摘要:

我们测量了HD 189733b在其明亮的(V = 7.67)色球活跃和斑点母星前面通过的渡越时间。在2006年8月的21天里,用MOST(恒星的微变和振荡)空间望远镜获得了该系统的近连续宽带光学测光,监测了10次连续的凌日。我们使用这些数据来搜索偏离恒定轨道周期的情况,这可以表明系统中存在其他行星,这些行星尚未被多普勒搜索发现。在${\pm}45$ s的水平上没有凌日时间变化,排除了在1:2和2:3内共振中的超级地球(质量为$1 - 4 M_{\earth}$)和在已知行星的2:1外共振中的20颗$M_{\earth}$的行星。我们还讨论了复杂的过境时间测量行星过境一个活跃的恒星与大星点,以及如何过境可以帮助约束和测试点模型。这对预计将由CoRoT和开普勒任务发现的大量此类系统具有影响。

英文摘要:

We have measured transit times for HD 189733b passing in front of its bright (V = 7.67) chromospherically active and spotted parent star. Nearly continuous broadband optical photometry of this system was obtained with the MOST (Microvariability & Oscillations of STars) space telescope during 21 days in August 2006, monitoring 10 consecutive transits. We have used these data to search for deviations from a constant orbital period which can indicate the presence of additional planets in the system that are as yet undetected by Doppler searches. There are no transit timing variations above the level of ${\pm}45$ s, ruling out super-Earths (of masses $1 - 4 M_{\earth}$) in the 1:2 and 2:3 inner resonances and planets of 20 $M_{\earth}$ in the 2:1 outer resonance of the known planet. We also discuss complications in measuring transit times for a planet that transits an active star with large star spots, and how the transits can help constrain and test spot models. This has implications for the large number of such systems expected to be discovered by the CoRoT and Kepler missions.
