Abstract
Transit observations of exoplanets make it possible to measure temperature and relative abundance of various elements in their atmospheres. The infrared line of metastable helium HeI 10 830 Å is widely used to study the atmospheres of exoplanets by the transit absorption method. The emission spectra of stars have a significant impact on the physical and chemical parameters of the upper layers of the atmospheres. In this paper, we consider the features of absorption in the helium line for stars of different spectral classes by numerical simulation. The results show the key role of the star’s emission spectrum in the formation of the upper atmosphere and in the amplitude of transit absorption of exoplanets in the HeI 10 830-Å line.
摘要-对系外行星的凌日观测使测量其大气层中各种元素的温度和相对丰度成为可能。通过凌日吸收法研究系外行星的大气层,可广泛利用氦的红外蜕变线 HeI 10 830 Å。恒星的发射光谱对大气上层的物理和化学参数有重要影响。本文通过数值模拟研究了不同光谱级别恒星的氦线吸收特征。结果表明,恒星的发射光谱对大气上层的形成以及系外行星在 HeI 10 830-Å 线的过境吸收幅度起着关键作用。
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics is an international peer reviewed journal that presents experimental and theoretical articles relevant to a wide range of problems of atmospheric and oceanic optics, ecology, and climate. The journal coverage includes: scattering and transfer of optical waves, spectroscopy of atmospheric gases, turbulent and nonlinear optical phenomena, adaptive optics, remote (ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne) sensing of the atmosphere and the surface, methods for solving of inverse problems, new equipment for optical investigations, development of computer programs and databases for optical studies. Thematic issues are devoted to the studies of atmospheric ozone, adaptive, nonlinear, and coherent optics, regional climate and environmental monitoring, and other subjects.
