3.8-Micron Photometry During the Secondary Eclipse of the Extrasolar Planet HD 209458b

Drake Deming, L. Jeremy Richardson, Joseph Harrington

摘要:

我们报道了太阳系外行星HD 209458 b在二次食(行星从恒星后面经过)时的红外测光。2003年9月,在美国航天局红外望远镜设施的两次日食期间获得了观测结果。我们使用了一个中心为3.8微米的圆形可变滤波器(1.5%的带通),以隔离该波长处行星的预测通量峰值。剩余的大地吸收和仪器的变化被删除的望远镜偏移到附近的明亮的比较星在一个高的时间节奏。我们的结果给出了二次日食的深度为0.0013 +/- 0.0011,还没有足够的精度来检测日食,其预期深度约为0.002 - 0.003。我们在这里阐明目前的观测限制,这种技术,并讨论所需的方法来实现探测热木星在3.8微米从地面的次日食。

英文摘要:

We report infrared photometry of the extrasolar planet HD 209458b during the time of secondary eclipse (planet passing behind the star). Observations were acquired during two secondary eclipses at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) in September 2003. We used a circular variable filter (1.5-percent bandpass) centered at 3.8 microns to isolate the predicted flux peak of the planet at this wavelength. Residual telluric absorption and instrument variations were removed by offsetting the telescope to nearby bright comparison stars at a high temporal cadence. Our results give a secondary eclipse depth of 0.0013 +/- 0.0011, not yet sufficient precision to detect the eclipse, whose expected depth is approximately 0.002 - 0.003. We here elucidate the current observational limitations to this technique, and discuss the approach needed to achieve detections of hot Jupiter secondary eclipses at 3.8 microns from the ground.
