(2016) that the use of the correlated-k approximation would alter the depth of the seed particle regions on the dayside of the RHD model, dependent on whether the dayside atmosphere is cooler or warmer because of this opacity change. E.J.W. Deming 11); how the C/O ratio changes across the globe and between the two planets (Fig. N. P. The observations yield new insights into the chemical composition and cloud structure of the entire class. Dsert The most abundant hydrocarbon molecule is CH4 in both planets, followed by HCN, OH and CH3 with changing importance depending on the local thermodynamic conditions. (2014), Barstow et al. 2012). The day/night-side temperature difference is larger for HD189733b in the middle atmosphere resulting in Tday/night 700K at the maximum of the temperature inversion at pgas = 102bar. However, Deming etal. 11) in a gas that is affected by element depletion due to cloud formation. To address this, we implement the multiple component, emission composite biasing method from Baes et al. Rodler A3, bottom) as result of the formation of seed particles occurring rather homogeneously along those trajectories studied here. Not all exoplanets are going to be habitable, many will be just the opposite. Swift's Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope captured this view of HD 189733b's host star on Sept. 14, 2011. The simulations of HD189733b were calculated using the model described in Dobbs-Dixon & Agol (2013). D.S. Lecavelier des Etangs (2015) initial results from Spitzer observations suggest no water detection for HD209458b but the spectrum would suggest the detection of haze and depleted CO. (2013) conclude that the detection of Si2 + indicates that clouds involving Si do not form in the atmosphere of HD209458b. The material composition of the cloud particles is considerably different between the two planets at these pressures at the substellar point. The oxygen depletion caused by the formation of clouds has a strong impact on the abundance of the dominant molecules as reiterated in Section6.2. First, Ti is one of the most depleted elements in an oxygen-rich atmosphere where cloud formation takes place. TiO2[s] rich grains are also more prevalent on the eastern terminator region, while silicates dominate the western regions. Hbrard O. Small amount of Al2O3[s], and a less than 1percent CaTiO3[s] and TiO2[s] contribute to the material composition throughout the whole cloud. (2014) demonstrated that a considerable overabundance of carbon over oxygen is very unlikely to occur during disc evolution, and that cloud formation is one mechanism to tip an atmosphere into a carbon-rich regime if C/O is already close to one. In this mode, should the packet be absorbed by the gas or cloud particles, it is terminated and no longer contributes to the simulation. (2015) suggest that their TiO opacity data were insufficient to reach any conclusion regarding a thermal inversion on HD209458b. It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. Chandra observations (0.15keV) indicate a deeper X-ray transit than for optical wavelengths (Poppenhaeger, Schmitt & Wolk 2013), but see Llama & Shkolnik (2015) for the effect of stellar variability. Ch. Comparing = 0 versus = 180 at the equator ( = 0) results in Tday/night 500K for HD209458b in the upper, low-pressure part of the atmosphere model. Many materials can be simultaneously thermally stable in a gas but these materials change depending on the carbon-to-oxygen ratio and the abundance ratios of other elements. Amundsen Figs7 and8 provide a quasi-3D view on the cloud material composition, Vs/Vtot, and the mean size of the cloud particles, a, for two different longitudes ( = 45, = 0 (equator)), various longitudes at dayside (Fig. Agndez etal. Shown are the number densities of atoms and molecules linked to the elements (O, Al, S, Mg, Ti Fe, Si Ca) involved in cloud formation. Dobrijevic It's possible Earth had more than one moon in the past, millions or even billions of years ago. We Seager Koskinen etal. The panels and line styles have the same meaning like in Fig. A. J. Grevesse As MgSiO3[s], Mg2SiO4[s] and SiO[s]/Fe2O3[s] make up >60percent of the cloud particle volume, its evaporation produces a substantial enrichment at the cloud base in oxygen, and to a lesser extent in Si and Mg in HD189733b. A. R. S. de Kok etal. R. . The equations are solved on a longitudelatitudeheight grid using a semi-Lagrangian, semi-implicit scheme (see Mayne etal. The equilibrium gas abundance of the most dominating gas species at the terminator points for HD189733b (Fig. the nightside), where Li, iLi, can therefore be under sampled in the emission scheme, which increases the variance of results derived from these regions. To represent the convective flux from the interior, an additional net upward flux is added to the blackbody emission from the bottom boundary (i.e. Brogi This is different to the day/night-side differences in mixing of HD189733b. The present paper provides more insight into the cloud properties of HD189733b and HD209458b by analysing the cloud formation processes based on 3D atmosphere simulations. D. M. (2015) obtained High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (HIRES) observations in H which suggest a magnetic field strength of 28G for the giant gas planet HD189733b. HD 189733 b is an exoplanet that orbits close to HD 189733A. Redfield N. