a planet of this kind, and we present the transmission spectrum of this planet by combining four HST transits, twelve Spitzer/IRAC transits, and eight MOST transits of this system. Our transmission spectrum has higher signal to noise ratio than that from previous works, and the result suggests that the slight increase in transit depth from wavelength 1.1 to 1.7 microns reported in previous works on the transmission spectrum of this planet is likely systematic. Nonetheless, our atmospheric modeling results are not conclusive as no model provides an excellent match to our data. Nonetheless we find that atmospheres with high C/O ratios (C/O >~ 0.8) and metallicities of >~ 100x solar metallicity are favored. We combine the mid-transit times from all the new Spitzer and MOST observations and obtain an updated orbital period of P=9.489295 +/- 0.000005 d, with a best-fit transit time center at T_0 = 2456361.80690 +/- 0.00038 (BJD). No transit timing variations are found in this system. We also present new measurements of the stellar rotation period (34 +/- 2 d) and stellar activity cycle (9.6 yr) of the host star HD 97658. Finally, we calculate and rank the Transmission Spectroscopy Metric of all confirmed planets cooler than 1000 K and with sizes between 1 and 4 R_Earth. We find that at least a third of small planets cooler than 1000 K can be well characterized using JWST, and of those, HD 97658b is ranked fifth, meaning it remains a high-priority target for atmospheric characterization.
