摘要:

太阳系外行星凌日是探测其大气层和提取行星关键物理特性的有力工具,如平均密度,化学成分或大气结构。每隔3.5天,围绕HD 209458运行的气态行星的凌日提供了研究其大气光谱特征的机会。本文介绍了利用HST/ACS对凌日系外行星HD209458 b的近紫外透射光谱研究。我们给出了用于观测HD 209458 b两次凌日的7个HST轨道的数据分析。由于各种剩余的系统,NUV中的行星半径无法以高精度提取。然而,我们推导出在2800和3100 AA之间的半径Rp=1.4Rjup+/-0.08,这与之前在可见光下的测量结果一致。

英文摘要:

Extrasolar planetary transits are powerful tools to probe their atmosphere and to extract key physical properties of planets, like their mean densities, chemical compositions, or atmospheric structures. Every 3.5 days, the transits of the gaseous planet orbiting HD209458 offer the opportunity to investigate the spectral features of its atmosphere. We present here NUV transmission spectroscopy of the transiting extrasolar planet HD209458b using HST/ACS. We show the data analysis of the seven HST orbits which were used to observe two transits of HD209458b. Due to various remaining systematics, the radius of the planet in the NUV could not be extracted with a high precison. However, we derived a radius of Rp=1.4Rjup+/-0.08 between 2800 and 3100 AA which is consistent with previous measurements in the visible.