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible, Lungbarrow) Gallifrey's moons perished with the . A combination of 199 gas-phase molecules (including 33 complex carbon-bearing molecules), 16 atoms and various ionic species were used under the assumption of LTE. Longitudinal and vertical changes of the local gas temperature, Tgas [K], and gas pressure, pgas [bar], along the equator ( = 0) for HD189733b (left) and HD209458b (right). (2008) scheme in several ways: cloud particle opacity and scattering properties, derived from 3Dself-consistent cloud forming RHD simulation results; addition of a thermal emission mode, using the thermodynamic properties of the 3D RHD simulation results; higher radial, longitude, latitude resolution (R, , ) = (100, 160, 64) given by the RHD grid cell sizes; k-distribution opaque absorbing gas species to the opacity scheme interpolated to the 3D RHD T-p profiles; addition of survival biasing and composite biasing variance reduction techniques for the MCRT scheme; stochastic cloud particle size distribution sampling, based on the microphysical cloud formation results of the RHD simulation; Rayleigh scattering for small cloud particle size parameters and H2 molecular scattering; two-term Henyey-Greenstein scattering for larger size parameter cloud particle scattering events. A. H. M. J. V. Schwarz Additional Supporting Information may be found in the online version of this article: (http://www.mnras.oxfordjournals.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1093/mnras/stw662/-/DC1). The water on HD 189733b is too hot to condense into clouds; however, previous observations of the planet from Spitzer and other ground and space-based telescopes suggest that it might have dry clouds, along with high winds and a hot, sun-facing side that is warmer than its dark side. (3)). In HD189733b, strong water features have been reported while such features appear less strong for HD209458b. Large molecules like C2H6 and C2H3 followed by CH3CN are the most abundant molecules after CH4, HCN, OH and CH3. In this scheme the packets are not terminated upon absorption but are forced to scatter with reduction in their weight at each event. 2012, 2014) suggest a possible sub-solar H2O abundance on the dayside of HD 189733b, which would lower the amplitude of the H2O features in our results. We therefore present the cloud extinctions for HD189733b and HD209458b for their dayside and the nightside in conjunction with the a(z) (height-dependent mean cloud particle size). The cloud particle size, a [cm], is determined by the efficiency of surface growth and evaporation reactions. Artist's interpretation of what the exoplanet, flare, and atmosphere loss might have looked like. (2014) report the detection of water in the transit absorption spectrum of HD189733b. In summary, our updated model improves the realism of the Hood et al. Please consider enabling javascript in your browser. M. 1989; Lacis & Oinas 1991; Grimm & Heng 2015) band averages from the high-resolution opacity tables across 250 bins, linear in wave-number between (wavelengths) 0.3 and 5 m. For example, the eastern terminator generally has mean particles sizes a ~ 0.01 m, composed of a mix of Si-O materials and TiO2. The cloud material composition in the upper and intermediate cloud layers is generally more rich in HD189733b than in HD209458b meaning more materials contribute to each cloud particle. Independent of longitude and latitude, a strong height dependence of the cloud particle material composition and their mean size occur in both planets. Grillmair 2008; Helling & Fomins 2013). Ehrenreich We note that additional evidence (e.g. Rimmer This interaction imprints information on the composition and motion of the planet's atmosphere into the star's light.In April 2010, the researchers observed a single transit using Hubble's Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), but they detected no trace of the planet's atmosphere. 