AI 中文摘要
木星的高层大气为验证气态巨系外行星的第一性原理模型以及约束支配这些行星的关键物理过程提供了真实的实验室。我们扩展了一维第一性原理热化学行星高层大气模型Kompot，以模拟巨系外行星的富氢大气，并以原型巨行星木星为基准对其进行了验证。我们通过在一维径向大气网格中求解能量平衡、光化学动力学、流体动力学和垂直输运方程，模拟了木星高层大气的经向和纬向平均热与化学剖面。高层大气的热特性由太阳X射线和紫外线（XUV）加热与红外（IR）辐射、热传导、焦耳加热以及H3+和CH4导致的辐射冷却之间的平衡决定。我们将模型结果与伽利略号、朱诺号（JUNO）及其他仪器对木星的观测结果进行了比较。该模拟结果还被用作TauREx代码辐射传输模块的输入，以模拟木星的红外透射光谱。我们的模型再现了木星观测到的高层大气热结构和CH4体积混合比，其他气体的化学丰度也与观测结果及现有光化学模型高度吻合。加热和冷却结果显示，焦耳加热是整个高层大气大部分区域的主要热源。透射光谱表明，在近红外和中红外波长范围内存在丰富的CH4。我们针对木星高层大气构建的物理自洽模型框架，为未来对各类富氢系外行星大气的热与化学结构进行自洽模拟提供了经过验证的基线。
英文摘要
Jupiter's upper atmosphere provides a real-world laboratory for validating first-principles models of giant gaseous exoplanets and for constraining the key physical processes that govern them. We extended the 1D first-principles thermo-chemical planetary upper atmosphere model Kompot to simulate hydrogen-rich atmospheres of giant exoplanets and benchmarked it against the archetype giant planet Jupiter. We modelled a longitudinal and latitudinal average thermal and chemical profile of Jupiter's upper atmosphere by solving the equations of energy balance, photochemical kinetics, hydrodynamics, and vertical transport in a 1D radial atmospheric grid. The thermal properties of the upper atmosphere were determined by a balance between heating from solar X-ray and ultraviolet (XUV), and infrared (IR) radiation, thermal conduction, Joule heating, and radiative cooling due to H3+ and CH4. The model results were compared with Jupiter observations from Galileo, JUNO, and other instruments. The simulation results were also used as input in the radiative transfer module of the TauREx code to simulate Jupiter's infrared transmission spectrum. Our model reproduces Jupiter's observed upper-atmospheric thermal structure and observed CH4 volume mixing ratios. The chemical abundances of other gases also exhibit strong agreement with observations and existing photochemical models. Heating and cooling results show that Joule heating is the dominant heating source throughout most of the upper atmosphere. The transmission spectrum indicates the rich presence of CH4 in the near- and mid-IR wavelength ranges. Our physically consistent model framework for Jupiter's upper atmosphere provides a validated baseline for future self-consistent simulations of the thermal and chemical structure of a diverse population of hydrogen-rich exoplanet atmospheres.
