Stellar_flare_hits_HD_189733_b_(artist's_impression)

This artist's impression shows the hot Jupiter HD 189733b, as it passes in front of its parent star, as the latter is flaring, driving material away from the planet. The escaping atmosphere is seen silhouetted against the starlight. The surface of the star, which is around 80% the mass of the Sun, is based on observations of the Sun from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.

The deep blue color of HD 189733b: Albedo measurements with Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope imaging spectrograph at visible wavelengths

Abstract:

We present a secondary eclipse observation for the hot Jupiter HD 189733b across the wavelength range 290-570 nm made using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope. We measure geometric albedos of Ag = 0.40 ± 0.12 across 290-450 nm and Ag < 0.12 across 450-570 nm at 1σ confidence. The albedo decrease toward longer wavelengths is also apparent when using six wavelength bins over the same wavelength range. This can be interpreted as evidence for optically thick reflective clouds on the dayside hemisphere with sodium absorption suppressing the scattered light signal beyond 450 nm. Our best-fit albedo values imply that HD 189733b would appear a deep blue color at visible wavelengths. © 2013. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved..
