A stringent upper limit to 18 cm radio emission from the extrasolar planet system τ Boötis
Context. It has been speculated for many years that some extrasolar planets may emit strong cyclotron emission at low radio frequencies in the range 10−100 MHz. Despite several attempts no such emission has yet been seen. Aims. The hot Jupiter system τ Boötis is one of the nearest (d = 15 pc) exoplanets known to date. The gravitational influence of this massive hot Jupiter (M = 6 Mjup) has lock...
متن کاملStrong 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...
متن کاملSTRONG INFRARED EMISSION FROM THE EXTRASOLAR PLANET HD 189733b
We report detection of strong infrared thermal emission from the nearby (d 1⁄4 19 pc) transiting extrasolar planet HD 189733b by measuring the flux decrement during its prominent secondary eclipse. A 6 hr photometric sequence using Spitzer’s infrared spectrograph in peak-up imaging mode at 16 m shows the secondary eclipse depth to be 0:551% 0:030%, with accuracy limited by instrumental baseline...
متن کاملA stringent upper limit to SO2 in the Martian atmosphere
Surfur-bearing molecules have been found at the surface of Mars by the Viking lander, the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, and the OMEGA infrared spectrometer aboard Mars Express. However, no gaseous sulfur-bearing species have ever been detected in the Martian atmosphere. We search for SO2 signatures in the thermal spectrum of Mars at 7.4 μm using the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (TE...
متن کاملThe extrasolar planet atmosphere and exosphere: Emission and transmission spectroscopy
We have entered the phase of extrasolar planets characterization, probing their atmospheres for molecules, constraining their horizontal and vertical temperature profiles and estimating the contribution of clouds and hazes. We report here a short review of the current situation using ground based and space based observations, and present the transmission spectra of HD189733b in the spectral ran...
