We report a new evaluation of the accretion properties of PDS 70b obtained with the Very Large Telescope/Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer. The main difference from the previous studies of Haffert et al. and Aoyama & Ikoma is in the mass accretion rate. Simultaneous multiple line observations, such as Hα and Hβ, can better constrain the physical properties of an accreting planet. While we clearly detected Hα emissions from PDS 70b, no Hβ emissions were detected. We estimate the line flux of Hβ with a 3σ upper limit to be 2.3 × 10−16 erg s−1 cm−2. The flux ratio FHβ/FHα for PDS 70b is 2.0 mag using the interstellar extinction value. By combining with the Hα linewidth and the dereddening line luminosity of Hα, we derive the PDS 70b mass accretion rate to be ≳5 × 10−7 MJup yr−1. The PDS 70b mass accretion rate is an order of magnitude larger than that of PDS 70. We found that the filling factor ff (the fractional area of the planetary surface emitting Hα) is ≳0.01, which is similar to the typical stellar value. The small value of ff indicates that the Hα emitting areas are localized at the surface of PDS 70b.
