摘要:

HD 209458是研究热木星大气及其通过行星风蒸发的基准天体之一。行星大气层的膨胀被认为是由高能EUV和X射线辐射驱动的。我们获得了新的钱德拉HRC-I数据,明确表明HD 209458是一个X射线源。将这些数据与XMM-牛顿观测档案相结合,我们发现HD 209458日冕的特征是温度约为1 MK,发射量为7 e49 cm^-3,在0.124-2.48 keV波段产生的X射线光度为1.6 e27 erg/s。HD 209458是一颗不活跃的恒星,其日冕温度与不活跃的太阳相当,但辐射量更大。在这种活动水平下,行星的高能辐射足以支持质量以几倍于1 e10 g/s的速度损失。

英文摘要:

HD 209458 is one of the benchmark objects in the study of hot Jupiter atmospheres and their evaporation through planetary winds. The expansion of the planetary atmosphere is thought to be driven by high-energy EUV and X-ray irradiation. We obtained new Chandra HRC-I data, which unequivocally show that HD 209458 is an X-ray source. Combining these data with archival XMM-Newton observations, we find that the corona of HD 209458 is characterized by a temperature of about 1 MK and an emission measure of 7e49 cm^-3, yielding an X-ray luminosity of 1.6e27 erg/s in the 0.124-2.48 keV band. HD 209458 is an inactive star with a coronal temperature comparable to that of the inactive Sun but a larger emission measure. At this level of activity, the planetary high-energy emission is sufficient to support mass-loss at a rate of a few times 1e10 g/s.
