论文摘要

我们使用Cheops太空望远镜在光学/可见光中报告了热木星HD 209458B的次要食物的检测。我们对20.4 +/- 3.3 ppm的测量转化为A_G = 0.096 +/- 0.016的几何反照率。先前估计的日期温度约为1500 k,这意味着我们的几何反照率测量主要由反射的星光组成,并且在很大程度上未经热发射的污染。这使得当前结果成为任何系外行星的A_G最强大的测量之一。我们对带通综合的几何反照率的计算表明,A_G的测量值与无云的气氛一致,在这种气氛中,氢分子通过雷利散射反射的星光,水和钠丰度与明星金属性一致。我们预测,带通的苔丝几何反照率太微弱,无法检测到,如果大气确实不含云,则观察到的Cheops观察到的HD 209458B相位曲线将具有与雷利散射相关的明显形状。

We report the detection of the secondary eclipse of the hot Jupiter HD 209458b in optical/visible light using the CHEOPS space telescope. Our measurement of 20.4 +/- 3.3 ppm translates into a geometric albedo of A_g = 0.096 +/- 0.016. The previously estimated dayside temperature of about 1500 K implies that our geometric albedo measurement consists predominantly of reflected starlight and is largely uncontaminated by thermal emission. This makes the present result one of the most robust measurements of A_g for any exoplanet. Our calculations of the bandpass-integrated geometric albedo demonstrate that the measured value of A_g is consistent with a cloud-free atmosphere, where starlight is reflected via Rayleigh scattering by hydrogen molecules, and the water and sodium abundances are consistent with stellar metallicity. We predict that the bandpass-integrated TESS geometric albedo is too faint to detect and that a phase curve of HD 209458b observed by CHEOPS would have a distinct shape associated with Rayleigh scattering if the atmosphere is indeed cloud free.
