Hot Jupiters are among the best-studied exoplanets, but it is still poorly understood how their chemical composition and cloud properties vary with longitude. Theoretical models predict that clouds may condense on the nightside and that molecular abundances can be driven out of equilibrium by zonal winds. Here we report a phase-resolved emission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-43b measured from 5 μm to 12 μm with the JWST’s Mid-Infrared Instrument. The spectra reveal a large day–night temperature contrast (with average brightness temperatures of 1,524 ± 35 K and 863 ± 23 K, respectively) and evidence for water absorption at all orbital phases. Comparisons with three-dimensional atmospheric models show that both the phase-curve shape and emission spectra strongly suggest the presence of nightside clouds that become optically thick to thermal emission at pressures greater than ~100 mbar. The dayside is consistent with a cloudless atmosphere above the mid-infrared photosphere. Contrary to expectations from equilibrium chemistry but consistent with disequilibrium kinetics models, methane is not detected on the nightside (2σ upper limit of 1–6 ppm, depending on model assumptions). Our results provide strong evidence that the atmosphere of WASP-43b is shaped by disequilibrium processes and provide new insights into the properties of the planet’s nightside clouds. However, the remaining discrepancies between our observations and our predictive atmospheric models emphasize the importance of further exploring the effects of clouds and disequilibrium chemistry in numerical models. Phase-resolved mid-infrared observations from JWST of the hot gas giant WASP-43b detect a day–night difference of 659 ± 19 K. Comparison with climate models shows that the observations are compatible with cloudy skies, at least on the nightside, and the lack of methane detection suggests the presence of disequilibrium chemistry.
热木星是研究得最好的系外行星之一,但人们对其化学成分和云的性质如何随经度变化还知之甚少。理论模型预测,云可能会在夜侧凝结,分子丰度可能会被带状风吹得失去平衡。在此,我们报告了利用 JWST 中红外仪器从 5 μm 到 12 μm 测量的热木星 WASP-43b 的相位分辨发射光谱。光谱显示出巨大的昼夜温度反差(平均亮度温度分别为1,524 ± 35 K和863 ± 23 K),以及在所有轨道阶段都有水吸收的证据。与三维大气模型的比较显示,相位曲线形状和发射光谱都强烈表明存在夜侧云,当压力大于~100 毫巴时,这些云的光学厚度会变成热发射。日侧与中红外光层上方的无云大气相一致。与平衡化学的预期相反,但与不平衡动力学模型一致的是,夜侧没有检测到甲烷(2σ 上限为 1-6 ppm,取决于模型假设)。我们的研究结果有力地证明了 WASP-43b 的大气是由非平衡过程形成的,并为了解该行星夜侧云的性质提供了新的视角。然而,我们的观测结果与我们的预测大气模型之间仍然存在差异,这强调了在数值模型中进一步探索云和非均衡化学效应的重要性。

A low-density ocean inside Titan inferred from Cassini data 根据卡西尼数据推断土卫六内部存在低密度海洋

The Cassini mission has provided measurements of the gravity of several moons of Saturn as well as an estimate of the tidal response, which is expressed as the degree 2 Love number k2 of its largest moon, Titan. The first estimates of Titan’s Love number were larger than pre-Cassini expectations. Interior modelling suggested it may be explained with a dense ocean, but the interpretation remains unclear. We analysed Cassini tracking data to determine Titan’s gravity field and its Love number. Our gravity results are consistent with earlier studies, but we find a lower Love number for Titan of k2 = 0.375 ± 0.06. This lower value follows from an elaborate investigation of the tidal effects. We show that a dense ocean is not implied by the obtained Love number; instead, a water or ammonia ocean is more probable. A lower density ocean can increase the likeliness of contact between the silicate core and ocean, which can leach minerals into the ocean and could promote its habitability. Cassini tracking data yield a lower Love number for Titan than previous analysis. This result is compatible with a low-density internal ocean that might consist of a mix of water and ammonia.
卡西尼号任务提供了土星几颗卫星的重力测量数据以及潮汐反应的估计值,潮汐反应用土星最大的卫星土卫六的 2 级爱数 k2 表示。对土卫六爱数的最初估计大于卡西尼号之前的预期。内部建模表明,这可以用致密海洋来解释,但解释仍然不清楚。我们分析了卡西尼号的跟踪数据,以确定土卫六的重力场及其爱数。我们的重力结果与先前的研究结果一致,但我们发现土卫六的爱数较低,为 k2 = 0.375 ± 0.06。这个较低的数值来自对潮汐效应的详细研究。我们的研究表明,所获得的爱数并不意味着一个致密的海洋;相反,水或氨海洋的可能性更大。密度较低的海洋可以增加硅酸盐内核与海洋接触的可能性,从而将矿物质浸入海洋,提高海洋的宜居性。

