Does the HD 209458 planetary system pose a challenge to the stellar atmosphere models?
نویسنده
چکیده
Aims. There are very few comparisons between theoretical and empirical limb-darkening coefficients (LDCs). To develop this scenario, we analyse the case of the HD 209458 planetary system for which 10 passband measurements of linear and quadratic LDCs are

Probing the Stellar Surface of HD209458 from Multicolor Transit Observations
Multicolor photometric observations of a planetary transit in the system HD 209458 are analyzed. The observations, made in the Strömgren photometric system, allowed a recalculation of the basic physical properties of the star-planet system. This includes derivation of linear limb-darkening values of HD 209458, which is the first time that a limb-darkening sequence has observationally been deter...
متن کاملMulticolor Observations of a Planetary Transit of Hd 209458
We present BV RIZ photometric observations of HD 209458 during the transit by its planetary companion on UT 1999 November 15 with the University of Hawaii 0.6m and 2.2m telescopes and the High Altitude Observatory STARE telescope. The detailed shape of the transit curve is predicted to vary with color due primarily to the color-dependent limb-darkening of the star, but potentially due as well t...
متن کاملMagnesium in the atmosphere of the planet HD 209458 b: observations of the thermosphere-exosphere transition region
The planet HD 209458 b is one of the most well studied hot-Jupiter exoplanets. The upper atmosphere of this planet has been observed through ultraviolet/optical transit observations with H i observation of the exosphere revealing atmospheric escape. At lower altitudes just below the thermosphere, detailed observations of the Na i absorption line has revealed an atmospheric thermal inversion. Th...
متن کاملDetection of an Extrasolar Planet Atmosphere 1
We report high precision spectrophotometric observations of four planetary transits of HD 209458, in the region of the sodium resonance doublet at 589.3 nm. We find that the photometric dimming during transit in a bandpass centered on the sodium feature is deeper by (2.32 ± 0.57) × 10 relative to simultaneous observations of the transit in adjacent bands. We interpret this additional dimming as...
متن کاملHD 209458 and the Power of the Dark Side
The rich wealth of observational data, and matching theoretical investigations, of the transiting planet of HD 209458 stands in sharp contrast to systems for which only the radial velocity orbit is known. In this paper, I summarize the current status of these observations, and motivate a variety of projects that should be accessible with existing instruments. I describe observational estimates ...
