摘要:

热木星HD 189733 b在其主要过境期间被斯皮策太空望远镜上的红外线阵列相机观测到。在3.6和5.8微米处同时测量过渡深度。对于均匀源,我们的分析在3.6和5.8微米处分别得到2.356 ± 0.019%和2.436 ± 0.020$ %.我们估计了边缘变暗和星点效应对最终结果的贡献。我们的结论是,虽然临边暗化增加了约0.02- 0.03%的过境深度,两个IRAC波段之间的差异效应甚至更小,0.01%。此外,已知主恒星是一颗活动的斑点K星,具有观测到的光度调制。如果我们采用覆盖率为20%的极端模型,使恒星表面的点冷1000 K,则观测到的凌日将变浅0.19和0.18%。两个波段之间的差异将仅为0.01%,与临边变暗校正方向相反。如果渡越深度受到临边变暗和斑点的影响,则3.6和5.8微米波段之间的差异效应非常小。在3.6和5.8微米处的差分渡越深度以及Knutson等人最近发表的差分渡越深度。(2007)在8微米处的测量结果与地球高层大气中存在水蒸气的情况一致。这是Tinetti等人(2007年b)的姊妹论文,其中介绍了详细的大气模型。

英文摘要:

The hot Jupiter HD 189733b was observed during its primary transit using the Infrared Array Camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The transit depths were measured simultaneously at 3.6 and 5.8 microns. Our analysis yields values of 2.356 +- 0.019 % and 2.436 +- 0.020$ % at 3.6 and 5.8 microns respectively, for a uniform source. We estimated the contribution of the limb-darkening and star-spot effects on the final results. We concluded that although the limb darkening increases by ~0.02-0.03 % the transit depths, and the differential effects between the two IRAC bands is even smaller, 0.01 %. Furthermore, the host star is known to be an active spotted K star with observed photometric modulation. If we adopt an extreme model of 20 % coverage with spots 1000K cooler of the star surface, it will make the observed transits shallower by 0.19 and 0.18 %. The difference between the two bands will be only of 0.01 %, in the opposite direction to the limb darkening correction. If the transit depth is affected by limb darkening and spots, the differential effects between the 3.6 and 5.8 microns bands are very small. The differential transit depths at 3.6 and 5.8 microns and the recent one published by Knutson et al.(2007) at 8 microns are in agreement with the presence of water vapour in the upper atmosphere of the planet. This is the companion paper to Tinetti et al. (2007b), where the detailed atmosphere models are presented.
