GJ 1252b: A Hot Terrestrial Super-Earth with No Atmosphere

چکیده
The increasing numbers of rocky, terrestrial exoplanets known to orbit nearby stars (especially M dwarfs) has drawn increased attention the possibility studying these planets' surface properties, and atmospheric compositions & escape histories. Here we report detection secondary eclipse exoplanet GJ1252b using Spitzer Space Telescope's IRAC2 4.5 micron channel. We measure an depth 149(+25/-32) ppm, corresponding a day-side brightness temperature 1410(+91/-125) K consistent with prediction for no atmosphere. Comparing our measurement models indicates that pressure <10 bar, substantially less than Venus. Assuming energy-limited escape, even 100 bar atmosphere would be lost in <1 Myr, far shorter estimated age 3.9+/-0.4 Gyr. expected mass loss could overcome by mantle outgassing, but only if mantle's carbon content were >7% - over two orders magnitude greater found Earth. therefore conclude significant Model spectra granitoid or feldspathic composition, atmosphere, are disfavored at >2 sigma. occurs just +1.4(+2.8/-1.0) min after orbital phase 0.5, indicating e cos omega=+0.0025(+0.0049/-0.0018), circular orbit. Tidal heating is likely negligible GJ1252b's global energy budget. Finally, also analyze additional, unpublished TESS transit photometry which improves precision ephemeris factor ten, provides more precise planetary radius 1.180+/-0.078 R_E, rules out any timing variations amplitudes min.

متن کاملHigh Metallicity and Non-Equilibrium Chemistry in the Dayside Atmosphere of Hot-Neptune Gj 436b
We present a detailed analysis of the dayside atmosphere of the hot-Neptune GJ 436b, based on recent Spitzer observations. We report statistical constraints on the thermal and chemical properties of the planetary atmosphere, study correlations between the various molecular species, and discuss scenarios of equilibrium and non-equilibrium chemistry in GJ 436b. We model the atmosphere with a one-...
متن کاملObservational Consequences of the Recently Proposed Super - Earth Orbiting GJ 436
Ribas and collaborators have recently proposed that an additional, ∼ 5 M ⊕ planet orbits the transiting planet host star GJ 436. Long-term dynamical interactions between the two planets leading to eccentricity excitation might provide an explanation for the transiting planet's unexpectedly large orbital eccentricity. In this paper we examine whether the existence of such a second planet is supp...
متن کاملEvolution of terrestrial proto -CO 2 atmosphere coupled with thermal history of the earth
The effect of volatde exchange between surface reservoirs and the mantle on the evolution of proto-CO 2 atmosphere on the Earth is investigated using a global carbon cycle model coupled with thermal evolution of the mantle. Carbon is assumed to circulate among five reservoirs (atmosphere, ocean, continents, seafloor and mantle) and the carbon flux of each reservoir is calculated under varying c...
متن کاملStrangelets in Terrestrial Atmosphere
A new dynamical model for the propagation of strangelets through the terrestrial atmosphere is proposed. Strangelets are small lumps of strange quark matter (SQM) which consist of roughly equal numbers of up, down and strange quarks. Since the suggestion of Witten[1]in 1984 that these strangelets, and not ordinary nuclear matter, represent the true ground state of QCD, this area of research has...
