摘要:

我们提出了哈勃太空望远镜(HST)的热木星WASP-79 b的过境观测与太空望远镜成像光谱仪(STIS)在近紫外(NUV)。两个凌日观测,PanCET计划的一部分,被用来获得行星在2280和3070年之间的透射光谱。我们使用抖动工程参数和多项式建模来校正原始数据中的系统效应,以拟合两次凌日的白光曲线。我们观察到在短波长的行星与恒星的半径比增加,但没有光谱分辨吸收线。在2400和3000埃处的半径比之间的差达到$0.0191\pm0.0042$($\sim$ 4.5 $-σ$)。虽然NUV透射光谱没有显示出流体动力逃逸的证据,但强烈的大气特征可能是由于非常高海拔的物种。我们使用Exo-REM对WASP-79 b的温度和组成进行了一维模拟。温压廓线穿过辐射活跃云的凝结曲线,特别是MnS、Mg $_2$ SiO、$_4$、Fe和Al $_2$ O $_3$。尽管如此,这些物种中没有一个在短波长下产生观测到的吸收水平,可以解释观测到的行星半径增加。WASP-79 b的过境深度达到23标度高度,使其成为在此温度($\sim$ 1700 K)下观测到的系外行星中最大的光谱特征之一。将WASP-79 b的透射光谱与三种较暖的热吸收剂进行比较,结果表明,在0.2和0.3 $μ$ m之间,WASP-178 b和WASP-121 b的吸收水平相似,而HAT-P-41 b的光谱是平坦的。这些特征可以用SiO的吸收来解释。

英文摘要:

We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) transit observations of the Hot-Jupiter WASP-79b acquired with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) in the near ultraviolet (NUV). Two transit observations, part of the PanCET program, are used to obtain the transmission spectra of the planet between 2280 and 3070Å. We correct for systematic effects in the raw data using the jitter engineering parameters and polynomial modelling to fit the white light curves of the two transits. We observe an increase in the planet-to-star radius ratio at short wavelengths, but no spectrally resolved absorption lines. The difference between the radius ratios at 2400 and 3000Å reaches $0.0191\pm0.0042$ ($\sim$4.5$-σ$). Although the NUV transmission spectrum does not show evidence of hydrodynamical escape, the strong atmospheric features are likely due to species at very high altitudes. We performed a 1D simulation of the temperature and composition of WASP-79b using Exo-REM. The temperature pressure profile crosses condensation curves of radiatively active clouds, particularly MnS, Mg$_2$SiO$_4$, Fe, and Al$_2$O$_3$. Still, none of these species produces the level of observed absorption at short wavelengths and can explain the observed increase in the planet's radius. WASP-79b's transit depth reaches 23 scale height, making it one of the largest spectral features observed in an exoplanet at this temperature ($\sim$1700 K). The comparison of WASP-79b's transmission spectrum with three warmer hot Jupiters shows a similar level of absorption to WASP-178b and WASP-121b between 0.2 and 0.3$μ$m, while HAT-P-41b's spectrum is flat. The features could be explained by SiO absorption.
