AI总结:

本文利用CRIRES+高分辨率光谱仪在WASP-18b和WASP-76b昼侧探测到CO发射线,证实其存在温度反演,并通过反演获得温度-压强剖面、CO混合比及赤道自转速度。

摘要:

超热木星(UHJs)的昼侧大气被预测在高海拔处具有温度极高的大气温度反演层。我们使用新型CRIRES+高分辨率光谱仪在近红外波段观测了WASP-18b和WASP-76b的昼侧热发射光谱。利用互相关技术,我们在两颗行星中均探测到强烈的CO发射线,这证实了它们昼侧半球存在温度反演。这两颗行星是首批在绕F型恒星运行的超热木星中探测到CO发射线的天体;此前探测到的多为绕A型恒星运行的超热木星。两颗行星还发现了微弱的H2O发射信号证据。我们进一步对探测到的CO谱线进行了前向模型反演,获得了温度-压强剖面以及CO体积混合比。WASP-18b反演得到的对数CO混合比(-2.2)略高于假设太阳丰度的自洽模型预测值。对于WASP-76b,反演得到的CO混合比(-3.6)与太阳丰度值大致一致。此外,在分析谱线轮廓展宽时,我们将赤道自转速度(Veq)纳入反演。得到的WASP-18b的Veq为7.0 km/s,WASP-76b为5.2 km/s,与潮汐锁定的自转速度一致。

英文摘要:

The dayside atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are predicted to possess temperature inversion layers with extremely high temperatures at high altitudes. We observed the dayside thermal emission spectra of WASP-18b and WASP-76b with the new CRIRES+ high-resolution spectrograph at near-infrared wavelengths. Using the cross-correlation technique, we detected strong CO emission lines in both planets, which confirms the existence of temperature inversions on their dayside hemispheres. The two planets are the first UHJs orbiting F-type stars with CO emission lines detected; previous detections were mostly for UHJs orbiting A-type stars. Evidence of weak H2O emission signals is also found for both planets. We further applied forward-model retrievals on the detected CO lines and retrieved the temperature-pressure profiles along with the CO volume mixing ratios. The retrieved logarithmic CO mixing ratio of WASP-18b (-2.2) is slightly higher than the value predicted by the self-consistent model assuming solar abundance. For WASP-76b, the retrieved CO mixing ratio (-3.6) is broadly consistent with the value of solar abundance. In addition, we included the equatorial rotation velocity (Veq ) in the retrieval when analyzing the line profile broadening. The obtained Veq is 7.0 km/s for WASP-18b and 5.2 km/s for WASP-76b, which are consistent with the tidally locked rotational velocities.
