Abstract

The four directly imaged planets orbiting the star HR8799 are an ideal laboratory to probe atmospheric physics and formation models. We present more than a decade's worth of Keck/OSIRIS observations of these planets, which represent the most detailed look at their atmospheres to date by its resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. We present the first direct detection of HR8799d, the second-closest known planet to the star, at moderate spectral resolution with Keck/OSIRIS (K-band; R~4000). Additionally, we uniformly analyze new and archival OSIRIS data (H and K band) of HR8799b, c, and d. First, we show detections of water (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the three planets and discuss the ambiguous case of methane (CH4) in the atmosphere of HR8799b. Then, we report radial-velocity (RV) measurements for each of the three planets. The RV measurement of HR8799 d is consistent with predictions made assuming coplanarity and orbital stability of the HR8799 planetary system. Finally, we perform a uniform atmospheric analysis on the OSIRIS data, published photometric points, and low-resolution spectra. We do not infer any significant deviation from the stellar value of the carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O) of the three planets, which therefore does not yet yield definitive information about the location or method of formation. However, constraining the C/O for all the HR8799 planets is a milestone for any multiplanet system, and particularly important for large, widely separated gas giants with uncertain formation processes.
