摘要:

本文给出了用哈勃空间望远镜上的空间望远镜成像光谱仪拍摄的热木星HD209458 b的透射光谱。我们的分析结合了两种分辨率的数据,并应用了一个完整的逐像素的边缘暗化校正,以充分揭示大气吸收特征的谱线形状。基于地面的Na I和H I污染被确定,这掩盖了Na核心中强的系外行星吸收特征,我们发现在4.4 Ang波段中达到~0.11%的总吸收水平。Na谱线分布的特征在于在最低吸收深度处的宽吸收分布,以及在较高吸收值处向窄吸收分布的急剧过渡。透射光谱还显示在约6,250 Ang处存在额外的吸收体,在中等和低分辨率下观察到。我们进行了各种边缘变暗测试,包括使用高精度的太阳边缘变暗测量来表征Atlas模型的一般趋势,以略微高估所有波长的边缘变暗量,这可能是由于模型的一维性质的限制。我们的结论是,尽管有这些局限性,阿特拉斯模型仍然可以成功地模拟边缘变暗的高信号噪声过境的太阳型恒星,如HD209458,在整个光学制度(3000 - 10000安)在第二和第三次接触之间的过渡阶段的高精度水平。

英文摘要:

We present the transmission spectra of the hot-Jupiter HD209458b taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. Our analysis combines data at two resolutions and applies a complete pixel-by-pixel limb-darkening correction to fully reveal the spectral line shapes of atmospheric absorption features. Terrestrial-based Na I and H I contamination are identified which mask the strong exoplanetary absorption signature in the Na core, which we find reaches total absorption levels of ~0.11% in a 4.4 Ang band. The Na spectral line profile is characterized by a wide absorption profile at the lowest absorption depths, and a sharp transition to a narrow absorption profile at higher absorption values. The transmission spectra also shows the presence of an additional absorber at ~6,250 Ang, observed at both medium and low resolutions. We performed various limb-darkening tests, including using high precision limb-darkening measurements of the sun to characterize a general trend of Atlas models to slightly overestimate the amount of limb-darkening at all wavelengths, likely due to the limitations of the model's one-dimensional nature. We conclude that, despite these limitations, Atlas models can still successfully model limb-darkening in high signal-to-noise transits of solar-type stars, like HD209458, to a high level of precision over the entire optical regime (3,000-10,000 Ang) at transit phases between 2nd and 3rd contact.
