The Study of Exoplanetary Atmosphere with IGRINS Keun-Hong Park Seoul National University
Outline Introduction Method Observation Analysis Result
Introduction Why Exoplanetary Atmosphere? 1.Formation of the Planetary System 2.Environment of Exoplanet 3.Extraterrestrial Life
IGRINS Instruments of the previous studies NICMOS (HST) CRIRES (VLT) OSIRIS (KECK) … IGRINS (McDonald) H & K band ( ㎛ ) at once : Wide wavelength coverage R ~ 40,000 : High Resolution The Goal of this study Finding of new molecular features The properties of exoplanetary atmospheres
Method Absorption line in Primary Eclipse Thermal emission in Secondary Eclipse

Observation Tau Boo b Non-Transit Star F6IV H ~ 3.6 R planet /R star = 0.08 Observed on Apr. 29 Clear In Transit (?) : 120sec × 64, S/N ~ 1200 at 1.6 Out of Transit (?) : 120sec × 64, S/N ~ 1100 at 1.6 WASP-3 b F7V H ~ 9.4 R planet /R star = 0.11 Observed on May 1 Clear -> Cloudy In Transit : 240sec × 14, S/N ~ 120 at 1.6 Out of Transit : 240sec × 22, S/N ~ 220 at 1.6
Analysis Line HITRAN 2012 Shift of the lines Tau Boo : Radial Velocity from SIMBAD WASP-3 : Calculation from Mg I line ( nm) Long Wavelength μm μm CH4 HCl H2O C2H2 N2O H2S C2H2 CO2 CONH3 HI OH
Analysis stellar Stellar - planet stellar Stellar – planet - atmosphere
Analysis < 0.01 nm from the molecular lines Away from telluric & other contamination. Pixels of the lines > 0.05 nm from the molecular lines Away from telluric & other contamination. Pixels of the continuum K-S Test Probability that two groups are same Low Probability : Differences between lines & Continuum
Result K-S test with 11 molecular in the spectra of two target stars. Expected Result Tau Boo (non-Transit) : All of the probabilities are high. WASP-3 (Transit) : Some of the probabilities are low. WASP-3 Couldn’t find any evidence of the atmosphere
Result Tau Boo CH4, NH3, H2S shows the low probability. ????
