论文摘要
我们提出了行星质量对象迄今为止的最高保真度光谱。 VHS 1256 b是$ <$ 20 m $ _ \ mathrm {jup} $广泛分开的($ \ sim $ 8 \ arcsec,a = 150 au),年轻的,星球质量的伴侣,共享具有光度的光度颜色和光谱特征,并与直接Im Im Imaged exoplanets HR 8799 c,d和e共享。作为L-TO-T转型对象,VHS 1256 B沿着颜色标记图的区域存在,其中实体气氛从云彩到透明。我们观察到VHS 1256〜b,\ textIt {JWST}的NIRSPEC IFU和MIRI MRS MORS模式从1 $μ$ m到20 $μ$ m,分辨率为$ \ sim $ \ sim $ 1,000-3,700。基于模板棕色矮光谱,分子不相差和大气模型的比较,在\ textit {JWST}光谱的几个部分中观察到水,甲烷,一氧化碳,二氧化碳,钠和钾。 VHS 1256 B的光谱形状受不平衡化学和云的影响。我们直接检测到硅云,这是行星质量伴侣报告的第一个此类检测。
We present the highest fidelity spectrum to date of a planetary-mass object. VHS 1256 b is a $<$20 M$_\mathrm{Jup}$ widely separated ($\sim$8\arcsec, a = 150 au), young, planetary-mass companion that shares photometric colors and spectroscopic features with the directly imaged exoplanets HR 8799 c, d, and e. As an L-to-T transition object, VHS 1256 b exists along the region of the color-magnitude diagram where substellar atmospheres transition from cloudy to clear. We observed VHS 1256~b with \textit{JWST}'s NIRSpec IFU and MIRI MRS modes for coverage from 1 $μ$m to 20 $μ$m at resolutions of $\sim$1,000 - 3,700. Water, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sodium, and potassium are observed in several portions of the \textit{JWST} spectrum based on comparisons from template brown dwarf spectra, molecular opacities, and atmospheric models. The spectral shape of VHS 1256 b is influenced by disequilibrium chemistry and clouds. We directly detect silicate clouds, the first such detection reported for a planetary-mass companion.