Orbital polarimetric tomography of a flare near the Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole 人马座A*超大质量黑洞附近耀斑的轨道偏振层析成像图

The interaction between the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, and its accretion disk occasionally produces high-energy flares seen in X-ray, infrared and radio. One proposed mechanism that produces flares is the formation of compact, bright regions that appear within the accretion disk and close to the event horizon. Understanding these flares provides a window into accretion processes. Although sophisticated simulations predict the formation of these flares, their structure has yet to be recovered by observations. Here we show a three-dimensional reconstruction of an emission flare recovered from Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array light curves observed on 11 April 2017. Our recovery shows compact, bright regions at a distance of roughly six times the event horizon. Moreover, it suggests a clockwise rotation in a low-inclination orbital plane, consistent with prior studies by GRAVITY and the Event Horizon Telescope. To recover this emission structure, we solve an ill-posed tomography problem by integrating a neural three-dimensional representation with a gravitational model for black holes. Although the recovery is subject to, and sometimes sensitive to, the model assumptions, under physically motivated choices, our results are stable and our approach is successful on simulated data. A three-dimensional reconstruction of a bright flare orbiting the black hole Sagittarius A* is computationally recovered from ALMA light curve data by constraining a neural network with a gravitational model of black holes.
银河系中心的超大质量黑洞人马座A*与其吸积盘之间的相互作用偶尔会产生X射线、红外线和无线电波中可见的高能耀斑。产生耀斑的一个拟议机制是在吸积盘内和事件穹界附近形成紧凑、明亮的区域。了解这些耀斑为了解吸积过程提供了一个窗口。虽然复杂的模拟预测了这些耀斑的形成,但它们的结构还有待于观测来复原。在这里,我们展示了从2017年4月11日观测到的阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米波阵列光曲线中复原的发射耀斑的三维重建。我们的复原图显示了距离事件视界大约六倍的紧凑明亮区域。此外,它还表明它在一个低倾角轨道平面上顺时针旋转,这与之前 GRAVITY 和事件地平线望远镜的研究结果一致。为了恢复这一发射结构,我们通过将神经三维表示与黑洞引力模型相结合,解决了一个难以解决的层析成像问题。虽然恢复受制于模型假设,有时甚至对模型假设很敏感,但在物理动机的选择下,我们的结果是稳定的,我们的方法在模拟数据上是成功的。

Ultrarelativistic particles called cosmic rays permeate the Milky Way, propagating through the turbulent Galactic magnetic fields. The mechanisms under which these particles increase their energy can be reasonably described by current theories of acceleration and propagation of cosmic rays. There are, however, still many open questions as to how to reach petaelectronvolt (PeV) energies, the maximum energy believed to be attained in our Galaxy, and in which astrophysical sources (dubbed PeVatrons) this ultrahigh-energy acceleration happens. In this Review, we describe the theoretical conditions for plasma acceleration to these energies and the Galactic sources in which these conditions are possible. These theoretical predictions are then compared to the latest experimental results, summarizing the state of the art of our current knowledge of PeVatrons. We finally describe the prospects to keep advancing the understanding of these elusive objects, still unidentified more than 100 years after the discovery of cosmic rays. Cosmic rays at petaelectronvolt energies permeate the Milky Way, but their origin is unknown. This Review Article summarizes the physics required to accelerate particles to these ultrahigh energies, and their potential astrophysical sources (‘PeVatrons’).
被称为宇宙射线的超相对论粒子渗透到银河系中,在银河系湍流磁场中传播。目前的宇宙射线加速和传播理论可以合理地描述这些粒子增加能量的机制。然而,对于如何达到倍电子伏特(PeV)能量(据信这是我们银河系所能达到的最大能量),以及这种超高能量加速是在哪些天体物理源(被称为 PeVatrons)中发生的,仍有许多未决问题。在这篇综述中,我们描述了等离子体加速到这些能量的理论条件,以及可能存在这些条件的银河源。然后将这些理论预测与最新的实验结果进行比较,总结我们目前对 PeVatrons 的了解。最后,我们描述了继续推进对这些难以捉摸的天体的认识的前景,在宇宙射线被发现 100 多年后,这些天体仍然没有被识别出来。大电子伏特能量的宇宙射线弥漫在银河系中,但它们的起源却是未知的。这篇综述文章概述了将粒子加速到这些超高能量所需的物理学,以及它们的潜在天体物理来源("PeVatrons")。