2014a) which were run for 600 and 1800 Earth days, respectively. C. J. Torres The most prominent example is the substellar point where in the case of HD189733b all Si, Mg and Fe is returned to the gas phase through the evaporation of the Si/Mg binding materials (MgSiO3[s], Mg2SiO4[s], SiO[s], SiO2[s], Fe[s], FeO[s], Fe2O3[s]) as result of the temperature inversion. The efforts of deriving observational constraints on the atmosphere chemistry are challenged by the repeated detection of a thick cloud layer on HD189733b through transit spectroscopy (Gibson etal. 2011; Barstow etal. HD189733b and HD209458b are the two most observed extrasolar planets. L. The extinction drops rapidly at a certain pressure level in both planets and this is associated with the strong rise in particles sizes. We suggest HD 189733b to have apparent geometric albedos A g ~ 0.222, 0.205, and 0.229 in the Kepler, TESS, and CHEOPS photometric bands, respectively. In both planets, however, the cloud opacity is largest in the upper cloud layers which are dominated by particles of a 0.1m. The less irradiated HD189733b shows a stronger day/night-side variation in mixing activity with the nightside showing considerably less efficient mixing than HD209458b. Seager 2010; Madhusudhan & Burrows 2012). Small drift velocities near the cloud base are caused by increasing friction due to the increasing local gas density. The exterior boundary is imposed at a density of = 109gcm3 is assumed to be isothermal, and allows outflow. Consequently, the optically thin atmospheric layers will always be more vigorously mixed in HD209458b compared to HD189733b indicating a stronger variability in potential spectral features. At Science 2.0, scientists are the journalists, A8) and for HD209458b as complementary material to the results shown in the main text in form of 2D tables for the total extinction sampled across the globe (Figs16 and17). However, this information may help identify planet candidates for more detailed spectrometer follow-up observations where observation time is more limited. Winters Stam The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days. Horizontal winds would affect the cloud formation profoundly if the horizontal wind time-scale would be of the order of the time-scales of the microscopic cloud formation processes. The HD209458b (Tgas(z), pgas(z)) structures are generally smoother than in HD189733b across all latitudes (). 5, dashed black line), which is the phase function of a theoretical, perfectly isotropic scattering sphere (e.g. W. The supersaturation ratio, S, equals 1 if the growth and the evaporation rates are equal, hence when thermal stability, or phase equilibrium, is achieved. 10 OGLE-2016-BLG-1195LbThe Iceball Planet. The opacities are derived using analytic abundances for chemical equilibrium, and no additional opacity sources are added. The Lowdown on Planet HD 189733b. Exoplanet HD 189733 b.jpg. In the first three panels, the dashed lines indicate the properties at the right-hand axis, the solid lines to the left-hand axis. If an opacity source is artificially added in form of TiO/VO, also the HD209458b models develop a temperature inversion (Showman etal. The planet radius, however, is set to 1.259Rjup to take into account the atmosphere contribution. We also produce Kepler band predictions, despite K2 not scheduled to observe HD 189733b to allow a comparison to other studies focused on modelling Kepler objects (e.g. Additionally, the Lee et al. E. Gallifrey had at least two large moons and a ring system, similar to Saturn in Earth's solar system. This variation indicates high abundance of hydrocarbons like methane and hydrogen cyanide in the planet's thick atmosphere, and low abundance of water - probably not your next vacation destination! 2016). Snellen The local mixing parameter, Kzz = HPvz [cm2s1], for HD189733b (left) and HD209458b (right) along the equator ( = 0) for different latitudes. Both planets harbour chemically complex clouds that are made of mineral particles that have a height-dependent material composition and size. Hersant (2016) which, in their GCM model grids, show that planets at the effective temperature of HD 189733b (Teq~ 1200 K) would be bright in the Kepler band owing to the scattered light from cloud particles. Bilger etal. It is suggested that TiO and VO exist in two distinct layers including one at higher atmospheric layers above the S = 1-level where potential condensates would be thermally stable.1 This conclusion about the presence of gaseous TiO or VO, however, can only be correct if the layer above S = 1 is warmer such that S < 1, i.e. solid) material s. We remark that the coordinate system used in meteorology refers to as the longitude and as latitude. A stratosphere occurs when molecules in the atmosphere absorb