摘要:
像MASCARA-1 b这样的热巨行星被认为具有热逆温大气,这使其成为通过高分辨率光谱进行大气表征的理想实验室。尽管如此,此前在透射光中探测MASCARA-1 b大气的尝试均得到了阴性结果。在本文中,我们旨在探测MASCARA-1 b的光学发射光谱。我们使用高分辨率光谱仪PEPSI在行星次食附近观测了MASCARA-1(光谱型A8)。我们将光谱与针对若干原子和分子种类计算的合成模板进行互相关。我们成功探测到MASCARA-1 b大气中的FeI、CrI和TiI,其S/N分别约为7、4和5,并证实了约13 km/s的预期系统速度以及MASCARA-1 b约200 km/s的径向速度半振幅。在近期提出的低于某一行星平衡温度时Ti会发生冷阱捕获的背景下,Ti的探测尤为重要。我们通过发射光谱证实MASCARA-1 b周围存在大气。我们得出结论,透射光谱中未能探测到大气,是由于该行星的高重力和/或行星轨迹与其多普勒阴影之间的重叠所致。
英文摘要:
Hot giant planets like MASCARA-1 b are expected to have thermally inverted atmospheres, that makes them perfect laboratory for the atmospheric characterization through high-resolution spectroscopy. Nonetheless, previous attempts of detecting the atmosphere of MASCARA-1 b in transmission have led to negative results. In this paper we aim at the detection of the optical emission spectrum of MASCARA-1 b. We used the high-resolution spectrograph PEPSI to observe MASCARA-1 (spectral type A8) near the secondary eclipse of the planet. We cross-correlated the spectra with synthetic templates computed for several atomic and molecular species. We obtained the detection of FeI, CrI and TiI in the atmosphere of MASCARA-1 b with a S/N ~7, 4 and 5 respectively, and confirmed the expected systemic velocity of ~13 km/s and the radial velocity semi-amplitude of MASCARA-1 b of ~200 km/s. The detection of Ti is of particular importance in the context of the recently proposed Ti cold-trapping below a certain planetary equilibrium temperature. We confirm the presence of an the atmosphere around MASCARA-1 b through emission spectroscopy. We conclude that the atmospheric non detection in transmission spectroscopy is due to the high gravity of the planet and/or to the overlap between the planetary track and its Doppler shadow.
