摘要:

通过凌日观测测量的巨行星的半径可能会因瑞利散射或不透明度的变化而随波长变化。据预测,这种影响大到足以使用地面观测在多个波长进行检测。本文介绍了用Stromgren u,Gunn g,r和Johnson I滤波器同时获得的HAT-P-5系统中星凌的散焦测光。通过耿氏滤波器观察到另外两个凌日事件。我们在u中探测到了一个大得多的行星半径,但其影响大于使用气态行星的理论模型大气所预测的。这种现象很可能是由于u波段测光中存在的系统误差造成的,这些系统误差源于地球大气层在这些短波长处的透明度变化。我们使用我们的数据来计算一个改进的轨道星历,并完善系统的测量物理特性。行星HAT-P-5 b的质量为1.06 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.01 Mjup,半径为1.252 +/- 0.042 +/- 0.008 Rjup(分别为统计误差和系统误差),使其略大于根据无核心气体巨行星的标准模型所预期的。它的平衡温度为1517 +/- 29 K,与被广泛研究的行星HD 209458 b的平衡温度相差不到60 K。

英文摘要:

The radii of giant planets, as measured from transit observations, may vary with wavelength due to Rayleigh scattering or variations in opacity. Such an effect is predicted to be large enough to detect using ground-based observations at multiple wavelengths. We present defocussed photometry of a transit in the HAT-P-5 system, obtained simultaneously through Stromgren u, Gunn g and r, and Johnson I filters. Two more transit events were observed through a Gunn r filter. We detect a substantially larger planetary radius in u, but the effect is greater than predicted using theoretical model atmospheres of gaseous planets. This phenomenon is most likely to be due to systematic errors present in the u-band photometry, stemming from variations in the transparency of Earth's atmosphere at these short wavelengths. We use our data to calculate an improved orbital ephemeris and to refine the measured physical properties of the system. The planet HAT-P-5b has a mass of 1.06 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.01 Mjup and a radius of 1.252 +/- 0.042 +/- 0.008 Rjup (statistical and systematic errors respectively), making it slightly larger than expected according to standard models of coreless gas-giant planets. Its equilibrium temperature of 1517 +/- 29 K is within 60K of that of the extensively-studied planet HD 209458b.
