Thermal Emission from the hot Jupiter WASP-103b in J and Ks Bands

Abstract

Hot Jupiters, particularly those with temperature higher than 2000 K are the best sample of planets that allow in-depth characterization of their atmospheres. We present here a thermal emission study of the ultra hot Jupiter WASP-103 b observed in two secondary eclipses with CFHT/WIRCam in J and Ks bands. By means of high precision differential photometry, we determine eclipse depths in J and Ks to an accuracy of 220 and 270 ppm, which are combined with the published HST/WFC3 and Spitzer data to retrieve a joint constraints on the properties of WASP-103 b dayside atmosphere. We find that the atmosphere is best fit with a thermal inversion layer included. The equilibrium chemistry retrieval indicates an enhanced C/O (1.35${}_{-0.17}^{+0.14}$) and a super metallicity with [Fe/H]$=2.19_{-0.63}^{+0.51}$ composition. Given the near-solar metallicity of WASP-103 of [Fe/H]=0.06, this planet seems to be $\sim$100 more abundant than its host star. The free chemistry retrieval analysis yields a large abundance of FeH, H${}^{-}$, CO${}_2$ and CH${}_4$. Additional data of better accuracy from future observations of JWST should provide better constraint of the atmospheric properties of WASP-103b.
