Planetary transits

transit of Mercury
observed with Hinode
transit in the Solar System
If a planetary orbit passes in front of its host star by chance,
we can observe exoplanetary transits as periodical dimming.
transit in exoplanetary systems
(we cannot spatially resolve)
slightly dimming

etc
from the detections, we can estimate dayside
temperature of these planets

Theoretical studiesAgol et al. (2005), Holman & Murray (2005)
additional planet causes modulation of TTVs
very sensitive to planets
• in mean-motion resonance
• in eccentric orbits
for example, Earth-mass planet in 2:1 resonance around a transiting hot Jupiter causes TTVs over a few min
ground-based observations (even with small telescopes) are useful to search for additional planets
in the Kepler era, TTVs will become one of an useful method to search for exoplanets

When a transiting planet hides stellar rotation,
radial velocity of the host star would havean apparent anomaly during transit.

The shape of RM effectdepends on the trajectory of the transiting
planet.

Previous studies

Spin-orbit misaligned exoplanet
Winn et al. (2009)
(λ= 37.3 ± 3.7 degrees)
The RM effect of XO-3b
![Page 25: Past and Future Studies of Transiting Extrasolar Planets](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814587550346895db269bc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Comparison with migration theories
So far almost all planets show no large misalignment
consistent with standard Type II migration models
2 of 3 eccentric planets also show no misalignment
Only 1 exception is XO-3b
λ= 37.3 ± 3.7 degrees (Winn et al. 2009)
formed through planet-planet scattering?
The RM effect is useful to test planet migration models More samples (especially eccentric planets) needed

Summary of past studies
“Planetary transits” enable us to characterize
planetary size, inclination, and density
dayside temperature
clues for additional planets
components of atmosphere
obliquity of spin-orbit alignment
such info. is only available for transiting planets
Past studies were mainly done for hot Jupiters

from Kepler website
The beginning of the Kepler era
NASA Kepler mission
launched last week!
Large numbers of transiting
planets will be discovered
Hopefully Earth-like planets
in habitable zone may be
discovered
Future studies will target
such new planets

New telescopes for new targets
James Webb Space Telescope SPICA
We will be able to observe transits and secondary eclipses of new targets with these new telescopes.

Prospects for future studies
Future studies include characterization of new
transiting planets with new telescopes
many Jovian planets, super Earths, and smaller planets
rings, moons will be searched around transiting planets
secondary eclipse observations to measure dayside
temperature
transmission spectroscopy for Earth-like planets in
habitable zone to search for biomarkers

Transits enable us to characterize planets in
