چکیده

We have measured the infrared transit of the extrasolar planet HD209458 b using the Spitzer Space Telescope. We observed two primary eclipse events (one partial and one complete transit) using the 24 μm array of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). We analyzed a total of 2392 individual images (10-second integrations) of the planetary system, recorded before, during, and after transit. We perform optimal photometry on the images and use the local

A SPITZER INFRARED RADIUS FOR THE TRANSITING EXTRASOLAR PLANET HD 209458b

We have measured the infrared transit of the extrasolar planet HD 209458b using the Spitzer Space Telescope. We observed two primary eclipse events (one partial and one complete transit) using the 24 m array of the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). We analyzed a total of 2392 individual images (10 s integrations) of the planetary system, recorded before, during, and after transit...

A method for the direct determination of the surface gravities of transiting extrasolar planets

We show that the surface gravity of a transiting extrasolar planet can be calculated from only the spectroscopic orbit of its parent star and the analysis of its transit light curve. This does not require additional constraints, such as are often inferred from theoretical stellar models or model atmospheres. The planet’s surface gravity can therefore be measured precisely and from only directly...

Strong Infrared Emission from the Extrasolar Planet

We report detection of strong infrared thermal emission from the nearby (d = 19 pc) transiting extrasolar planet HD189733b, by measuring the flux decrement during its prominent secondary eclipse. A 6-hour photometric sequence using Spitzer’s infrared spectrograph in peak-up imaging mode at 16 μm shows the secondary eclipse depth to be 0.551±0.030%, with accuracy limited by NRC Postdoctoral Rese...
