Detection of Oxygen and Carbon in the Hydrodynamically Escaping Atmosphere of the Extrasolar Planet HD 209458b
Open accessAbstract
Four transits of the planet orbiting the star HD 209458 were observed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope . The wavelength domain (1180-1710 Å) includes H I as well as C I, C II, C IV, N V, O I, S I, Si II, Si III, and Si IV lines. During the transits, absorptions are detected in H I, O I, and C II (5% ± 2%, 13% ± 4.5%, and 7.5% ± 3.5%, respectively). No absorptions are detected for other lines. The 5% mean absorption over the whole H I Lyα line is consistent with the previous detection completed in 2003 at higher resolution (Vidal-Madjar et al.). The absorption depths in O I and C II show that oxygen and carbon are present in the extended upper atmosphere of HD 209458b (nicknamed "Osiris"). These species must be carried out up to the Roche lobe and beyond, most likely in a state of hydrodynamic escape.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
