Data pubblicazione: | 2023 | Rivista: | THE ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL | Numero: | 165 | Fascicolo: | 4 | Da pagina:: | 157 | Abstract: | Recent observations have shown that the atmospheres of ultrahot Jupiters (UHJs) commonly possess temperature inversions, where the temperature increases with increasing altitude. Nonetheless, which opacity sources are responsible for the presence of these inversions remains largely observationally unconstrained. We used LBT/PEPSI to observe the atmosphere of the UHJ KELT-20 b in both transmission and emission in order to search for molecular agents which could be responsible for the temperature inversion. We validate our methodology by confirming a previous detection of Fe i in emission at 16.9σ. Our search for the inversion agents TiO, VO, FeH, and CaH results in non-detections. Using injection-recovery testing we set 4σ upper limits upon the volume mixing ratios for these constituents as low as ∼1 × 10−9 for TiO. For TiO, VO, and CaH, our limits are much lower than expectations from an equilibrium chemical model, while we cannot set constraining limits on FeH with our data. We thus rule out TiO and CaH as the source of the temperature inversion in KELT-20 b, and VO only if the line lists are sufficiently accurate. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34626 | URL: | http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85150461465&partnerID=MN8TOARS https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/acb7e2 |
