Scientific Issues
• 空间与地面的大量观测与统计表明,在恒星附近有很多短周期气态
巨行星、类地行星。这些行星是在当地(in-situ)形成还是在行星
盘经历了轨道迁移,抑或是引力不稳定性导致?
•在迁移过程中原行星是否仍然吸积盘中气体而继续生长?什么动力
学机制使行星轨道迁移停止?
• 短周期行星长期潮汐和动力学演化状况如何?
•它们内部结构与物质分布如何,与太阳系行星有何异同?
•大气成分有何特征,是否存在水、二氧化碳、甲烷、氧气等适合生
命存在的重要化学指纹?
•是否可以发现宜居的地球大小的行星?

Planetary migration

Close-in planets formation: a new mechanism
A new mechanism is revealed by which the collision–merger of planetary embryos can
kick terrestrial planets directly into orbits extremely close to their parent stars.

Time variations of a1 and e1 with various eccentricity pairs
a2 and e2 remain almost constant because of its far distance from the star
Numerical results are consistent with those from the general secular theory

Constrain the planet structure
Lissauer et al. 2013, ApJ
From Wikipedia
•Find the possible structure of a planet in combination with the possible formation
scenarios.
•Does a planet have a atmosphere? Can the pressure and temperature at the bottom
of the atmosphere support liquid water?
TMT Science I: Primary eclipse and secondary eclipse
Transmission Spectrum, HD 189733b
Swain et al. 2008, Nature
•
Planet mass and radius are the only
information that we could get.
However, there is large degeneracy in
them (Valencia 2007; Seager 2007)
•
One possible way to break this
degeneracy is try to get the bulk
composition of the planet through
spectroscopy.

Transit observations reveal a cloudy atmosphere
Kreidberg et al. 2014, Nature
Transit observations with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) show that the super-Earth planet
GJ 1214b may contain clouds in its atmosphere.
Featureless transmission spectrum of GJ 436b also suggests a cloudy atmosphere.

•
Obtain the luminosity and spectroscopic information of a planet.
•
Provide us clues about the atmospheric chemistry and composition.
•
Planet luminosity at young age could help us to distinguish how it is
formed, by core accretion (cold start) or by gravitational instability (hot
start).
Ongoing project in our group: atmosphere modeling and
spectroscopy

For comparison, we superimpose our result, the green line, in this Figure.
The next step: Planet Atmosphere Retrieval
• First:
substitute
2-band
atmosphere profile with the nongrey model.
(Parmentier & Guillot 2013)
• Second: combine the MCMC
with our forward model to build
an atmospheric retrieval program.

Summary
• Transit observations and spectroscopy study could reveal the atmospheric
feature and composition of close-in exoplanets (gas-giants, super-Earths
and Earth analogs ).
• Direct imaging will obtain the luminosity and the spectroscopic
information of a planet at large separations, especially at young ages.
• A lot of theoretical studies are required, such as atmospheric chemistry,
atmospheric circulation, spectroscopy and retrieval, radiation transfer, etc.
• TMT will definetely provide us a good opportunity to extensively
investigate exoplanets, understand the complexity and diversity of
planetary systems, to detect Earth-like planets in HZs.
