直接成像系外行星的光度变化编码了关于持久表面特征和时变现象（如云层）的信息。我们提出了混合自旋-轨道层析成像方法，该方法从多波段光度变化中同时反演多个静态分量和一个动态分量，以及它们的反射光谱。该方法通过在前向模型中引入时间相关分量，将光谱解混与动态自旋-轨道层析成像相结合。我们对静态表面分布采用稀疏正则化，对反射光谱采用体积正则化，并对动态分量采用克罗内克和核正则化。将该方法应用于玩具地球模型，我们成功恢复了静态表面分布以及一个时间相关的云分量。此外，我们将该方法应用于DSCOVR/EPIC对地球的观测，反演出一个与真实云分布一致的动态分量，以及可大致解释为海洋、植被和陆地表面的分量。相对于静态自旋-轨道解混，混合模型显著降低了多波段光变曲线的残差散布，表明对动态分量的显式处理改善了基于颜色变化的全局限图。这些结果为同时反演静态和动态行星分量迈出了一步，同时突出了对更物理的云-表面掩模模型和不确定性量化的需求。
英文摘要
Photometric variability of directly imaged exoplanets encodes information on both persistent surface features and time-variable phenomena such as clouds. We present Hybrid Spin-Orbit Tomography, a method that simultaneously retrieves multiple static components and a single dynamic component, together with their reflection spectra, from multiband photometric variability. The method integrates spectral unmixing and dynamic spin-orbit tomography by introducing a time-dependent component into the forward model. We employ sparse regularization for static surface distributions, volume regularization for reflection spectra, and a Kronecker-sum kernel regularization for the dynamic component. Applying the method to a toy Earth model, we successfully recover static surface distributions together with a single time-dependent cloud component. Furthermore, we apply the method to DSCOVR/EPIC observations of Earth and retrieve a dynamic component consistent with real cloud distributions, together with components broadly interpretable as oceans, vegetation, and land surfaces. Relative to static spin-orbit unmixing, the hybrid model substantially reduces the residual scatter of the multiband light curves, demonstrating that explicit treatment of dynamic components improves global mapping from color variability. These results provide a step toward the simultaneous retrieval of static and dynamic planetary components, while highlighting the need for more physical cloud-surface masking models and uncertainty quantification.
