摘要:

我们的目标是利用理论模型,在考虑詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜中红外成像仪(MIRI)相位曲线约束的情况下,详细研究热木星WASP-43 b的化学性质。我们用一组伪二维和三维光化学模型,模拟了WASP-43 b在各种配置下的成分,并将其与大气反演模型进行比较。我们证实,在理论模型中,当风速>500米/秒时,非平衡化学会降低行星夜侧的甲烷浓度。改变模型中的金属丰度会导致二氧化碳和二氧化硫浓度的大幅变化,当大气金属丰度>10倍太阳时,二氧化硫会在夜侧的合成发射光谱中产生中红外吸收特征。我们的模型为极到赤道的环流增强甲烷、氨和氰化氢的丰度提供了证据,不过这还不足以产生可检测的光谱特征。最后,我们表明水、一氧化碳和二氧化碳的建模较为可靠,但受光化学影响的物种对模型特定假设和路径更为敏感。我们得出结论,水平猝灭是解释在WASP-43 b的MIRI相位曲线中未检测到甲烷的主要机制。这种机制只需要中等风速,并且在各种热结构和大气金属丰度下都有效。此外,与文献中以前不包含硫化学的模型相比,碳硫耦合化学导致甲烷进一步减少。我们不支持高金属丰度,因为这会在MIRI光谱中产生可观测的二氧化硫特征。我们的研究表明,相位依赖光化学模型是解释热木星相位曲线的重要工具,但未来需要进行基准测试以提高光化学模型的准确性。

英文摘要:

Our goal is to investigate the chemistry of the hot Jupiter WASP-43 b in detail using theoretical models, considering the constraints of the James Webb Space Telescope MIRI phase curve. With a suite of pseudo-two-dimensional and three-dimensional photochemical models, we simulate the composition of WASP-43 b in various configurations, and compare them with atmospheric retrieval models. We confirm that disequilibrium chemistry in our theoretical models reduces the methane concentration on the planet night side for wind jet speeds > 500 m/s. Varying the metallicity in the models induces large changes in the CO$_2$ and SO$_2$ concentrations, with SO$_2$ producing mid-infrared absorption features in synthetic emission spectra of the night side at atmospheric metallicities > 10x solar. Our models provide evidence for pole-to-equator circulation enhancing the CH$_4$, NH$_3$, and HCN abundances, which is nonetheless insufficient for detectable spectral features. Finally, we show that H$_2$O, CO, and CO$_2$ are robustly modeled, but species affected by photochemistry are more sensitive to model-specific assumptions and pathways. We conclude that horizontal quenching is the prime mechanism that explains the non-detection of methane in the MIRI phase-curve of WASP-43 b. This mechanism requires only moderate wind speeds and is operative at various thermal structures and atmospheric metallicities. Furthermore, coupled carbon-sulfur chemistry leads to an additional decrease in methane compared to previous models in the literature that did not contain sulfur chemistry. We do not favor a high metallicity as it would have led to observable SO$_2$ features in the MIRI spectra. Our study shows that phase-dependent photochemistry models are essential tools in the interpretation of hot-Jupiter phase curves, but benchmarking is needed to improve the accuracy of photochemical models in the future.