ultraviolet and visible light from the star. P. G. J. P. D. Snellen Gibson M. Aigrain It is, however, likely that these molecules would be hidden beneath cloud layers as the comparison with the cloud particle number density in Figs14 andA7 suggests. The component that dominates the observation will be wavelength- and phase-dependent owing to the 3D inhomogeneous scattering opacities (from cloud particles) and temperature profiles (from atmospheric circulation) of the planet. As consequence, the mean grain size changes vividly along such a trajectory, hence the cloud particle sizes change strongly with atmospheric height, but also with longitude as Fig. A closer inspection, however, reveals that for ( = 0, = 90) the cloud material composition differs. Some 63 million light-years away, in the constellation Vulpecula the Fox, binary star system HD 189733 has at least one exoplanet in orbit, designated HD 189733b. et al. Our results indeed show that the upper part of the cloud on HD189733b is dominated by small cloud particles of 0.010.1m and an abundance of nd 104cm3. This illustration shows HD 189733b, a huge gas giant that orbits very close to its host star HD 189733. Scott Cloud formation, in contrast, is almost always parametrized in terms of number and sizes of particles, settling and mixing efficiencies in complex simulations like as part of radiative transfer simulations or circulation models (see e.g. The nightmare world of HD 189733 b is the killer you never see coming. Jackson We are therefore confident that the number of elements will neither alter the cloud particle sizes nor their material composition substantially. (22)) probability distribution function and a uniform (in cell number) distribution function is applied. Chang The challenge is now to statistically evaluate and reset these initial parameters such that a best fit to a set of observational information is achieved. The simulations of HD209458b we use as input were run using the adapted UK Met Office General Circulation Model (GCM), called the Unified Model (UM). Internal rearrangement may lead to the formation of Ca2Al2SiO7[s] or MgAl2O4[s] which are long living minerals that, however, cannot form directly from the gas phase. HD 189733b clouds do have a middle region of big grains with a HD 209458b 1 m a HD 189733b 10 3 m at p gas 10 2 bar. HD189733b top, HD209458b bottom. 2015). N. Here we use the vertical velocity component from the 3D simulations for both planets directly. (38)) of our HD 189733b simulation as a function of wavelength at several viewing angles ( = 0 is the sub-stellar point). For both planets, the dayside (Fig. A. Jeong 2008). The planet's atmosphere is scorching with a temperature of over 1000 degrees Celsius, and it . de Kok Line A. A1) which causes fewer seed particles to form, hence the cloud particles can grow bigger than in a case of more efficient nucleation as in HD189733b. HD209458b: = 300, 330, 0, 30, 60. Venot This is of particular interest if the cloud particle formation took place at a different location compared (e.g. Johnson due to C2 and C3; Helling, Winters & Sedlmayr 2000 or TiO/VO; Fortney etal. L. N. et al. HD 189733 A is an orange dwarf star of the spectral type K1.5V. The rate of formation of condensation seeds (nucleation rate), J* [cm3s1], along the equator. TiO for TiO2[s]; SiO, Mg, SiS, Mg(OH)2 for Mg2SiO4[s]; CaO, CaS, TiO for CaTiO3[s]) are present in the gas phase. Our results show that the mean cloud particle size can be as small as 0.01m at the cloud top which might be accessible by transit spectroscopy. Letters Editor-in-Chief: J. Alves (2012). For gas absorption opacities abs,gas, we adopt the solar metallicity, chemical equilibrium Sharp & Burrows (2007) opacity tables, without TiO and ViO opacities, linearly interpolated to the RHD cell thermodynamic properties. The 3D results for HD189733b are from the 3D radiation-hydrodynamic simulation by Dobbs-Dixon & Agol (2013), the 3D results for HD209458b are from the 3D General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations by Mayne etal. The thermodynamic properties of the atmospheres of the giant gas planets HD189733b and HD209458b differ considerably due to the different global parameters of the planets like radii, bulk density and equilibrium temperature. 9. (2016) which modelled disentangling scattered and emitted components from a combined Kepler and TESS photometry for revisited Kepler field planets. Comparing the abundances of molecules of major interest for observations, CO, H2O and CH4, for HD189733b and HD209458b shows that the abundance of CO and H2O is very similar in both atmospheres at the substellar point (Fig. A light-year is a measure of . If nucleation and growth become inefficient, large-scale processes like gravitational settling determine the global cloud formation (section 6 in Woitke & Helling 2003). We conclude the results section with a discussion on the noise errors and convergence of the MCRT results. All wavelengths show a 10 eastward offset from the sub-stellar point. 