摘要:

观测超高温木星提供了一次前所未有的机会,研究一些已知最极端行星大气的物理特性。由于极高的辐射量轰击其上层大气,超高温木星的白昼温度与某些晚型星相当,使在较冷行星上会凝结的难熔金属以气态存在,同时仍保持相对凉爽的夜侧。由此产生的强烈温度差异不仅会产生强烈的昼夜风,还会在对立半球产生截然不同的化学和云特性。凭借其能够分辨独特于个别化学物质的光谱特征的能力,高分辨率光谱学可以明确区分来自系外行星的大气信号,这些信号遵循明确的开普勒运动,与静止或近静止的telluric和恒星线区分开来。结合超高温木星的高温提供访问难熔金属的窄光谱特征的能力,以及高分辨率光谱学分辨这些窄线的能力,为这些大气提供了大量信息,这些信息在较低的分辨率或对其他类型的行星来说是无法获得的。在本章中,我们探讨了一些关键的物理和化学转变,这些转变区分了超高温木星与其较冷的对应物,并突显了通过高分辨率光谱学探测其大气所带来的独特机会。

英文摘要:

Observations of ultra-hot Jupiters offer an unprecedented opportunity to study the physics of some of the most extreme planetary atmospheres known. With exceedingly high amounts of irradiation blasting their upper atmospheres, ultra-hot Jupiters have dayside temperatures comparable to some late type stars enabling refractory metals otherwise condensed in colder planets to exist in the gas phase, all the while still maintaining comparatively cool nightsides. The ensuing intense temperature contrasts can give rise not only to strong day-to-night winds, but also to vastly different chemical and cloud properties on opposing hemispheres. With its ability to resolve spectral features that are unique to individual chemical species, high resolution spectroscopy can unambiguously disentangle atmospheric signals of exoplanetary origin, which follow a well-defined Keplerian motion, from stationary or pseudo-stationary telluric and stellar lines. Combined, the high temperature of ultra-hot Jupiters providing access to refractory metals with narrow spectral features and the ability of high-resolution spectroscopy to resolve said narrow lines provides access to a wealth of information about these atmospheres that would otherwise be unavailable at lower resolving powers or for other types of planets. In this chapter we explore some of the key physical and chemical transitions that differentiate ultra-hot Jupiters from their colder counterparts and highlight the unique opportunities arising from probing their atmospheres using high resolution spectroscopy.
