本研究利用JWST完整表征L/T过渡褐矮星CW2106,推导其基本参数,发现近红外需多云模型而中红外需无云模型,预测云层以顽火辉石为主并移除约23%的体氧。
AI 中文摘要
在本研究中,我们利用詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜(JWST)展示了L/T过渡天体CWISE J210640.16+250729.0(CW2106)的完整(97.3%完备)0.8–12.5微米光谱能量分布(SED)。我们提供了主星元素丰度和年龄的全面表征。我们经验性地推导了CW2106的辐射光度(L_bol≈-4.825太阳光度),并获得了其质量(M≈50–62木星质量)、半径(R≈0.83–0.87木星半径)、有效温度(T_eff≈1213 K)和表面重力(log g≈5.28 dex)的估计值。我们发现近红外(near-IR)光谱(0.8–2.5微米)最适合用多云大气模型再现,而中红外(mid-IR)光谱(5–12.5微米)最适合用无云模型再现。这表明云层仅限于大气最深层可观测部分,并通过缺乏9微米硅酸盐特征得到证实。利用主星的Mg/Si比以及热化学模型,我们预测CW2106中的云主要由顽火辉石(MgSiO3)组成,从大气中移除了约23%的体氧。未来的反演研究将有助于探究这些云物种的存在及其全部影响。
英文摘要
In this study, we present the full (97.3\% complete) 0.8--12.5 $μ$m spectral energy distribution (SED) of an L/T transition object, CWISE J210640.16+250729.0 (CW2106), using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We provide a full characterization of the host star's elemental abundances and age. We empirically derive the bolometric luminosity ($L_{\rm bol}\approx-4.825$ $\textup{L}_\odot$) of CW2106, and obtain estimates of its mass (M$\approx50-62$ M$_{\rm Jup}$), radius (R$\approx0.83-0.87$ R$_{\rm Jup}$), effective temperature ($T_{\rm eff}$$\approx1213$ K), and surface gravity ($\log~g$$\approx5.28$ dex). We find the near-infrared (near-IR) spectrum ($0.8-2.5 ~μ$m) is best reproduced with cloudy atmospheric models while the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectrum ($5-12.5 ~μ$m) is best reproduced with cloudless models. This suggests a cloud layer restricted to only the deepest observable parts of the atmosphere and is qualified by the lack of a 9 $μ$m silicate feature. Making use of the Mg/Si ratio of the primary, alongside thermochemical models, we predict the clouds in CW2106 to be composed primarily of enstatite (MgSiO$_3$), removing $\sim23\%$ of the bulk oxygen out of the atmosphere. Future retrieval studies will be able to help investigate the existence and full impact of these cloud species.
