摘要：
透射光谱观测表明，热木星和热海王星很可能拥有由恒星辐射驱动的逃逸大气。大量模型预测，磁场可能对热行星的大气产生显著影响。通常情况下，逃逸大气并非完全电离，磁场仅直接作用于其中的电离组分的逃逸过程。考虑到电离组分与中性原子之间的化学反应以及碰撞过程，磁场会间接影响中性原子的逃逸，进而影响行星大气在透射光谱中的探测信号。为模拟这一过程，我们基于磁流体动力学（MHD）代码PLUTO开发了一套磁流体多流体模型。作为初步探索，我们研究了磁场对热海王星GJ 436 b逃逸大气中H⁺与H解耦过程的影响。由于H和H⁺之间存在强共振相互作用，即便磁场很强，二者之间的耦合依然紧密。当然，我们的工作也表明，在逃逸大气的MHD模拟中，将H和H⁺合并为单一流体是一种合理的假设。然而，我们的模拟结果显示，在磁场作用下，H⁺与H的解耦存在明显的区域差异；随着磁场强度升高，解耦程度也随之增大。对于O等更重的粒子，O与H⁺之间的解耦更为显著。本研究结果为未来研究热木星和热海王星逃逸大气中重原子在磁场影响下的解耦过程提供了重要参考。
英文摘要：
Observations of transmission spectra reveal that hot Jupiters and Neptunes are likely to possess escaping atmospheres driven by stellar radiation. Numerous models predict that magnetic fields may exert significant influences on the atmospheres of hot planets. Generally, the escaping atmospheres are not entirely ionized, and magnetic fields only directly affect the escape of ionized components within them. Considering the chemical reactions between ionized components and neutral atoms, as well as collision processes, magnetic fields indirectly impact the escape of neutral atoms, thereby influencing the detection signals of planetary atmospheres in transmission spectra. In order to simulate this process, we developed a magneto-hydrodynamic multi-fluid model based on MHD code PLUTO. As an initial exploration, we investigated the impact of magnetic fields on the decoupling of H$^+$ and H in the escaping atmosphere of the hot Neptune GJ436 b. Due to the strong resonant interactions between H and H$^+$, the coupling between them is tight even if the magnetic field is strong. Of course, alternatively, our work also suggests that merging H and H$^+$ into a single flow can be a reasonable assumption in MHD simulations of escaping atmospheres. However, our simulation results indicate that under the influence of magnetic fields, there are noticeable regional differences in the decoupling of H$^+$ and H. With the increase of magnetic field strength, the degree of decoupling also increases. For heavier particles such as O, the decoupling between O and H$^+$ is more pronounced. Our findings provide important insights for future studies on the decoupling processes of heavy atoms in the escaping atmospheres of hot Jupiters and hot Neptunes under the influence of magnetic fields.
