摘要:

了解你的恒星,了解你的行星大气层。每一颗有大气测量的系外行星都绕着一颗恒星运行,恒星环境直接影响行星大气。在这里,我们介绍了超热木星KELT-20 b的发射光谱,它提供了宿主恒星性质和行星大气热结构之间的观测联系。它是目前唯一一颗热辐射测量值在$T_{eq}\sim$ 2200 K范围内的行星,围绕早期A型恒星运行。通过将它与FGK恒星周围的其他类似的超热彗星进行比较,我们可以更好地了解不同的宿主恒星类型如何影响行星大气。发射光谱覆盖0.6至4.5 $μm$,数据来自TESS、HST WFC 3/G141和Spitzer 4.5 $μm$通道。KELT-20 b具有1.4 $μm$水特征强度度量S $_{H_2O}$ = -0.097 $\pm$ 0.02,并且在WFC 3/G141(T $_b$ =2402 $\pm$ 14 K)和Spitzer 4.5 $μm$通道(T $_b$ =2930 $\pm59$ K)之间的黑体亮度温度差为528 K。这些非常大的H $_2$ O和CO发射特征与A型主星相结合,使KELT-20 b成为其他类似热彗星中唯一的行星。根据PHOENIX模型的计算结果,其主星(T $_{eff}=8720\pm250$ K)丰富的FUV、NUV和光辐射是驱动其强烈的热逆和突出的辐射特征的关键。

英文摘要:

Know thy star, know thy planetary atmosphere. Every exoplanet with atmospheric measurements orbits around a star, and the stellar environment directly affects the planetary atmosphere. Here we present the emission spectrum of ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-20b which provides an observational link between host star properties and planet atmospheric thermal structure. It is currently the only planet with thermal emission measurements in the $T_{eq}\sim$2200K range that orbits around an early A-type star. By comparing it with other similar ultra-hot Jupiters around FGK stars, we can better understand how different host star types influence planetary atmospheres. The emission spectrum covers 0.6 to 4.5 $μm$ with data from TESS, HST WFC3/G141, and Spitzer 4.5 $μm$ channel. KELT-20b has a 1.4 $μm$ water feature strength metric of S$_{H_2O}$ = -0.097$\pm$0.02 and a blackbody brightness temperature difference of 528K between WFC3/G141 (T$_b$=2402$\pm$14K) and Spitzer 4.5 $μm$ channel (T$_b$=2930$\pm59$K). These very large H$_2$O and CO emission features combined with the A-type host star make KELT-20b a unique planet among other similar hot Jupiters. The abundant FUV, NUV, and optical radiation from its host star (T$_{eff}=8720\pm250$K) is expected to be the key that drives its strong thermal inversion and prominent emission features based on previous PHOENIX models calculations.
