摘要:

我们获得了前主序星天文台显微镜在其海王星大小的行星过境,以调查其轨道和大气的光谱。我们使用斯巴鲁望远镜上的高色散近红外光谱仪IRD来检测行星的多普勒“阴影”,并限制投影的恒星密度。对观测到的行星多普勒阴影的建模表明,该系统的自旋-轨道对齐($λ=-4.7_{-6.4}^{+6.8}$度),但需要额外的观测来证实这一发现。我们使用的IRD数据和光谱获得的NIRSPEC的NIK-II搜索在1083 nm线的亚稳三重态He I的行星的大气层的吸收,并放置在99 $\%$置信度的上限为3.7毫微英寸的等效宽度。利用此限制和帕克风模型,我们将从大气层的逃逸率约束为$<0.15-0.45\, M_{\oplus}$ Gyr $^{-1}$,与XUV能量限制逃逸计算和流体动力学模型预测的速率相当,但需要细化行星质量才能进行严格的测试。

英文摘要:

We obtained spectra of the pre-main sequence star AU Microscopii during a transit of its Neptune-sized planet to investigate its orbit and atmosphere. We used the high-dispersion near-infrared spectrograph IRD on the Subaru telescope to detect the Doppler "shadow" from the planet and constrain the projected stellar obliquity. Modeling of the observed planetary Doppler shadow suggests a spin-orbit alignment of the system ($λ=-4.7_{-6.4}^{+6.8}$ degrees), but additional observations are needed to confirm this finding. We use both the IRD data and spectra obtained with NIRSPEC on Keck-II to search for absorption in the 1083 nm line of metastable triplet He I by the planet's atmosphere and place an upper limit for the equivalent width of 3.7 mÅat 99 $\%$ confidence. With this limit and a Parker wind model we constrain the escape rate from the atmosphere to $<0.15-0.45\, M_{\oplus}$ Gyr$^{-1}$, comparable to the rates predicted by an XUV energy-limited escape calculation and hydrodynamic models, but refinement of the planet mass is needed for rigorous tests.
