Activity of the K4 Dwarf HAT-P-11 and Mass Loss of the Atmosphere of Its Exoplanet HAT-P-11 b
摘要
In this paper, the results of an analysis of photometric activity of the star HAT-P-11, which hosts two planets, have been presented. This analysis has been based on archival data from the KWS, DASCH, and ASAS-SN sky surveys, as well as the Kepler telescope archive. S-index variability data have also been examined. Evidence of long-term cycles of 500–600 and 600–700d has been found. The DASCH archive data have supported this conclusion by suggesting longer cycles. Based on the ASAS-SN survey data, the cyclicity on scales of approximately 1500 days has been suggested. Based on the S-index data, the cycle length (3848d) is close to the estimated orbital period of 3299 days for the exoplanet HAT-P-11 c. Using an approximation formula corresponding to the energy-limited atmosphere loss model, we have estimated the mass outflow from the atmosphere of planet b. These estimates range from
