本研究使用自动机理生成器构建纳入 CO(a³Π) 增强紫外光化学的热木星大气高保真反应动力学模型，揭示 Lyman-α 光化学反应对 CH4、H2O 和 CO2 生成的增强作用及高温主导机制。

摘要：

在类系外行星大气条件下，对同时发生的紫外光化学过程和热化学过程进行详细建模，对于分析和解释当前及未来大量系外行星光谱数据至关重要。然而，由于化学体系规模庞大，且与仅涉及热化学的情况相比人们对光化学的理解仍不足，建立一个同时纳入紫外光化学和热化学的详细反应动力学模型颇具挑战。在这里，我们利用自动化学反应机理生成器构建了一个高保真热化学反应动力学模型，随后将其与由亚稳态三重态一氧化碳 CO(a³Π) 增强的紫外光化学相结合。模型结果表明，由 Lyman-α 光子驱动的两种不同光化学反应（即 H2 + CO(a³Π) → H + HCO，以及 CO(X¹Σ⁺) + CO(a³Π) → C(³P) + CO2）能够增强热化学，从而在以 H2 为主并含有微量 CO 的体系中显著促进 CH4、H2O 和 CO2 的形成，这在定性上与以往实验研究的观测结果相符。我们的模型还表明，在高于 2000 K 的温度下，热化学成为主导过程。最后，在最高至 2500 K 的模拟化学过程中，没有生成任何更大的物种，例如 C3 物种、苯或更大的分子（即 PAHs）。这可能表明，C2H2 等 C2 物种的光化学可能在以往实验研究中观测到的有机气溶胶形成中发挥关键作用。

英文摘要：

A detailed modeling of simultaneous UV-photochemical and thermochemical processes in exoplanet atmosphere-like conditions is essential for the analysis and interpretation of a vast amount of current and future spectral data from exoplanets. However, a detailed reaction kinetic model that incorporates both UV photochemistry and thermal chemistry is challenging due to the massive size of the chemical system as well as to the lack of understanding of photochemistry compared to thermal-only chemistry. Here, we utilize an automatic chemical reaction mechanism generator to build a high-fidelity thermochemical reaction kinetic model later then incorporated with UV-photochemistry enhanced by metastable triplet-state carbon monoxide (a3Pi). Our model results show that two different photochemical reactions driven by Lyman-a photons (i.e. H2 + CO(a3Pi) -> H + HCO and CO(X1Sig+) + CO(a3Pi) -> C(3P) + CO2) can enhance thermal chemistry resulting in significant increases in the formation of CH4, H2O, and CO2 in H2-dominated systems with trace amounts of CO, which qualitatively matches with the observations from previous experimental studies. Our model also suggests that at temperatures above 2000 K, thermal chemistry becomes the dominant process. Finally, the chemistry simulated up to 2500 K does not produce any larger species such as C3 species, benzene or larger (i.e. PAHs). This might indicate that the photochemistry of C2 species such as C2H2 might play a key role in the formation of organic aerosols observed in the previous experimental study.
