在初次凌日期间,系外行星大气的光谱特征可以使用透射光谱学来测量。我们可以通过研究系外行星在光学区域的过量钠吸收来获得这些行星高层大气的信息。然而,许多因素会影响观察到的钠吸收特征。本文提出了一个详细的模型,对系统偏差进行了修正,得到了HD 189733 b钠吸收的精确深度。目的:精确测量HD 189733 b的大气钠吸收光变曲线,修正恒星边缘差异、恒星活动和系外行星径向速度变化引起的“颠簸”效应。事实上,由于我们的数据的高节奏和质量,这是第一次,最后一个功能可以检测到,即使通过目测inspection.MethodsWe使用244高分辨率的光谱由UVES仪器安装在VLT。我们的观测涵盖了HD 189733 b的一次完整凌日,其步频为45秒。为了探测钠的透射光谱,我们在每个钠D线的核心内,在1 μ m、1.5 μ m和3 μ m的通带内,产生了对恒星通量积分的过量光变曲线。我们模拟外部源的影响,多余的光变曲线,这对应于所观察到的恒星耀斑开始接近中期过境时间和波长依赖的边缘变暗的影响。此外,通过表征钠线内部行星钠线径向速度变化和多普勒频移的影响,我们估计了系外行星钠特征的深度和宽度。结果我们估计了行星钠线的形状,其等效宽度为~0.0023 ± 0.0010 nm,从而证实HD 189733 b大气中存在钠,对于1 μ m、1.5 μ m和3 μ m的积分带,过量吸收水平分别为0.72 ± 0.25%、0.34 ± 0.11%和0.20 ± 0.06%,分别使用行星钠线的等效宽度,我们产生一阶估计的数密度的钠在系外行星大气。
ContextDuring primary transits, the spectral signatures of exoplanet atmospheres can be measured using transmission spectroscopy. We can obtain information on the upper atmosphere of these planets by investigating the exoplanets’ excess sodium absorption in the optical region. However, a number of factors can affect the observed sodium absorption signature. We present a detailed model correcting for systematic biases to yield an accurate depth for the sodium absorption in HD 189733b.AimsThe goal of this work is to accurately measure the atomspheric sodium absorption light curve in HD 189733b, correcting for the effects of stellar differential limb-darkening, stellar activity, and a “bump” caused by the changing radial velocity of the exoplanet. In fact, owing to the high cadence and quality of our data, it is the first time that the last feature can be detected even by visual inspection.MethodsWe use 244 high-resolution optical spectra taken by the UVES instrument mounted at the VLT. Our observations cover a full transit of HD 189733b, with a cadence of 45 s. To probe the transmission spectrum of sodium we produce excess light curves integrating the stellar flux in passbands of 1 Å, 1.5 Å, and 3 Å inside the core of each sodium D-line. We model the effects of external sources on the excess light curves, which correspond to an observed stellar flare beginning close to mid-transit time and the wavelength dependent limb-darkening effects. In addition, by characterizing the effect of the changing radial velocity and Doppler shifts of the planetary sodium lines inside the stellar sodium lines, we estimate the depth and width of the exoplanetary sodium feature.ResultsWe estimate the shape of the planetary sodium line by a Gaussian profile with an equivalent width of ~0.0023 ± 0.0010Å, thereby confirming the presence of sodium in the atmosphere of HD 189733b with excess absorption levels of 0.72 ± 0.25%, 0.34 ± 0.11%, and 0.20 ± 0.06% for the integration bands of 1 Å, 1.5 Å, and 3 Å, respectively. Using the equivalent width of the planetary sodium line, we produce a first order estimate of the number density of sodium in the exoplanet atmosphere.
