摘要:

我们提出了一个研究的空间扫描光谱观测的GJ 1132 b,一个温暖的($\sim$ 500 K)超级地球(1.13 R $_\oplus$),获得了与G141棱镜(1.125 - 1.650 $μ$ m)的宽视场相机3(WFC 3)的过境。我们使用公开可用的Iraclis管道从五次访问中提取行星透射光谱,并生成精确的透射光谱。我们使用TauREx 3大气反演代码分析了光谱,结果表明,测量结果在研究的波长范围内不包含分子特征,并且与平线模型最佳拟合。我们的研究结果表明,这颗行星没有一个明确的原始,氢占主导地位的大气。相反,GJ 1132 b可能有一个多云的氢为主的包层,一个非常丰富的二次大气,没有空气,或者有一个尚未被探测到的稀薄大气。由于WFC 3的波长覆盖范围很窄,这些情况还不能区分,但詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜可能能够探测到大气特征,尽管可能需要几次观测来提供有用的限制。

英文摘要:

We present a study on the spatially scanned spectroscopic observations of the transit of GJ 1132 b, a warm ($\sim$500 K) Super-Earth (1.13 R$_\oplus$) that was obtained with the G141 grism (1.125 - 1.650 $μ$m) of the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. We used the publicly available Iraclis pipeline to extract the planetary transmission spectra from the five visits and produce a precise transmission spectrum. We analysed the spectrum using the TauREx3 atmospheric retrieval code with which we show that the measurements do not contain molecular signatures in the investigated wavelength range and are best-fit with a flat-line model. Our results suggest that the planet does not have a clear primordial, hydrogen-dominated atmosphere. Instead, GJ 1132 b could have a cloudy hydrogen-dominated envelope, a very enriched secondary atmosphere, be airless, or have a tenuous atmosphere that has not been detected. Due to the narrow wavelength coverage of WFC3, these scenarios cannot be distinguished yet but the James Webb Space Telescope may be capable of detecting atmospheric features, although several observations may be required to provide useful constraints.
