AI总结:

利用CUTE立方星对超热木星KELT-9b进行近紫外透射光谱观测,发现其NUV吸收比光学大1.54倍,且存在过量吸收趋势,表明扩展大气,但无法分辨单条谱线。

摘要:

我们展示了利用科罗拉多紫外凌星实验(CUTE)立方星获得的 KELT-9b(已知最热的系外行星)的新近紫外(NUV,λ = 2479–3306 Å)透射光谱。2022年9月28日和29日观测到两次凌星,分别称为 Visit 1 和 Visit 2。结合每次凌星的凌星与系统学模型,最佳拟合宽带 NUV 光曲线为 Visit 1 的 R_p/R_⋆ = 0.136^{+0.0125}_{-0.0146},Visit 2 的 R_p/R_⋆ = 0.111^{+0.0162}_{-0.0190},在 NUV 中平均比光学波长处大 1.54 倍。虽然两次凌星之间的系统学差异显著,但两条宽带 NUV 光曲线彼此一致。使用 25 Å 分箱的透射光谱显示出 NUV 中过量吸收的总体趋势,与超热木星的预期一致。尽管我们在 NUV 中看到扩展大气,但降级数据缺乏探测单个谱线的灵敏度。

英文摘要:

We present new near-ultraviolet (NUV, $λ$ = 2479 $-$ 3306 $Å$) transmission spectroscopy of KELT-9b, the hottest known exoplanet, obtained with the Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment ($CUTE$) CubeSat. Two transits were observed on September 28th and September 29th 2022, referred to as Visits 1 and 2 respectively. Using a combined transit and systematics model for each visit, the best-fit broadband NUV light curves are R$_{\text{p}}$/R$_{\star}$ $=$ 0.136$_{0.0146}^{0.0125}$ for Visit 1 and R$_{\text{p}}$/R$_{\star}$ $=$ 0.111$_{0.0190}^{0.0162}$ for Visit 2, appearing an average of 1.54$\times$ larger in the NUV than at optical wavelengths. While the systematics between the two visits vary considerably, the two broadband NUV light curves are consistent with each other. A transmission spectrum with 25 $Å$ bins suggests a general trend of excess absorption in the NUV, consistent with expectations for ultra-hot Jupiters. Although we see an extended atmosphere in the NUV, the reduced data lack the sensitivity to probe individual spectral lines.
