论文摘要

目前,寻找宇宙中的生命集中在地球上的行星上。但是,我们应该准备好在宿主恒星方面,而且在表面环境方面找到多样的陆地系外行星。涵盖广泛参数空间的可居住行星的模拟高分辨率光谱对于训练检索工具,优化观察策略和解释即将进行的观察至关重要。地面极大的望远镜,例如ELT,GMT和TMT;原来,Habex和Luvoir等未来的基于空间的任务概念旨在表征各种潜在的可居住世界。这些望远镜中的一些将使用高精度径向速度技术来获得所需的高分辨率光谱($ r \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 100,000 $),以表征潜在的可居住的系外行星。 在这里,我们提出了一个高分辨率(0.01 cm $^{ - 1} $)的数据库,用于模拟外部的模拟系外行星的反射和发射光谱,从而接收到从F0到K7的12个不​​同宿主恒星的地球相似的照射。 根据表面类型和宿主恒星的不同,我们显示了光谱特征强度以及整体反射率,排放和恒星与行星对比度在其宿主恒星宜居区中的差异。考虑到恒星通量和表面的波长依赖性相互作用将有助于确定可见和红外光谱观测的最佳目标。 我们所有的光谱和模型配置文件均可在线提供。

The search for life in the universe is currently focused on Earth-analog planets. However, we should be prepared to find a diversity of terrestrial exoplanets not only in terms of host star but also in terms of surface environment. Simulated high-resolution spectra of habitable planets covering a wide parameter space are essential in training retrieval tools, optimizing observing strategies, and interpreting upcoming observations. Ground-based extremely large telescopes like ELT, GMT, and TMT; and future space-based mission concepts like Origins, HabEx, and LUVOIR are designed to have the capability of characterizing a variety of potentially habitable worlds. Some of these telescopes will use high precision radial velocity techniques to obtain the required high-resolution spectra ($R\approx100,000$) needed to characterize potentially habitable exoplanets. Here we present a database of high-resolution (0.01 cm$^{-1}$) reflection and emission spectra for simulated exoplanets with a wide range of surfaces, receiving similar irradiation as Earth around 12 different host stars from F0 to K7. Depending on surface type and host star, we show differences in spectral feature strength as well as overall reflectance, emission, and star to planet contrast ratio of terrestrial planets in the Habitable zone of their host stars. Accounting for the wavelength-dependent interaction of the stellar flux and the surface will help identify the best targets for upcoming spectral observations in the visible and infrared. All of our spectra and model profiles are available online.
