摘要:

恒星活动可以产生大量的高能辐射,这些辐射被行星大气吸收,导致辐射驱动的质量损失。我们提出了一个过境的超级地球主机系统,GJ 1214,基于XMM-牛顿观测的高能量发射的检测和调查。我们得到X射线光度LX=7.4E25 erg/s,相应的活度水平log(LX/Lbol)~-5.3。此外,我们确定的日冕温度约为-3.5 MK,这是典型的中度活跃的低质量恒星的日冕发射。我们估计GJ 1214 b以1.3E10 g/s的速率蒸发,总共损失了约2-5.6 MEarth。

英文摘要:

Stellar activity can produce large amounts of high-energy radiation, which is absorbed by the planetary atmosphere leading to irradiation-driven mass-loss. We present the detection and an investigation of high-energy emission in a transiting super-Earth host system, GJ 1214, based on an XMM-Newton observation. We derive an X-ray luminosity LX=7.4E25 erg/s and a corresponding activity level of log(LX/Lbol)~ -5.3. Further, we determine a coronal temperature of about -3.5 MK, which is typical for coronal emission of moderately active low-mass stars. We estimate that GJ 1214 b evaporates at a rate of 1.3E10 g/s and has lost a total of ~2-5.6 MEarth.