12). HD209458b Not much seems known from observation about cloud properties on HD209458b, except the suggestion that the observation of Si2 + in the planet's exosphere indicates that no clouds involving Si should form (Koskinen etal. To conserve the total luminosity, each emitted packet is given a cell dependent starting weight of (24)where (25)is the average cell luminosity at wavelength . Initial download of the metrics may take a while. This is demonstrated in Fig. They do not find any emission signature required to confirm a thermal inversion in the atmosphere of HD209458b. 2015; Helling et al. A7). S. While the western terminator a ~ 0.1 m with larger volume fractions of MgSiO3[s] and Mg2SiO4[s] (Paper I). This artist's rendering illustrates the evaporation of HD 189733b's atmosphere in response to a powerful eruption from its host star. Jupiter also has the biggest moon in our solar system, Ganymede. Woitke & Helling 2003; Parmentier et al. Composite emission biasing is also applied to decrease the noise error of results derived from nightside regions (Sect. M. H. R. D. Sing S. Giles Lecavelier des Etangs 9 shows that HD209458b receives an even stronger oxygen enrichment at the cloud base which, however, results mainly from MgSiO3[s] and SiO2[s] evaporation (compare bottom of Figs7 and8). 6 shows the dust-to-gas ratio, dust/gas, which can be understood as dust load of the atmosphere. Punctuation and style concerns regarding equations, figures, tables, and footnotes, 10. of the Internal Revenue Code that's Following now the cloud extinction at = 0, 45 and = 315 in HD189733b in Fig. Such a chain of chemical reactions can proceed by adding a molecular unit during each reaction step (e.g. Ch. It is therefore a long-standing challenge to determine atmospheric element abundances to a high precision for stellar atmospheres (e.g. Figs7 and8 offer a 3D impression of how the cloud material composition and the mean grain sizes change for the atmospheric trajectories probed in HD189733b (top) and HD209458b (bottom). The -values are somewhat offset for both planets due to the use of different grids. Scattered light apparent geometric albedo Ag, (Eq. We use the parameters presented in Torres et al. J. We suggest that qualitative information about the nature of the cloud particles on exoplanets can be inferred by comparing the relative geometric albedos and phase curve offsets of TESS and CHEOPS photometry data. de Kok The approach that this paper follows has the limitation of not taking into account the potential effect of horizontal winds on the cloud formation. Krster (2009). Lee etal. HD 189733b, HAT-P-12b, WASP-17b, WASP-19b, HAT-P-1b v HD 209458b. Ch. S.-M.

The monochromatic apparent geometric albedo Ag, is defined as the fraction of scattered light at zero phase angle ( = 0) to an equivalent spherical Lambertain surface (e.g. G. Both groups treat their cloud parameters and gas-phase abundances as independent parameters and find a degeneracy between gas composition and cloud particle parameters. (2014). M. Gas-phase composition HD189733b at the two terminators ( = 0, = 90, 270): O Al, S, Mg, Ti Fe, Si Ca. This version of the animation includes "absorbed" and "transmitted" labels. 2008) and leads to the formation of a substantial material mantle on top of the seed. Fly by past the planet HD 189733b . D. K. Wang The local thermodynamic structure (Tgas(z), pgas(z)) determines the cloud formation because the cloud formation processes (nucleation, growth/evaporation) depend on local properties only. Wood The colour coding for the third and fourth panels is TiO2[s] solid very dark blue; Al2O3[s] solid blue; CaTiO2[s] solid purple; FeS[s] dotted green; FeO[s] dashed green; Fe[s] solid green; SiO[s] dashed brown; SiO2[s] solid brown; MgO[s] dashed dirty orange; MgSiO3 dashed orange; Mg2SiO4 solid orange. (2014). Barman Heating is incorporated through a spatially varying direct heating term in each of the wavelength bins. But there are times when the earth has more than one moon, and we are currently in one of those phases. Crouzet et al. M. S. The next most important material is Mg2SiO4[s] (18percent) in HD189733b but SiO[s] (20percent) in HD209458b. This gravitational settling determines the vertical extension of a cloud. But this is only possible if the models extend to high enough gas temperatures that the cloud particles can evaporate completely. A. J.
