Hot Methane Line Lists for Exoplanet and Brown Dwarf Atmospheres
We present comprehensive experimental line lists of methane (CH4) at high temperatures obtained by recording Fourier transform infrared emission spectra. Calibrated line lists are presented for the temperatures 300–1400◦C at twelve 100◦C intervals spanning the 960–5000 cm−1 (2.0–10.4μm) region of the infrared. This range encompasses the dyad, pentad, and octad regions, i.e., all fundamental vib...
متن کاملExoMol: molecular line lists for exoplanet and other atmospheres
The discovery of extrasolar planets is one of the major scientific advances of the last two decades. Hundreds of planets have now been detected and astronomers are beginning to characterize their composition and physical characteristics. To do this requires a huge quantity of spectroscopic data most of which are not available from laboratory studies. The ExoMol project will offer a comprehensiv...
متن کاملThe Brown Dwarf - Exoplanet Connection
Brown dwarfs are commonly regarded as easily-observed templates for exoplanet studies, with comparable masses, physical sizes and atmospheric properties. There is indeed considerable overlap in the photospheric temperatures of the coldest brown dwarfs (spectral classes L and T) and the hottest exoplanets. However, the properties and processes associated with brown dwarf and exoplanet atmosphere...
متن کاملMethane Opacities in T Dwarf Atmospheres
We present the current status of PHOENIX model atmospheres for dwarfs of the spectral type T, typical for older field brown dwarfs and low-mass brown dwarfs. The results are based on new predictions of the CH4 line opacities from theoretical calculations with the STDS software package, extrapolating to transitions from rotational levels up to J = 40. While individual line positions and strength...
متن کاملAccurate variational calculations for line lists to model the vibrationrotation spectra of hot astrophysical atmospheres
The first principles calculation of the spectra of small molecules is making a significant impact on high-resolution spectroscopy as well as astrophysics and atmospheric physics. Variational nuclear motion calculations, combined with highaccuracy ab initio electronic structure computations, are being used to make spectral predictions of increasing accuracy with very few a priori assumptions. Th...
