Transit spectrophotometry of the exoplanet HD 189733b
Context. We present a new primary transit observation of the hot-jupiter HD 189733b, obtained at 3.6 μm with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. Previous measurements at 3.6 microns suffered from strong systematics, and conclusions could hardly be obtained with confidence on the water detection by comparison of the 3.6 and 5.8 microns observations. Aims. We aim...
متن کاملThe Brown Dwarf - Exoplanet Connection
Brown dwarfs are commonly regarded as easily-observed templates for exoplanet studies, with comparable masses, physical sizes and atmospheric properties. There is indeed considerable overlap in the photospheric temperatures of the coldest brown dwarfs (spectral classes L and T) and the hottest exoplanets. However, the properties and processes associated with brown dwarf and exoplanet atmosphere...
متن کاملExoplanet hosts reveal lithium depletion
Aims. We study the impact of the presence of planets on the lithium abundance of host stars and evaluate the previous claim that planet hosts exhibit lithium depletion when compared to their non-host counterparts. Methods. Using previously published lithium abundances, we remove the confounding effect of the different fundamental stellar parameters by applying a multivariable regression on our ...
متن کاملStellar activity in exoplanet hosts
Most of the efforts on the search and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets are currently focused on low mass stars. These represent the vast majority of the population in our galaxy (about 75% of the stars have a lower mass than the Sun) and their interest lies in the fact that the photometric and spectroscopic signal of orbiting Earth-like planets is higher due to lower star-planet size a...
متن کاملMetallicities of M Dwarf Planet Hosts from Spectral Synthesis
We present the first spectroscopic metallicities of three M dwarfs with known or candidate planetary mass companions. We have analyzed high resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra of these stars which we obtained at McDonald Observatory. Our analysis technique is based on spectral synthesis of atomic and molecular features using recently revised cool-star model atmospheres and spectrum synthes...
